Exhaled metabolites revealed postmenopausal osteoporosis via gut-bone axis – an end of a beginning | Research Communities by Springer Nature
We analysed exhaled metabolites to find endogenous volatile markers indicative of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our non-invasive breath test served as more rapid and reliable classification of osteoporosis risk while compared to conventional serum bone markers and included markers of gut-bone axis.
New Battery Interphase Technology: Electrophile Reduction Strategy | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Our work presents a new interphase chemistry in which reductive electrophiles gain electrons and cations from solid-state electrolytes upon contact, forming layers on the materials' surfaces, which enhances their electrochemical stability and offers adaptable solutions for other battery materials.
Room-temperature phosphorescent transparent wood | Research Communities by Springer Nature
In the quest for sustainable development, scientists are continuously inspired by nature to create innovative technologies. One such breakthrough is featured in a recent paper published in Nature Communications, which introduces the topic of "Room-temperature phosphorescent transparent wood."
Behind the scenes — from construct design to SAMURI 3D structures | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Crystal structures of the SAM-utilizing ribozyme, SAMURI, were decoded, revealing the structural features that distinguishes itself from SAM riboswitches and thus enables the alkyl transfer reactions.
High-valence bismuth(V) nanoplatform to potentiating tumor immunotherapy | Research Communities by Springer Nature
A high-valence bismuth(V) nanoplatform has been proposed for the first time for triggering cancer cell death and anti-tumor immune responses via an exogenous excitation-free and endogenous H2O2- and O2-independent reactive oxygen species generation behavior.
Dual-channel near-field holographic MIMO communications based on programmable digital coding metasurface and electromagnetic theory | Research Communities by Springer Nature
By using programmable digital coding metasurface, a dual-channel near-field holographic MIMO communication system is realized in low cost and low system complexity.
The Thinking Robot inspires practical wisdom in Humans | Research Communities by Springer Nature
A new study investigates the role of a robot’s inner speech in enhancing human phronesis, the ability to make ethically sound decisions, particularly when caring for individuals with special needs. This research marks a significant step toward the development of Artificial Phronesis.
A therapeutic approach to pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Pantothenate-kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare disease caused by pathogenic variants in the PANK2 (pantothenate kinase 2) gene, causing dystonia, rigidity, choreoathetosis, retinal degeneration or optic atrophy, neuropsychiatric abnormalities and early death.
Elevating the Public Realm: A Framework for Designing Resilient Urban Green Spaces in Hyperdense Cities | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This research explores how elevated green spaces enhance resilience and well-being in hyperdense cities. Using London case studies, it offers insights for designing sustainable, accessible, and inclusive urban spaces. Read more: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43621-024-00755-9
May oxylipins make bacteria be out of their tree? A controversial preprint that will not be published | Research Communities by Springer Nature
We found some bioinformatic evidence that lipoxygenase enzyme and oxylipin signalling might empower some bacteria to "jump" between plants and humans. To enforce our hypothesis, I undertook data research. Here, I explain why I have decided to keep it as a formally unpublished preprint.
Multi-platform observations and constraints reveal overlooked urban sources of black carbon in Xuzhou and Dhaka | Research Communities by Springer Nature
High-resolution observations and multi-waveband optical constraints from ground-based and satellite data in Xuzhou, China, and Dhaka, Bangladesh, reveal that urban riverbanks and small industrial sites are often overlooked sources of black carbon emissions in Asian cities.
Isolation of a planar π-aromatic Bi5– ring in a cobalt-based inverse sandwich-type complex | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Monocyclic aromatic molecules are well-known in organic chemistry and for coordination chemistry. In contrast, isoelectronic cycles comprising (semi)metal atoms only are much rarer. We present Bi5−, the so far elusive heaviest analogue of (C5H5)− which we trapped in an inverse-sandwich-type complex.
Galois' work beyond Galois theory on algebraic equations | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Galois is renowned for his Galois theory of algebraic equations, the creation of group theory, and the dramatic story of his testamentary letter before his fatal duel. Yet, he also outlined an extraordinary and influential theory of ambiguity that deserves attention.
Extreme heatwaves could intensify much more than expected with climate change | Research Communities by Springer Nature
It is known that heatwaves become more severe as the climate warms. But a new study led by the University of Graz now shows that the most extreme heat events may intensify much stronger than previously expected.
How I discovered your fingertips could detect cancer! | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This invited blog is based on the publication of our paper Russo, C., et al. Non-invasive screening of breast cancer from fingertip smears—a proof of concept study. Sci Rep 13, 1868 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-29036-7 in which was the 4th most downloaded cancer paper in 2023
The adequacy of science communication to the general public from an epistemological perspective | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This prospected research advances an internalist view on the concepts of scientific literacy and effectiveness of science communication to the general public, within an epistemological framework.
Evaluation of the Humoral Immune Response and Milk Antibody Transfer in Cattle vaccinated with inactivated H5 Avian Influenza vaccine | Research Communities by Springer Nature
The detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) in dairy cattle in the United States has raised concerns about human exposure.
The Psychology of Names: Can Brands Appeal to Our Subconscious Senses? | Research Communities by Springer Nature
What’s in a name? In today’s highly competitive business landscape, branding is becoming increasingly associated with building strong emotional connections between brands and their target audience. But can brand names really carry a subconscious advantage in driving consumer attention?
DLGAP5 enhances bladder cancer chemoresistance by regulating glycolysis through MYC stabilization | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Our study shows that DLGAP5 enhances gemcitabine resistance in bladder cancer by stabilizing MYC protein via USP11-mediated deubiquitination. This interaction boosts MYC-driven glycolysis, suggesting that targeting the DLGAP5-USP11-MYC axis could overcome resistance.
Isoxazole-based molecules restore NK cell immune surveillance in hepatocarcinogenesis by targeting TM4SF5 and SLAMF7 linkage | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This study has recently been accepted in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy. The study reveals a new immune checkpoint of NK cells functional in the livers, a TM4SF5 and SLAMF7 linkage, and TM4SF5-specific isoxazole-based small molecules inhibitory against the linkage.
The Genetic Puzzle of Silkie Chickens: An attempt at decoding the Z linked Id locus | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Black Bone Chickens (BBCs) are famous for their striking black skin, bones, and tissues, caused by a unique genetic trait. Our study focused on the Id locus, which inhibits pigmentation. Using public datasets, we discovered a rearrangement that explains BBCs unique features and their evolution.
Hidden dangers of exertional heat exposure | Research Communities by Springer Nature
As global temperatures rise, heat-related chronic health disorders are expected to increase. We asked if severe exertional heat stress induces long-term health effects in a mouse model. We found that after a 3 month recovery, mice developed obesity, cardiac hypertrophy and metabolic dysfunction.
