Voltage-sensor conformational microenvironments encode isoform-selective ion channel activation
Isoform-selective opening of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels is desirable for its therapeutic potential yet mechanistically little-understood. Rosemary leaf metabolite carnosic acid (CA) is a high-efficacy opener of the neuronal Kv7.3 channel but exerts minimal effects on K...

Promotion of long-term health in early life
Noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are on the rise in high-income countries, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality and contributing to increased resource demands and healthcare costs. Early-life exposures can initiate trajectories that culminate in NCDs later in lif...
- AI & ComputingOpen access
Power analysis is crucial in modern chip design flow. Particularly, the time-based power analysis can provide fine-grained power consumption information to facilitate the diagnosis of power issues and guide power optimization accordingly. However, it may take tens of hours to con...

Effects of Desert Sands on the Fresh and Hardened Properties of Cement-Based Materials
Abstract The use of desert sands as an alternative to river sand in concrete may be limited by the presence of internally sourced sulfate and chloride ions, which may affect hydration and long-term performance. This study investigates the influence of naturally contaminated deser...
