Abstract Reliable and accurate physiological mechanosensing requires tactile sensors that maintain linearity across ultrawide ranges, yet most reported devices saturate below 500 kPa due to strain hardening and deformation saturation of elastic microstructures. Balancing this lon...

TNF-α-responsive YAP1 promotes CCL20 expression in colorectal inflammation and cancer
Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) exemplifies how chronic intestinal inflammation can be converted into sustained epithelial programs and a permissive tumor microenvironment, yet the molecular linkage between inflammatory cytokine cues and chemokine outputs remains incom...

Beyond Balance: An Ethnography of Validity and Engagement in Citizen Science Practice
Citizen science (CS) is often characterized as involving inherent trade-offs between scientific validity and public engagement. While existing literature has documented these competing imperatives, less is known about the concrete organizational mechanisms that enable their coexi...

The relationship between language prediction and action prediction in toddlers and adults
Prediction plays a key role in both action processing and language comprehension, yet it remains unclear whether individual differences in action prediction are related to individual differences in language prediction. Using eye-tracking, we examined predictive looking behaviour...

Background: Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) are both complex, often debilitating conditions that frequently affect young women and involve high symptom burdens and psychiatric comorbidity. Although clinical overlap betwe...

Background: Nose-to-brain delivery offers a noninvasive route to bypass the blood–brain barrier for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. AmyP53 is a first-in-class adaptive 12-mer peptide that prevents the formation of neurotoxic amyloid oligomers by competitively targeti...

Breakloose Suppression in Minimal Friction Models
Abstract Breakloose friction—the transient friction force peak at the onset of sliding—is often pronounced in nanoscale contacts but weak or absent in macroscopic systems. This behavior is commonly associated with rupture fronts and process-zone effects. However, the mechanisms b...

Sulfonic Acid Side-Chain-Engineered Poly(terphenylacetylpyridine)Membranes for HT-PEMFC Applications
Abstract High-temperature proton-exchange membranes (HT-PEMs) are key components for HT-PEM fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs), owing to their ability to enable efficient proton transport under anhydrous operating conditions. Although phosphoric acid (PA)-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membra...
