KGaA, Weinheim.Herein, it is discussed whether the complex biological concepts of (associative) learning can inspire responsive artificial materials. It is argued that classical conditioning, being one of the most elementary forms of learning, inspires algorithmic realizations in synthetic materials, to allow stimuli-responsive materials that…[Read more]

Additionally, mother’s education-infant health gradient is similar across black and white race groups.As a direct consequence of technological advancements, the interest in direct detection of low-gamma/low-sensitivity heteronuclei for NMR experiments has been revived. Until recently, experimental development of 13C/15N detected experiments has…[Read more]

OBJECTIVES To evaluate atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence and Sarcoplasmic Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA) levels in patients treated by epicardial thoracoscopic ablation for persistent AF. BACKGROUND Reduced levels of SERCA have been reported in the peripheral blood cells of patients with AF. We hypothesize that SERCA levels can…[Read more]

Treatment with BSJZF significantly reduced the area of the aortic plaque, decreased expression of TNF-a, IFN-r, and p62, and increased expression of IL-10, LC3, and Beclin 1.

Our findings suggest that BSJZF promotes autophagy and reduces inflammation by regulating the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3, Beclin 1, and p62, thereby…[Read more]

Background As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, understanding how patterns of human mobility and connectivity affect outbreak dynamics, especially before outbreaks establish locally, is critical for informing response efforts. In Taiwan, most cases to date were imported or linked to imported cases. Methods In collaboration with…[Read more]
