During pregnancy, the placenta is a site of active oxygen metabolism that continuously
generates oxidative stress ( OS ). Overproduction of reactive oxygen species and reactive …

During pregnancy, development of the placenta is interrelated with the oxygen concentration.
Embryo development takes place in a low oxygen environment until the beginning of the …

Innate immune responses depend on timely recognition of pathogenic or danger signals by
multiple cell surface or cytoplasmic receptors and transmission of signals for proper …

As organelles of the innate immune system, inflammasomes activate caspase-1 and other
inflammatory caspases that cleave gasdermin D (GSDMD). Caspase-1 also cleaves inactive …

Direct electrical recording and stimulation of neural activity using micro-fabricated silicon
and metal micro-wire probes have contributed extensively to basic neuroscience and …

INTRODUCTION The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the molecular conduit in the nuclear
membrane of eukaryotic cells that regulates import and export of biomolecules between the …

As an important application of functional biomaterials, neural probes have contributed
substantially to studying the brain. Bioinspired and biomimetic strategies have begun to be …

Stable in vivo mapping and modulation of the same neurons and brain circuits over extended
periods is critical to both neuroscience and medicine. Current electrical implants offer …

NLRP6 is important in host defense by inducing functional outcomes including inflammasome
activation and interferon production. Here, we show that NLRP6 undergoes liquid-liquid …

Transistor-based nanoelectronic sensors are capable of label-free real-time chemical and
biological detection with high sensitivity and spatial resolution, although the short Debye …
