Social Strata Differentials in Reproductive Behavior among Agricultural Families in the Krummhörn Region (East Frisia, 1720-1874) by Kai P. Willführ, Charlotte Störmer

“…From 1820 onwards, high crop prices were associated with increased child (but not infant) mortality and with extended inter-birth intervals. We believe this period-sensitive response to changes in the crop price was the result of a social transition that took place during our study period, in which relations between the classes went from being based on communal “table fellowships” (Tischgemeinschaft) to being based on capitalist employer/employee arrangements.…”

Clinical Holistic Medicine: A Psychological Theory of Dependency to Improve Quality of Life by Søren Ventegodt, Mohammed Morad, Isack Kandel, Joav Merrick

“…If the patient can be guided into the hidden existential pain to feel, understand, and integrate it, we believe that dependency can be cured. The problem is that the patient must be highly motivated, sufficiently resourceful, and supported to want such a treatment that is inherently painful. …”

Regeneration of the Fibula with Unidirectional Porous Hydroxyapatite by Koji Demiya, Toshiyuki Kunisada, Eiji Nakata, Joe Hasei, Toshifumi Ozaki

“…A fibula graft is one of the most common orthopedic procedures for reconstruction of a bone defect, and some complications related to persistent defects of the fibula have been reported previously. We believe that regeneration of the fibula may be critical for postoperative function and prevention of complications. …”

A motion-responsive injectable lubricative hydrogel for efficient Achilles tendon adhesion prevention by Shujie Cheng, Jihong Yang, Jianguo Song, Xin Cao, Bowen Zhou, Lan Yang, Chong Li, Yi Wang

“…The animal experiments' results showed that ILH significantly prevented tendon adhesion and thus promote tendon healing by inhibiting TGFβ1-Smad2/3 pathway. We believe this work will open a new horizon for tendon adhesion-free repair.…”

Synthetic transmembrane DNA receptors enable engineered sensing and actuation by Ze-Rui Zhou, Man-Sha Wu, Zhenglin Yang, Yuting Wu, Weijie Guo, Da-Wei Li, Ruo-Can Qian, Yi Lu

“…Upon the input of external signals, the DNA receptors can form dimers on the cell surface triggered by configuration changes, leading to a series of downstream cascade events including communication between donor and recipient cells, gene transcription regulation, protein level control, and cell apoptosis. We believe this work establishes a flexible cell surface engineering strategy that is broadly applicable to implement sophisticated biological functions.…”

QD/SnO₂ Photoactivated Chemoresistive Sensor for Selective Detection of Primary Alcohols at Room Temperature by Maria Yu. Skrypnik, Vadim B. Platonov, Daria A. Kurtina, Oleg G. Sinyashin, Marina N. Rumyantseva, Roman B. Vasiliev

“…We demonstrated an efficient sensor response to C₁–C₄ primary alcohols of ppm concentration under photoexcitation with a yellow LED in the absence of a signal from other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We believe that proposed sensor concept opens up new ways to design photoactivated sensors without heating for the detection of VOCs.…”
