Transverse optical gradient force in untethered rotating metaspinners by Einstom Engay, Mahdi Shanei, Vasilii Mylnikov, Gan Wang, Peter Johansson, Giovanni Volpe, Mikael Käll

“…We find that a metaspinner is subject to an anomalous transverse lateral optical gradient force that acts in concert with the classical gradient force. Consequently, when two or more metaspinners are trapped together in a laser beam, they collectively orbit the optical axis in the opposite direction to their spinning motion, in stark contrast to rotors coupled through hydrodynamic or mechanical interactions. …”

The zebrafish moonshine gene encodes transcriptional intermediary factor 1gamma, an essential regulator of hematopoiesis. by David G Ransom, Nathan Bahary, Knut Niss, David Traver, Caroline Burns, Nikolaus S Trede, Noelle Paffett-Lugassy, Walter J Saganic, C Anthoney Lim, Candace Hersey, Yi Zhou, Bruce A Barut, Shuo Lin, Paul D Kingsley, James Palis, Stuart H Orkin, Leonard I Zon

“…Hematopoiesis is precisely orchestrated by lineage-specific DNA-binding proteins that regulate transcription in concert with coactivators and corepressors. Mutations in the zebrafish moonshine (mon) gene specifically disrupt both embryonic and adult hematopoiesis, resulting in severe red blood cell aplasia. …”

Developing human upper, lower, and deep lung airway models: Combining different scaffolds and developing complex co-cultures by Rasika S Murkar, Cornelia Wiese-Rischke, Tobias Weigel, Sascha Kopp, Heike Walles

“…Meanwhile standard electrospun polymer membrane (50–60 µm thick), which possesses a considerably low modulus of elasticity, offered higher flexibility and supported co-cultures of primary alveolar epithelial (huAEC) and endothelial cells (hEC) in concert with lung biopsy-derived fibroblasts which enhanced maturation of the tissue model. …”

Direct imaging of exoplanets: Legacy and prospects by Chauvin, Gael

“…In that perspective, direct imaging from ground-based observatories or in space is playing a central role in concert with other observing techniques. In this paper, I will briefly review the genesis of this observing technique, the main instrumental innovation and challenges, stellar targets and surveys, to then present the main results obtained so far about the physics and the mechanisms of formation and evolution of young giant planets and planetary system architectures. …”

Dual Roles of IL-27 in Cancer Biology and Immunotherapy by Marina Fabbi, Grazia Carbotti, Silvano Ferrini

“…IL-27 was initially reported as an immune-enhancing cytokine that supports CD4+ T cell proliferation, T helper (Th)1 cell differentiation, and IFN-γ production, acting in concert with IL-12. However, subsequent studies demonstrated that IL-27 displays complex immune-regulatory functions, which may result in either proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects in relationship to the biological context and experimental models considered. …”

Comparison of Atrial Fibrillation in the Young versus That in the Elderly: A Review by Rajiv Sankaranarayanan, Graeme Kirkwood, Katharine Dibb, Clifford J. Garratt

“…Traditional thinking suggests that the causal factors and pathogenesis of the condition in the young with structurally normal atria but electrophysiological “triggers” in the form of pulmonary vein ectopics leading to lone AF are in stark contrast to that in the elderly who have AF primarily due to an abnormal substrate consisting of fibrosed and dilated atria acting in concert with the pulmonary vein triggers. However, there can be exceptions to this rule as there is increasing evidence of structural and electrophysiological abnormalities in the atrial substrate in young patients with “lone AF,” as well as elderly patients who present with idiopathic AF. …”
