Fourier shape parameterization in covariant density functional theory for nuclear fission by Zeyu Li, Yang Su, Lile Liu, Yongjing Chen, Zhipan Li

“…We implement the Fourier shape parameterization within the point-coupling covariant density functional theory to construct the collective space, potential energy surface (PES), and mass tensor, which serve as inputs for the time-dependent generator coordinate method to simulate the fission dynamics. …”

Human adipose depots’ diverse functions and dysregulations during cardiometabolic disease by Andreas Kraag Ziegler, Camilla Scheele

“…Abstract Adipose tissue depots develop specific functions in a location dependent manner. In humans, this for example includes thermogenic capacity in the brown adipose supraclavicular, deep neck and perirenal depots, healthy lipid storage primarily in the gluteofemoral subcutaneous depot, and immunogenic support in the visceral omental depot. …”

Choline in immunity: a key regulator of immune cell activation and function by Catarina Maia, Chin Wai Fung, Elsa Sanchez-Lopez

“…Nutrient availability is a strong determinant of cell function. Immune cells, which must rapidly activate transcriptional, proteomic, and metabolic programs to fulfill their functional roles, depend on nutrient supply to generate the building blocks needed for the production of immune effectors. …”
