The Influence of Executive Functioning on Facial and Subjective Pain Responses in Older Adults by Joukje M. Oosterman, Juliane Traxler, Miriam Kunz

“…Although facial expressions of pain are generally considered to be less affected by this decline, empirical support for this assumption is sparse. The present study therefore examined how cognitive functioning relates to facial expressions of pain and whether cognition acts as a moderator between nociceptive intensity and facial reactivity. …”

Double-spiral as a bio-inspired functional element in engineering design by Mohsen Jafarpour, Mohammad Aryayi, Stanislav N. Gorb, Hamed Rajabi

“…Double-spiral is a design derived from spirals, which has been previously presented and utilized as a compliant joint. Advantageous properties of double-spirals, such as easily adjustable design, multiple degrees of freedom, reversible extensibility, and tunable deformability make them promising candidates for the development of mechanically intelligent structures that exhibit unique behavior and reach desired functions, such as soft grippers, continuum manipulators, energy-dissipative structures, and foldable metamaterials. …”

Copper ions inhibit pentose phosphate pathway function in Staphylococcus aureus. by Javiera Norambuena, Hassan Al-Tameemi, Hannah Bovermann, Jisun Kim, William N Beavers, Eric P Skaar, Dane Parker, Jeffrey M Boyd

“…Lastly, we establish that S. aureus that lacks the ability to remove Cu ions from the cytosol is defective in colonizing the airway in a murine model of acute pneumonia, as well as the skin. The data presented are consistent with a model wherein Cu ions inhibits pentose phosphate pathway function and are used by the immune system to prevent S. aureus infections.…”
