Annealing dynamics of regular rotor networks: Universality and its breakdown by András Grabarits, Gaetano Sammartino, Adolfo del Campo

“…We investigate the SVL annealing dynamics of classical O(2) rotors on regular graphs, identifying universal features in the nonequilibrium dynamics when changing the range of interactions and the topology of the graph. Regular graphs with low connectance or edge density exhibit universal scaling dynamics consistent with the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, which leads to a power-law dependence of the density of defects and the residual energy as a function of the annealing time. …”

Alpha-synuclein pathology enhances peripheral and CNS immune responses to bacterial endotoxins by Anna-Sophia Hartke, Cara S. Schreiber, Kristina Lau, Ivo Wiesweg, Inken Waltl, Ulrich Kalinke, Franziska Richter, Christopher Käufer

“…Increasing evidence points to infectious diseases as contributor to the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD), probably driven by a peripheral and CNS inflammatory response together with alpha-synuclein (aSyn) pathology. Pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin is suggested as a risk factor, and LPS shedding gram-negative bacteria are more prevalent in the gut-microbiome of PD patients. …”
