Article Abstract
We demonstrate that a defect unit in periodic textured closed surfaces is able to trap spoof surface plasmons (SPs) into a deep subwavelength scale. The resonant frequency of a trapped spoof SP can be tuned freely by properly tailoring the dimension of the defect unit. By introducing multiple defect units with different dimensions at different positions of the textured closed surfaces, the spoof SPs with different frequencies trapped effectively at desired places are also demonstrated. In addition, we further design a graded defect structure with continuously variable dimensions to trap the spoof SPs over an ultrawide spectral band. The interval between the trapped waves on the closed surfaces can be tuned conveniently by changing the grade of the defect dimensions. The designer structures may indicate potential applications in the optical switch and storage in the microwave and terahertz frequencies.

Multivalent protein-protein interactions play essential roles in mediating liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) that drives biomolecular condensate formation. Here, we systematically investigate how the spatial distribution and relative size of protein binding domains (PBDs) would influence LLPS in a mixture of spherical proteins and RNA single strands by using a patchy-particle polymer model, wherein each protein contains a fixed number of PBDs on the surface distributed closely or sparsely. Intriguingly, we find that LLPS behavior exhibits a nontrivial dependence on the cooperative interplay between PBD distribution and protein size: while sparsely distributed PBDs are more favorable to LLPS for small proteins, closely packed PBDs facilitate LLPS for larger counterparts.

The interstellar medium (ISM) is a complex and dynamic environment in which molecular collisions play a crucial role. Among these, protonated carbon chains are of great interest due to the presence of a permanent dipole moment and their relevance in describing astrochemical processes, making their detection possible in cold molecular clouds such as TMC-1. C5H+ (1Σg+) is an important molecule for understanding the formation and evolution of carbon-rich environments.

Background: Hemi-hamate osteochondral grafting is a surgical technique that is utilized to reconstruct the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint in cases of unstable dorsal fracture-dislocation with >50% articular surface involvement. However, hemi-hamate osteochondral grafting can be technically challenging, has been reported to have various technical modifications, and can lead to complications such as overstuffing of the joint. This surgical technique article describes successful PIP joint reconstruction with use of a hemi-capitate osteochondral graft, which may offer a viable alternative to hemi-hamate osteochondral graft.

Particles with some degree of hydrophilicity are known to aggregate when directly dispersed in non-aqueous media. Proteins are generally insoluble in oil and have complex surface properties, but they may form networks in oil like more simple colloidal particles, depending on particle size and surface hydrophilicity. Here, the particle size of pea protein isolate (PPI) particles in oil was reduced to submicron sizes by stirred media milling.

Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases globally, characterised by the accumulation of lipids and cholesterol in arterial walls, causing vascular narrowing and sclerosis along with chronic inflammation; this leads to increased risk of heart disease and stroke, significantly impacting patients' health. Danxia Tiaoban Decoction (DXTB), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has demonstrated positive clinical effects in treating AS; however, its mechanisms of action remain unclear.
Objective: To explore the potential mechanisms of action of DXTB in treating AS through multi-omics integration and experimental validation.
