Article Abstract
Human spatial memory research has significantly progressed since the development of computerized tasks, with many studies examining sex-related performances. However, few studies explore the underlying electrophysiological correlates according to sex. In this study event-related potentials were compared between male and female participants during the performance of an allocentric spatial recognition task. Twenty-nine university students took part in the research. Results showed that while general performance was similar in both sexes, the brain of males and females displayed a differential activation. Males showed increased N200 modulation than females in the three phases of memory process (encoding, maintenance, and retrieval). Meanwhile females showed increased activation of P300 in the three phases of memory process compared to males. In addition, females exhibited more negative slow wave (NSW) activity during the encoding phase. These differences are discussed in terms of attentional control and the allocation of attentional resources during spatial processing. Our findings demonstrate that sex modulates the resources recruited to performed this spatial task.

Licochalcone A (LCA), a natural flavonoid with potent anti-inflammatory properties, has shown promise as a neuroprotective agent. However, its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exert central effects remains underexplored. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that LCA enhances cognitive function in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammatory mouse model and effectively penetrates the BBB.

Natural polyreactive antibodies achieve enhanced avidity through heterogeneous ligand binding. However, engineering synthetic heteroligation systems with precise control over recognition motif orientation and distance remains challenging. Here, a DNA framework-based strategy is presented to program heterotypic binding by spatially organizing bivalent aptamers targeting platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB).

B cells are critical components of the adaptive immune system that proliferate and differentiate within the secondary lymphoid organs upon recognition of antigens and engagement of T cells. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures fall short of replicating the intricate structures and dynamic evolution of three-dimensional (3D) environments found in lymphoid organs, prompting the development of more physiologically pertinent models. Our approach employs -hexanoyl glycol chitosan (HGC) coated ultra-low attachment (ULA) lattice plates to cultivate a 3D co-culture of CD40L-expressing MS5 stromal cells and naïve B cells derived from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy human donors.

Deciphering the multicomponent of cell membranes at the single-cell level is critical for understanding pathological mechanisms such as tumor metastasis, yet remains technically daunting due to the membrane's nanoscale thickness and ultralow molecular abundance. Here, we introduce a surface-assisted vacuum ultraviolet laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry imaging (SAVUVDI-MSI) platform that overcomes long-standing challenges of cytoplasmic interference and insufficient sensitivity. Leveraging the nanoscale depth profiling capability of VUV-LDI, we achieve precise ablation of a single-cell membrane.

3D shape defect detection plays an important role in autonomous industrial inspection. However, accurate detection of anomalies remains challenging due to the complexity of multimodal sensor data, especially when both color and structural information are required. In this work, we propose a lightweight inter-modality feature prediction framework that effectively utilizes multimodal fused features from the inputs of RGB, depth and point clouds for efficient 3D shape defect detection.
