Article Abstract
The two-color strong-field mixing in gas medium is a widely used approach to generate bright broadband terahertz (THz) radiation. Here, we present a new, to the best of our knowledge, and counterintuitive method to promote THz performance in the two-color scheme. Beyond our knowledge that the maximum THz generation occurs with two-color foci overlapped, we found that, when the foci of two-color beams are noticeably separated along the propagation axis resulting in cascading plasmas, the THz conversion efficiency is surged by one order of magnitude and the bandwidth is stretched by more than two times, achieving 10 conversion efficiency and >100 THz bandwidth under the condition of 800/400 nm, ∼35 fs driving lasers. With the help of the pulse propagation equation and photocurrent model, the observations can be partially understood by the compromise between THz generation and absorption due to the spatial redistribution of laser energy in cascading plasmas. The present method can be extended to a mid-infrared driving laser, and new records of THz peak power and conversion efficiency are expected.

GPCRs are known for their versatile signaling roles at the plasma membrane; however, recent studies have revealed that these receptors also function within various intracellular compartments, such as endosomes, the Golgi apparatus, and the endoplasmic reticulum. This spatially distinct signaling, termed location bias, allows GPCRs to initiate unique signaling cascades and influence cellular processes-including cAMP production, calcium mobilization, and protein phosphorylation-in a compartment-specific manner. By mapping the impact of GPCR signaling from these subcellular locations, this chapter emphasizes the mechanisms underlying signaling from intracellular receptor pools in diversifying receptor functionality.

The collisionless cross-field electron transport in an plasma configuration, representative of a Hall thruster, is studied using bispectral analysis on the data of a fully-kinetic simulation. The nonlinear, in-phase interaction of the oscillations of the azimuthal electric field and the electron density, both tied to the fundamental electron cyclotron drift instability (ECDI) mode, is found to be the main driver of electron transport. Higher-wavenumber ECDI modes do not drive anomalous transport directly; however, they are nonlinearly coupled with each other and with the fundamental ECDI mode.

Introduction: The increasing use of biodegradable plastics has led to the inevitable human consumption of biodegradable microplastics (MPs). These MPs can be degraded and absorbed into various organs and tissues via the gastrointestinal tract, with the liver being the primary target for digestion and absorption.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects and mechanisms of biodegradable MPs on the liver following gastrointestinal degradation.
Introduction: Major depressive disorder (MDD) represents a critical public health issue, impacting millions globally and significantly contributing to disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Major Depressive Episode (MDE) is a feature of MDD characterized by severe depressive symptoms. The role of glutamate, a primary excitatory neurotransmitter, in MDD has been extensively studied and several drugs improving MDE/MDD impact the glutamate cascade; however, findings regarding blood glutamate levels in patients with a current MDE in a context of MDD remain inconsistent.

In higher plants, stomatal movements represent a critical physiological process that matains cellular water homestasis while enabling photosynthetic gas exchange. Open stomata 1 (OST1), a key protein kinase in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling cascade, has been established as a central regulator of stomatal dynamics. This study reveals that two highly conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAP4K1) and MAP4K2 are positive regulators in ABA promoted stomatal closure, and ABA-activated OST1 potentiates MAP4K1/2 through phosphorylation at conserved serine and threonine residues (S166, T170, and S479/S488).
