Article Abstract
Self-regenerating trigger waves can spread rapidly through the crowded cytoplasm without diminishing in amplitude or speed, providing consistent, reliable, long-range communication. The macromolecular concentration of the cytoplasm varies in response to physiological and environmental fluctuations, raising the question of how or if trigger waves can robustly operate in the face of such fluctuations. Using Xenopus extracts, we find that mitotic and apoptotic trigger wave speeds are remarkably invariant. We derive a model that accounts for this robustness and for the eventual slowing at extremely high and low cytoplasmic concentrations. The model implies that the positive and negative effects of cytoplasmic concentration (increased reactant concentration vs. increased viscosity) are nearly precisely balanced. Accordingly, artificially maintaining a constant cytoplasmic viscosity during dilution abrogates this robustness. The robustness in trigger wave speeds may contribute to the reliability of the extremely rapid embryonic cell cycle.

Myocarditis is a life-threatening inflammatory disorder that affects the cardiac muscle tissue. Current treatments merely regulate heart function but fail to tackle the root cause of inflammation. In myocarditis, the initial wave of inflammation is characterized by the presence of neutrophils.

The study addresses the critical issue of sepsis diagnosis, a life-threatening condition triggered by the body's immune response to infection that leads to mortality. Current diagnostic methods rely on the time-consuming assessment of multiple biomarkers by a series of tests, leading to delayed treatment. Here, we report a platform for developing a point-of-care (POC) device utilizing electrochemical immunosensors for the dual and rapid detection of sepsis biomarkers: Procalcitonin (PCT), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as host markers and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a pathogen marker.

Introduction: The local perception of a stimulus such as wounding can trigger plant-wide responses through the propagation of systemic signals including the vascular transport of diverse chemical messengers, the propagation of electrical changes, and even potentially hydraulic waves that rapidly spread throughout the plant body. These systemic signals trigger changes in second messengers such as Ca2+ that then play roles in triggering subsequent molecular responses. Although the glutamate receptor-like (GLR) channels GLR3.

In this paper, an event-triggered fuzzy control algorithm is proposed for the unmanned surface vessel (USV) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cooperative plant to achieve the high-precision landing mission. In the guidance module, an L virtual ship-L virtual aerial vehicle (LVS-LVA) guidance principle is developed to generate the reasonable reference signals for the USV-UAV plant under the landing mission. The proposed guidance principle incorporates a rolling kinematic compensation mechanism based on the 4-degree-of-freedom model of USV, specifically designed to counteract wave-induced rolling disturbances during UAV landing operations on unstable marine platforms.

Photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation (photo-CIDNP) is a nuclear spin-selective magnetic resonance phenomenon that has traditionally been used to mechanistically study chemical reactions involving the (transient) formation of radical molecular species, extract EPR observables of short-lived radicals, probe biomolecular structure and interactions and, less importantly, increase the sensitivity of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement. Recently, the introduction of significant methodological advances as well as the advent of benchtop NMR spectroscopy has rekindled interest in this technique, which-serendipitously discovered more than half a century ago-has, as of late, matured into a powerful, highly sensitive and extremely versatile NMR hyperpolarisation method. In this tutorial, aimed primarily at the nonexpert user, we provide practical information on how to plan, set up and perform one-dimensional H and heteronuclear photo-CIDNP NMR experiments using a high-field NMR spectrometer and a continuous-wave (CW) illuminant.
