Nanomechanical mapping is essential as the mechanical properties of whole living cells are closely linked to pathological and physiological processes.

In a recent study published in the open-access journal Science Reports, researchers analyzed the effect of twist angle on optical and electrical properties of twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG). They fabricated in situ tBLG with twist angles that can be continuously tuned over a wide range with high precision. This finding opens a new path for the applicability of twistronic devices.

Financial crisis, rooted in a lack of system resilience and robustness, is a particular type of critical transition that may cause grievous economic and social losses and should be warned against as early as possible. Regarding the financial system as a time-varying network, researchers have identified early warning signals from the changing dynamics of network motifs. In addition, network motifs have many different morphologies that unveil high-order correlation patterns of a financial system, whose synchronous change represents the dramatic shift in the financial system’s functionality and...

Buruli ulcer (BU), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is a devastating necrotizing skin disease. Key to its pathogenesis is mycolactone, the exotoxin virulence factor that is both immunosuppressive and cytotoxic. The discovery that the essential Sec61 translocon is the major cellular target of mycolactone explains much of the disease pathology, including the immune blockade. Sec61 inhibition leads to a loss in production of nearly all cytokines from monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and T cells, as well as antigen presentation pathway proteins and costimulatory molecules. However, there h...
