Sep 11, 2020How Does Chronic Stress Induce Bone Loss?Researchers found that a central neural circuit from the forebrain to the hypothalamus mediates chronic stress-induced bone loss via the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. Clinical studies have found that bone mineral density in patients with anxiety or depression is lower than in ordinary people.The brain, commander of the body, receives and processes external signa... -
Sep 09, 2020Scientists Propose Ultrahigh-Fraction Active Anode for Sodium Dual-Ion BatteriesResearchers proposed a molecular grafting strategy to one-step in-situ synthesize a composite anode (SnP2O7@N-C) with ultrahigh-fraction active material for Na-DIBs. Sodium-based dual-ion batteries (Na-DIBs) present great potentials for large-scale energy storage applications for the merits of high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness.However, t... -
Aug 28, 2020Round Nanoparticles Improve Quality Factors of Surface Lattice Resonances: StudyThe researchers has found that nanohemisphere arrays can significantly improve the quality factors of SLRs. Plasmonic surface lattice resonances (SLRs) supported by metal nanoparticle arrays have many merits such as strong field enhancements extended over large volumes, as well as long lifetimes, narrow ... -
Aug 26, 2020Scientists Propose Self-Forming Multichannel Nerve Guidance Conduit for Peripheral Nerve RegenerationResearchers fabricated a self-forming multichannel nerve guidance conduit, which was based on a degradable shape memory polymer, and realized the rapid self-forming of multichannel conduit by using... Repairing peripheral nerve injury, especially long-range defects of thick nerves, is a great challenge in the clinic due to their limited regeneration capability.Nerve guidance conduits with multic... -
Aug 17, 2020Researchers Propose Novel Needle Deflection Modeling and Preoperative Trajectory Planning for Insertion into Multilayered TissuesResearchers proposed a preoperative needle insertion trajectory planning method that includes needle deflection modeling, insertion angle correction and needle trajectory optimization. Percutaneous needle insertion is a widely used technique in needle-based interventions such as biopsy and ablation. However, it is difficult to achieve high targeting accuracy due to needle deflect... -
Aug 14, 2020Scientists Prove SARS-CoV-2 Potential to Infect Human Brain OrganoidsResearchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) showed that SARS-CoV-2 can i... SARS-CoV-2 can infect human neural progenitor cells and brain organoids, as shown by researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and th... -
Aug 11, 2020Scientists Propose a Parallel Coupled Cell-Centered Finite Volume Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method on Unstructured GridsThis study was published in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which originated from lattice gas automata (LGA), has become an effective and attractive numerical scheme in computational fluid dynamics (CFD).The conventional ... -
Aug 10, 2020Scientists Develop Biomimetic Nanoprobes to Image Brain TumorsThe study was published in Advanced Functional Materials. Glioma is the most malignant tumor of the central nervous system. The diagnosis and treatment of glioma are great challenges due to the presence of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and the complex bra...
