Abstract: This article proposes an inverse design method based on numerical Green’s function (NGF-IDM) to achieve the intelligent and efficient design of waveguide devices. Inspired by the metal ...

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in muscle mass and fatty tissue. This cancer-induced cachexia (CIC) is ...

If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome, of our neural ...

Muscle function and composition are important indicators of age-related health. However, current assessment methods are often complex and expensive, making the early detection of related problems ...

The role of the lymphatic system is to remove extra fluid from tissues and to carry antigens to lymph nodes to generate an immune response when needed. The network of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes ...

Cell biology is a world of constant motion and hidden structures. Much of what we know about cells comes from decades of research using microscopes, stains, and models. Yet, even in this well-charted ...

Organs are not molded like blobs of passive clay. They rise from busy landscapes where cells crawl, tug, and signal until form emerges. In new work with the humble fruit fly, researchers watched ...

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research. An often-ignored type of cell in the brain ...

It is well established that cellulose synthesis in higher plants requires three different but related cellulose synthase (CESA) isoforms. Here the authors provide convincing biochemical and cryo ...
