Novel β-TCP/PVA bilayered hydrogels with considerable physical and bio-functional properties for osteochondral repair by Yao, Hang, Kang, Junpei, Li, Weichang, Liu, Jian, Xie, Renjian, Wang, Yingjun, Liu, Sa, Wang, Dong-An, Ren, Li

“…A novel integrated bilayered hydrogel osteochondral replacement was constructed by blending polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in this study. Separated nano-ball milling with ultrasound dispersion prepared β-TCP demonstrated suitable properties of tiny particle size, high purity and ideal distribution, improving the mechanical properties of the novel integrated hydrogel, and providing a cartilage-like lubrication effect and high biocompatibility, including cytocompatibility and osteogenesis. …”

Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…However, such an assumption not only makes the robustness improvement more expensive, but may also leave a model less effective to other kinds of attacks in the wild. In contrast, we propose an adversary agnostic robust DRL paradigm that does not require learning from adversaries. …”

Multiplexed CRISPR/CAS9‐mediated engineering of pre‐clinical mouse models bearing native human B cell receptors by Wang, Xuesong, Ray, Rashmi, Kratochvil, Sven, Melzi, Eleonora, Lin, Ying‐Cing, Giguere, Sophie, Xu, Liling, Warner, John, Cheon, Diane, Liguori, Alessia, Groschel, Bettina, Phelps, Nicole

“…We demonstrate that B cells from these mice are fully functional: upon transfer to congenic, wild type mice at controlled frequencies, such B cells can be primed by eOD‐GT8 60mer, a germline‐targeting immunogen currently in clinical trials, recruited to germinal centers, secrete class‐switched antibodies, undergo somatic hypermutation, and differentiate into memory B cells. …”

Loss of NnT increases expression of oxidative phosphorylation complexes in C57BL/6J hearts by Williams, Jack L., Hall, Charlotte L., Meimaridou, Eirini, Metherell, Louise A.

“…Here, we compare the transcriptomes of the hearts, adrenals and testes from three mouse models: the C57BL/6N, which expresses NNT; the C57BL/6J, which lacks NNT; and a third mouse, expressing the wild-type NNT sequence on the C57BL/6J background. …”

Effects of clozapine-N-oxide and compound 21 on sleep in laboratory mice by Traut, J, Mengual, JP, Meijer, E, McKillop, L, Alfonsa, H, Hoerder-Suabedissen, A, Song, SH, Fehér, KD, Riemann, D, Molnar, Z, Akerman, CJ, Vyazovskiy, VV, Krone, LB

“…Here, we show that intraperitoneal injections of commonly used CNO doses (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg) alter sleep in wild-type male laboratory mice. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) to analyse sleep, we found a dose-dependent suppression of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, changes in EEG spectral power during non-REM (NREM) sleep, and altered sleep architecture in a pattern previously reported for clozapine. …”

Enhancing electrical and tribological properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix nanocomposite films by co-incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and silicon dioxide mic... by Khun, Nay Win, Loong, Poh Yueh, Liu, Erjia, Li, Lin

“…Although the friction of the nanocomposite films significantly increased with increased SiO2-MP content due to the promoted mechanical interlocking between the surface asperities of two mating surfaces, the wear of the nanocomposite films was much less severe than that of the PMMA film during ball-on-disc tribological tests.…”
