Imaging of a van der Waals spin-orbit torque system using spin ensembles in hBN

Recently field-free spin-orbit torque switching has been demonstrated in van der Waals magnetic materials. Here, taking advantage of the quantum sensing properties of spin defects in hexagonal Boron Nitride, Zhang, Zhou, and coauthors image the current-induced spin-orbit torque switching in the van der Waals magnet, Fe3GaTe2

Charting brain morphology in international healthy and neurological populations

Liu et al. report Chinese normative lifespan brain charts showing later neurodevelopmental milestones than those detected in Western cohorts. Individual deviations from these norms are valuable in assessing clinical risk and outcomes.

Effect of high-dose N-acetylcysteine on exacerbations and lung function in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD: a double-blind, parallel group, multicentre randomised clinical trial

Evidence for the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate COPD is limited. Here, the authors show that long-term treatment with high-dose N-acetylcysteine neither significantly reduced the annual rate of total exacerbations nor improve lung function in patients with mild-tomoderate COPD.

Structural identification of lysophosphatidylcholines as activating ligands for orphan receptor GPR119

The cryo-EM structures reveal orphan receptor GPR119 as the receptor for LPC. The structures with biochemical and functional data highlight evidence for LPC function in glucose regulation, and provide templates for drug design targeting GPR119.

Selective regulation of macrophage lipid metabolism via nanomaterials’ surface chemistry

There is a need to understand how nanomaterials interact with biological systems. Here, the authors report the surface chemistry of graphene oxide nanosheets (GOs) influences the structure of low-density lipoprotein and changes lipid metabolism pathways including LDL recognition, uptake, hydrolysis, efflux, and lipid droplet formation.

Anisotropic flexibility and rigidification in a TPE-based Zr-MOFs with scu topology

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with adjustable porosity and tunable functionality have attracted considerable attention, but the directional control of intermolecular and intramolecular motion of TPE-based ligands in the non-interpenetrated flexible MOFs has not yet been studied. Here, the authors report a non-interpenetrated tetraphenylethylene-based MOF with anisotropic flexibility.

A study of the associations between social isolation and loneliness with sex-specific cancer risk in the UK Biobank

Cheng, Wang, Feng et al. analyze over 350,000 UK Biobank participants to investigate the associations of social isolation and loneliness with cancer incidence. They find that social isolation, but not loneliness, is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer, with stronger effects observed in female and specific cancer types.

Reprogramming the GRHL2−CDK19 axis by gene therapy alleviates prostate aging

The prostate is an important part of the male reproductive system whose aging process is incompletely understood. Sun et al. identify GRHL2 downregulation as a driver of prostate aging. They show that GRHL2 transactivates CDK19 to inhibit p53−p21 signaling and demonstrate that GRHL2 gene therapy alleviates age-related urinary dysfunction in mice.
