Cracking the enigma of mitochondrial-DNA variants and cancer.
Wei Wei, Patrick F Chinnery
Feb 12, 2020
A recent study by Yuan et al., [Ref. 11] published in Nature Genetics, demonstrated multidimensional molecular alterations of mitochondrial DNA in human cancers and provide an on-line catalogue of mitochondrial genomes in many...

MEMS ultrasonic transducers for safe, low-power and portable eye-blinking monitoring.
Eye blinking is closely related to human physiology and psychology. It is an effective method of communication among people and can be used in human-machine interactions. Existing blink monitoring methods include...

Optimisation for interconnected energy hub system with combined ground source heat pump and borehole thermal storage
Da Huo, Wei Wei, Simon Le Blond
Dec 01, 2018
Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) give zero-carbon emission heating at a residential level. However, as the heat is discharged, the temperature of the ground drops, leading to a poorer efficiency. Borehole inter-seasonal thermal...

Cell reprogramming shapes the mitochondrial DNA landscape.
Individual induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) show considerable phenotypic heterogeneity, but the reasons for this are not fully understood. Comprehensively analysing the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in 146 iPSC and...

Biparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA revisited.
Evidence for a biparental mode of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance has been sparse and remains controversial. Recent studies using a range of complementary techniques do not support paternal transmission of mtDNA, and...

Water Resources Assessment and Management for Nuclear Power Plants in China
To deal with global warming and energy shortage, nuclear power plants are constructed or planning to be constructed in China presently. The operation of a nuclear power plant consumes a great amount of water and discharges a lot...

Reprocessable Thermoset Soft Actuators.
Widely used traditional thermosets are good candidates for construction of 3D soft actuators because of their excellent stability; however, it is generally acknowledged that they cannot be reprocessed. The time-temperature...

Quantifying wind-induced impacts on particulate Cu footprint in the Yangtze Estuary.
Under two wind conditions, a polar coordinated segmented quantification method (PCSQM) taking the easternmost point of Chongming Island (121°59'20″E, 31°29'38″N) as the origin of the coordinate was proposed to quantify...

Demonstration of broad photonic crystal stop band in a freely-suspended microfiber perforated by an array of rectangular holes
It is shown that photonic crystal (PhC) optical reflectors with reflectance in excess of 60% and fractional bandwidths greater than 10% can be fabricated by ion beam milling of fewer than ten periods of rectangular cross section...

Background sequence characteristics influence the occurrence and severity of disease-causing mtDNA mutations.
Inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have emerged as a common cause of human disease, with mutations occurring multiple times in the world population. The clinical presentation of three pathogenic mtDNA mutations is...

Strategy of Electrolyte Design
The zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are regarded as the most potential energy storage device for the next generation. However, the zinc anode passivation and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline electrolyte situations inhibit...
