Fe3O4@PLGA RBC-like MPs, with a red blood cell-like shape, were constructed and shown to significantly increase cell viability and growth indices in primary cultured cortical neurons when combined with magnetic field loading. Additionally, the protective effect of these magnetic particles and magnetic field loading was demonstrated in mice sciatic nerve injury.

Summary: This study investigates the diachronic semasiological variation of the Mandarin Chinese term 'hot' using a corpus-based behavioral profile approach. The findings demonstrate a dynamic behavioral profile with constantly shifting usage patterns and semasiological structural weight of senses. The study extends the traditional behavioral profile approach by applying multiple correspondence analysis, which effectively accounts for and visualizes the multifactorial nature of semasiological change. Additionally, the study complements the basic assumptions of usage-based cognitive semantics by highlighting the role of sociocultural factors in semasiological boundary variation of a lexical item.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of mechanical stretch on neuronal growth and the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that mechanical stretch promotes cell viability and guides neuronal migration towards the stretch direction. Furthermore, mechanical stretch led to decreased expression of repulsive cue Sema3A and increased expression of attractive molecule Netrin-1, which jointly promoted neurite outgrowth.

Summary: This study examines the diachronic change in the alternation between the ba and jiang constructions in Chinese. It finds that the usage of the ba-construction has increased over time, while the jiang-construction has decreased. The study also reveals that the preference for the jiang-construction in informal genres has reduced and disappeared in modern times. It further identifies both stable and fluid linguistic constraints that influence the choice between the two constructions.
