Three-dimensional mapping of the altermagnetic spin splitting in CrSb by Guowei Yang, Zhanghuan Li, Sai Yang, Jiyuan Li, Hao Zheng, Weifan Zhu, Ze Pan, Yifu Xu, Saizheng Cao, Wenxuan Zhao, Anupam Jana, Jiawen Zhang, Mao Ye, Yu Song, Lun-Hui Hu, Lexian Yang, Jun Fujii, Ivana Vobornik, Ming Shi, Huiqiu Yuan, Yongjun Zhang, Yuanfeng Xu, Yang Liu

“…Tight-binding model analysis indicates that the large altermagnetic splitting arises from strong third-nearest-neighbor hopping mediated by Sb ions. The large band/spin splitting near Fermi level in metallic CrSb, together with its high T N (up to 705 K) and simple spin configuration, paves the way for exploring emergent phenomena and spintronic applications based on altermagnets.…”

Skeletal muscle stem cells modulate niche function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy mouse through YY1-CCL5 axis by Yang Li, Chuhan Li, Qiang Sun, Xingyuan Liu, Fengyuan Chen, Yeelo Cheung, Yu Zhao, Ting Xie, Bénédicte Chazaud, Hao Sun, Huating Wang

“…Augmented CCL5 secretion promotes MP recruitment via CCL5/C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) crosstalk, which subsequently hinders FAP clearance through elevated Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1). Maraviroc-mediated pharmacological blockade of the CCL5/CCR5 axis effectively mitigates muscle dystrophy and improves muscle performance. …”
