Research on a new process of reconstituted landess goose steak by Saisai Zhang, Hanrui Wang, SiYuan Li, Junjie Zhang, Linwu Zhuang, Shengfu Li

“…Through single-factor and response surface tests, the optimal process parameters were determined as follows: a compound enzyme addition of 3.5 %, a tumbling time of 4 h, and a forming time of 10 h. Under these conditions, the bonding strength measured 34.950 g/cm2, and the reconstituted goose cutlet exhibited strong cohesion while maintaining its shape after frying.…”

Tissue shear as a cue for aligning planar polarity in the developing Drosophila wing by Su Ee Tan, David Strutt

“…Moreover, high tissue stress anisotropy can reduce the rate of accumulation and lower the stability on cell junctions of the core planar polarity protein Frizzled (Fz). Notably, under high tissue stress anisotropy, we see an increased gradient of cell flow, characterised by differential velocities across adjacent cell rows. …”

Sensorimotor environment but not task rule reconfigures population dynamics in rhesus monkey posterior parietal cortex by Hao Guo, Shenbing Kuang, Alexander Gail

“…We asked if the neural dynamics to support context-sensitive sensorimotor mapping generalizes or differs between different behavioral contexts that demand such flexibility. We compared reaching under mirror-reversed vision, a case of adaptation to a modified sensorimotor environment (SE), with anti reaching, a case of applying an abstract task rule (TR). …”

Deep eutectic solvent-based magnetic molecular nanomaterials coupled with fluorescent carbon dots as a new strategy to highly enrich and sensitively detect doxycycline in food matr... by Yanqiong Luo, Han Zhang, Jun Liu, Aleeza Jamil, Yujiao Hou, Qian Li, Min Zhao, Chunjie Zhao, Wenjing Li, Bo Hong

“…In this study, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were used as eco–friendly functional monomers, a magnetic molecular nanomaterial (DES–MMIP) coupled with carbon dots (CDs) was developed as a sensitive fluorescent probe for the selective enrichment and detection of trace amounts of doxycycline (DOX). Under optimal conditions, the method exhibited good linearity within 0.5–50 μg·L−1, a low detection limit of 0.34 nM for DOX detection. …”
