Biomechanical Implications of Spinopelvic Alignment on Femoral Head Cartilage and the Proximal Femoral Physis in Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis: A Theoretical Finite Element Analysis

This study uses finite element analysis to show that posterior pelvic tilt and high pelvic incidence increase shear stress on the growth plate, potentially causing slippage in slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

Exploring correlations in cultural and genetic variation across language families in Northeast Asia

The paper analyzes correlations between cultural and genetic variation across 11 language families in Northeast Asia, finding grammatical structure correlates with population history.

Liquid-liquid phase separation of full-length prion protein initiates conformational conversion in vitro

This study shows that liquid-liquid phase separation of rPrP initiates conformational conversion to PrP-res in vitro, with key roles for the N-terminal region and kosmotropic salts.

Structural basis for two-way communication between dynein and microtubules

This study investigates the structural basis of two-way communication between dynein and microtubules using NMR and cryo-EM, revealing conformational changes in the MTBD and their implications for dynein movement.
