Editor’s summaryWet dog shakes (WDS) define a widespread behavior in hairy animals that is used to remove water and irritants from hairy skin. However, the mechanism triggering WDS remains to be fully elucidated. Using optogenetics and behavioral protocols, Zhang et al. showed in mice that WDS are triggered by Piezo2-mediated activation of unmyelinated C-fiber low-threshold mechanoreceptors synaptically coupled with spinoparabrachial neurons.

AbstractWestern criminological literature continues to focus on the binary control system (formal vs. informal), while China has long employed the trinary system (formal, semiformal, and informal) in its construction of social control. China scholars have investigated the prevalence and importance of the trinary control system as a key to understanding social control. However, there is a lack of research on their predictors.

AbstractThe control of a molecule’s geometry, chirality, and physical properties has long been a challenging pursuit. Our study introduces a dependable method for assembling D3-symmetric trigonal bipyramidal coordination cages. Specifically, D2h-symmetric anions, like oxalate and chloranilic anions, self-organize around a metal ion to form chiral-at-metal anionic complexes, which template the formation of D3-symmetric trigonal bipyramidal coordination cages.

Background: This study investigated the influence of ADRB1 gene rs1801253 polymorphism on the treatment response of ticagrelor and aspirin in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Genetic typing was detected by Sanger sequencing. Platelet inhibition was assessed using thromboelastography. Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression were applied for prognosis analysis. Results: Out of 200 participants, 94 cases with rs1801253-CC genotype and 106 cases with CG+GG genotype were found.
