Revisiting the Poor Man’s Majoranas: the spin–exchange induced spillover effect

This just in: using “Poor man’s Majoranas” as quantum spin probes could open a new frontier for #

Quantumscience! By harnessing the sensitivity of these systems, scientists have taken what was once considered a defect into a promising feature that enables them to function as precise quantum spin sensors ⚛️. Explore what this means for the future of quantumphysics here.

Oxytocin signaling in adipocytes is required for normal milk fat production

Online now: Li et al. show that sympathetic-derived oxytocin drives adipose lipolysis to supply triglycerides essential for neonatal growth during lactation. Adipocyte-specific oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) deletion impairs milk lipid content and offspring growth, revealing a new link between maternal oxytocin signaling in adipocytes, mammary metabolism, and neonatal nutrition.
