Advances in Metabolic Mechanisms of Aging and Its Related Diseases
Aging is a dynamic and irreversible physiological process, which leads to the progressive decline of biological functions involving all tissues and organs, due to a variety of endogenous and environmental factors. Metabolic changes are some of the hallmarks of aging and the alteration of metabolic pathways may accelerate the process and the onset of age-related diseases.

Advances in Memristor Neural Networks
With the end of Moore’s law in sight, new computing paradigms are needed to fulfill the increasing demands on data and processing potentials. Inspired by the operation of the human brain, from the dimensionality, energy and underlying functionalities, neuromorphic computing systems that are building upon circuit elements to mimic the neurobiological activities are good concepts to meet th…

Advances in Membrane Technologies
The global agricultural sector consumes a large amount of fresh water for irrigation. Less than half of agricultural wastewater is properly treated before discharging to environment or recycling. Treatment of agricultural wastewater for reuse in irrigation can alleviate burden on water resources as well as protect the environment from detrimental effects caused by various organics, pesticide…

Advances in Mechatronics and Biomechanics towards Efficient Robot Actuation
iological systems such as animals and humans can be energetically autonomous for several days and some species endure even longer. Today's robotic systems aim to match the physical capabilities of their biological counterparts in terms of strength, agility, and dexterity, yet fail to display untethered operating times any longer than few hours.

Advances in Mechanisms of Renal Fibrosis
Scarring of the glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments is a hallmark of progressive kidney disease and is considered a common pathway leading to end-stage of renal failure. Renal fibrosis involves a complex interplay between intrinsic kidney cells, leukocytes, and fibroblasts in which transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays a key role. Inhibition of TGF-β1 suppresses renal fib…

Advances in mechanical weed control technologies
Mechanical weed control (MWC) for agricultural and horticultural crops encompasses various belowground soil cultivation techniques and aboveground cutting, mowing and weeding tactics. Mowing disrupts aboveground vegetation, immediately eliminates weed competition and hinders the shedding of weed seeds
