Anisotropic chemical bonding of lanthanide-OH molecules by Jacek Kłos, Eite Tiesinga, Lan Cheng, Svetlana Kotochigova

“…Analysis of the results from both methods shows that the dominant molecular configuration of the ground state is one where an electron from the partially filled and anisotropic 4f orbital of the lanthanide atom moves to the hydroxyl group, leaving the closed outer-most $$\hbox {6s}^2$$ lone electron pair of the lanthanide atom intact in sharp contrast to the bonding in alkaline-earth monohydroxides and YbOH, where an electron from the outer-most s shell moves to the hydroxyl group. …”

Bioenergetic programs of cancellous and cortical bone are distinct and differ with age and mechanical loading by Carolyn Chlebek, Tyler J. McNeill, Muyin Huang, Maia S. Raynor, Marjolein C. H. van der Meulen

“…To evaluate load-induced changes to bioenergetic activity in young and adult animals, we loaded the tibia of 10-wk and 26-wk female C57BL/6J mice and examined transcriptomic responses at the mid-diaphysis, and metaphyseal cortical shell and cancellous core. Across all biological processes, oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial pathways were most often enriched with loading and had contrasting enrichment in young and adult animals. …”
