Adding epistemic influence to task-based AI disclosure

Dear EditorCleland and colleagues provide a practical AMEE Guide on disclosure of artificial intelligence (AI) use in academic publishing [1]. Rikers subsequently argued that the Guide’s threshold ...

Fucoidan from Fucus Vesiculosus Alleviates Interstitial Cystitis by Suppressing the AKT/NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis

Background/Objectives: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic inflammatory bladder disorder that lacks an effective treatment agent. Fucoidan (FUC), isolated from Fucus vesiculosus, is a sulfated polysaccharide that exhibits potent anti-inflammatory and...

Phytochemicals Modulating Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling Networks in Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition that is marked by the growth of lesions outside the uterus, along with angiogenesis, fibrosis, immune dysregulation, and pain sensitization. There is now growing evidence that receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) sig...

Entrustment–supervision progression across core entrustable professional activities in undergraduate nursing clinical rotations: a prospective longitudinal study

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) operationalize competency-based education by linking assessment to observable clinical tasks and supervision decisions. Although EPAs are widely implemented in postgraduate and advanced nursing education, quantitative evidence describing...

Flexible MultimodalNeural Probe with Integrated Three-ElectrodeAptameric Sensing for In Vivo Monitoring of DopamineDynamics and Neural Activity

Abstract Neural function emerges from the interplay between electrical activity and neurochemical signaling, yet most implantable neural interfaces primarily record electrophysiological signals and lack molecular specificity for neurotransmitter monitoring. Here, we developed a f...
