Circulating microRNAs: a new era in early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) — a systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: The chances of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) being diagnosed at an early stage are very low, and this leads to a poor prognosis. The presence of circulating miRNAs (miRNAs) in blood or saliva is now a potential non-invasive diagnostic biomarker, although the dia...

Systematic evidence review on radiosensitizers and the abscopal effects of radiotherapy

BACKGROUND: The abscopal effect, defined as regression of non-irradiated tumors following localized radiotherapy (RT), is increasingly recognized as an immune-mediated phenomenon. Radiosensitizers may enhance this effect by amplifying radiation-induced immunogenicity and systemic...

Experimental and thermal performance evaluation of a PCM-enhanced solar water heater with a spiral coil heat exchanger

Latent heat thermal energy storage is an effective approach for enhancing the performance of solar water heating (SWH) systems by storing surplus thermal energy and delivering it during periods of low solar availability. In this study, the thermal performance of a solar water hea...

Hydrogen-assisted combustion of GQD–DEE-enhanced WCO biodiesel in a dual-fuel CI engine

Abstract The relatively low performance and elevated nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions associated with biodiesel-fueled compression ignition (CI) engines continue to limit their widespread application. To address these challenges, the present study investigates the combined influenc...

Conducting Polymers: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications – a Review

The 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Alan J. Heeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for the discovery and development of conductive polymers, particularly polyacetylene. Since then, research on conducting polymers has progressed rapidly, with sustained focus...

Development of an authenticated cryptography algorithm to enhance the security of Internet of Things closed-circuit television devices

The security and efficiency of Internet of Things (IoT) Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) devices become crucial with the increased popularity of CCTV surveillance systems. Security is provided by traditional encryption techniques but with the large computational overhead that mak...

HyperTransUrban: a vision transformer-driven survey of change detection using hyperspectral imaging

In the twenty-first century, urbanization has become one of the most transformative processes, driving significant changes in land use, infrastructure, and environmental conditions. These dynamics underscore the need for accurate urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disa...

Mechanically Dynamic and Immuno-Instructive Biomaterials: Converging Strategies to Direct Cell Fate in Regenerative Microenvironments

Tissue regeneration is influenced by the dynamic interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), in which the repair outcomes are collectively determined by the evolving mechanical properties and strictly regulated immune responses. Conventional biomaterials, which...
