Exploring baryon semileptonic decays through polarization and entanglement

Abstract The unitarity of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix is a cornerstone of the standard model (SM). Precise tests of this unitarity require independent determinations of its elements, such as | V us |, which governs the transition between strange and up quarks. Curr...

Immunogenic Cell Death Induced by EEO in Breast Cancer Cells Promotes Dendritic Cell Activation in a CRT-Dependent Manner

Cancer immunotherapy faces significant challenges in treating “cold” tumors, which respond poorly to current strategies. Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer-related mortality in women and is a representative immunosuppressive cold tumor. The luminal A subtype of breast cance...

Zero-shot inverse imaging with auto-tuned hyperparameters and untrained generative priors

Inverse imaging aims to reconstruct underlying images from noisy and corrupted observations. Conventional model-based methods heavily rely on prior informatioand hyperparameter tuning, while recent deep learning-based methods inherently require large training datasets. This study...

Experimental and CFD investigation of heat transfer in high-power avionics equipment

Reliable thermal verification of high-power-density avionics is challenging because densely packed circuit boards and narrow cooling passages complicate detailed modeling and experimental validation. This study evaluates the thermal performance of an avionics enclosure using an i...

Patient-reported outcomes of symptom burden and quality of life in patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia in Korea

This cross-sectional survey aimed to identify factors affecting quality of life (QoL) in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). Participants comprised 189 patients with PV or ET receiving outpatient treatment in Seoul. Data were collected using a...

Stem cell factor regulates endothelial HIF-2α expression during hypoxia-driven pathological angiogenesis

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) act as master regulators of hypoxia-induced pathological angiogenesis, a hallmark of various ischemic ocular diseases. Recent evidence highlights the pivotal role of HIF-2α among HIF isoforms in endothelial cells (ECs) undergoing pathological angi...

Stretchable electroluminescent devices based on microLEDs: materials, fabrication, system design, and applications

Micro-light-emitting diodes (microLEDs) have emerged as one of the most promising emitters for stretchable electroluminescent (EL) devices owing to their high brightness, efficiency, operational stability, and environmental robustness. This review summarizes recent advances in mi...

Impact of Concomitant Grade I Degenerative Spondylolisthesis on Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Following Biportal Endoscopic versus Microscopic Laminectomy for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial

Study DesignPost hoc analysis.ObjectiveTo determine whether Meyerding grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS1) modifies 12-month clinical or radiographic outcomes after biportal endoscopic laminectomy (BE-L) versus microscopic laminectomy (M-L) for lumbar spinal stenosis, and...

Modified Mycotoxins in Food: Current Evidence, Key Uncertainties, and Priorities for Risk Assessment

ABSTRACT Modified mycotoxins represent a significant yet underappreciated challenge in food safety assessment. Unlike their parent compounds, modified mycotoxins arise from plant, fungal, animal, microbial, or processing‐induced transformations. Their toxicological relevance depe...

Forced Shadows of an Obstructed Hyperbolic Kac–Moody Denominator

The four orders of the quaternion algebra B6 carry four reflective wall data on lattices of signature (3,2); three integrate to Borcherds denominators and one is obstructed. The failed denominator survives as a weakly harmonic Maass form, and we prove its shadow is a Hecke eigenf...

Macrophage trained immunity requires a mitochondrial glutamine-restriction checkpoint for antitumor protection in mice

Trained immunity enables innate immune cells to acquire memory-like responses, offering a strategy to enhance antitumor immunity. However, the metabolic‒epigenetic mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly defined. Here, we show that lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage t...

Cobalamin‐Dependent O ‐Demethylation of Polymethoxyflavones by Enzymes Isolated From the Human Gut Microorganism Blautia producta MRG‐PMF1

O ‐demethylation of aryl methyl ethers is an invaluable transformation, playing a critical role in ecological circulation by degrading abundant lignin‐derived compounds and other natural products. Chemical O ‐demethylation requires harsh reaction conditions; thus, the need for bi...

Culturally adapted wearable mobile health intervention for physical activity and cognitive function in middle-aged Koreans: a pilot feasibility study

BACKGROUND: Middle adulthood (45-64 years) represents a critical window for the primary prevention of cognitive decline and chronic diseases, with physical activity capable of reducing later cognitive decline by 20% to 35%. However, most evidence on mobile health (mHealth) interv...

Association of communication competence and nursing professionalism with burnout among nurses working at coronavirus residential treatment centers

Abstract Background : Owing to the increasing number of cases of the coronavirus disease, treatment facilities and nursing services were diversifying, necessitating appropriate hiring and operating guidelines. The purpose of this study was to identify the association of communica...

Association between self-reported oral health issues and autoimmune diseases: evidence from UK biobank

Oral microbiome dysbiosis may contribute to autoimmune disease development, but epidemiological evidence linking oral health and autoimmune disease risk is limited. To evaluate the association between self-reported oral health issues by questionnaire—defined as the presence of pa...

Gas-assisted electrodeposition modulates the grain structure of Cu catalysts for selective conversion of CO2 to C2+ products

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction has attracted considerable research interest as a pathway to convert CO 2 into value-added multicarbon products. Cu is a key catalyst for multicarbon-product formation, and its selectivity is strongly affected by its microstructure. However, the eff...

Pharmacologic Treatment Response in Panic Disorder with Comorbid Medical Conditions: A Systematic and Narrative Review

Panic disorder frequently co-occurs with medical conditions, complicating diagnosis and treatment.Although pharmacotherapy is a first-line treatment for panic disorder, pharmacotherapeutic evidence for patients with medical comorbidities is limited.Therefore, this review systemat...
