Differential expression of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 across WHO grades in meningioma: convergent evidence from mRNA, methylation, miRNA, and protein analysis

Meningiomas show biological heterogeneity not captured by WHO grading alone. TGF-β signaling has been implicated in meningioma pathobiology, yet a systematic, grade-stratified, isoform-resolved characterization of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 across transcriptional, epigenetic, pos...

Geriatric nutritional risk index as a potential prognostic indicator in pancreatic cancer: evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis

Malnutrition is highly prevalent among patients with pancreatic cancer and has a substantial impact on prognosis, treatment tolerability, and quality of life. However, the prognostic significance of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), a simple and objective tool for asse...

A generalization of director tensors for odd matter in classical continuum mechanics

Abstract A general tensorial framework for odd and hyperelastic contributions in linear elasticity is developed within classical continuum mechanics. The formulation is based on complementary decompositions of the second-order identity tensor and an off-diagonal selector tensor,...

Longitudinal Dynamics of the Kia Niro EV: An Experimental Study of Acceleration and Regenerative Braking Under Selected Control Settings

The rapid development of electric vehicles has increased the need for a better understanding of the relationships between vehicle dynamics, energy consumption and control strategies. This study presents an experimental investigation of the acceleration and coasting characteristic...

Tuning Cyclopentadiene Isomerization by Substituent Effects

Abstract Context The isomerization of substituted cyclopentadienyl systems plays an important role in understanding substituent effects on sigmatropic rearrangements and proton transfer processes. In this work, R- and proton-shifts in substituted cyclopentadienes (MeCp, tBuCp, Si...

Energy Supply Shocks and Inflation in Central and Eastern Europe: Evidence from Bayesian SVARs and Local Projections

Energy price shocks have been the main drivers of inflation in Europe during the last decade. This paper examines cross-country differences in the transmission and magnitude of energy supply shocks in the Visegrád Group countries (Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia) over the...
