The relationship between parental mediation and problematic internet use among adolescents: roles of hiding online behaviors and autonomy

Abstract Background In a modern information society, problematic internet use among adolescents poses challenges to family education, and research on the effects of parental mediation has yielded inconsistent findings. To explore the possible pathways underlying these association...

Motion enhances camouflage: Retinal evidence for flicker fusion camouflage in jumping spiders

Camouflage is often assumed to fail once prey move, yet theory predicts that rapid motion can reduce detectability through flicker fusion camouflage (FFC), where high-contrast patterns blur into perceptual uniformity. We tested this prediction using retinal tracking in the jumpin...

SRPK3 exacerbates cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury by regulating KLF3-mTOR/P70 S6K-mediated autophagy

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a leading cause of cardiac dysfunction and mortality worldwide. Serine/arginine-Rich Protein Kinase 3 (SRPK3) is highly expressed in cardiac muscle, yet its specific pathological role in I/R injury has not been fully characteri...

Nutrient–Microbiota Co-Regulation of Protein Conversion in Black Soldier Fly Larvae: The Role of Alkali-Soluble Protein and Gut Microbial Communities

Insect protein farming provides sustainable advantages in land efficiency, emission reduction, and bioconversion. A major challenge is optimizing nutrient composition to achieve cost-effective protein production. This study investigates the co-regulatory mechanism between alkali-...

A One-Pot Reverse Transcriptase-Mediated, Pre-amplification-Free CRISPR/Cas12a Assay for Ultrasensitive Nucleic Acid Detection

Abstract CRISPR/Cas12a holds great promise for biosensing and diagnostics, but conventional methods suffer from low catalytic efficiency, high background, and reliance on pre-amplification. Direct detection of structured RNAs also remains challenging. Herein, we report the develo...

Alkali Metal Ion Migration Modulation-Induced High-Performance Low-Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Abstract Reducing the operating temperature while maintaining a stable performance is a key challenge for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Here, we improve the performance of low-temperature SOFCs by modulating the migration of alkali metal ions within the cell. To visualize the m...

Comparative effects of semaglutide tirzepatide and retatrutide on renal fibrosis in UUO and aged mice

Chronic kidney disease is a major health burden. Given the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide) in diabetic nephropathy, we evaluated their anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects in non-diabetic renal fibrosis using HK-...

BifunctionalIonophores for Cuproptosis Activation:Dual Targeting of Copper and Fe–S Protein Homeostasis

Abstract Cellular resilience to therapy often arises from adaptive mechanisms that safeguard iron–sulfur (Fe–S) proteins. Here, we present a rational strategy to overcome such resilience by integrating two synergistic vulnerabilities, copper toxicity and Fe–S cluster homeostasis,...

Leg Autotomy and Regeneration in Crab Spiders Ebrechtella tricuspidata (Araneae: Thomisidae)

Arachnids evade predation by intentionally sacrificing body parts, with leg autotomy playing a crucial role in their survival and reproductive strategies. Our study primarily employed field surveys and laboratory experiments to examine the frequency of autotomy and its effects on...

Numerical simulation on full-link underwater LIDAR with an optical filter using OAM modulation

Optical filtering based on orbital angular momentum (OAM) modulation can effectively suppress background noise and multiple-scattering light in water, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of underwater lidar. Although OAM modulation has been investigated in previous...

Enhancing Dermatological Image Segmentation via In‐Sensor Computing With a Neuromorphic Ga‐Doped ZnO Nanorod‐Based Optoelectronic Memristors

ABSTRACT Conventional computing architectures with separate sensing and processing units are plagued by latency and energy inefficiencies. By fusing local data and computation, in‐sensor computing enables real‐time localized data processing and decision‐making, approaching the en...

Photothermal Superhydrophobic Textiles: An Emerging Paradigm from Passive Water Repellency to Active Thermal Management

Photothermal superhydrophobic textiles represent an emerging paradigm integrating active light-driven functionality with passive liquid repellency. While previous reviews treated superhydrophobicity and photothermal effects in isolation, this work pioneers a systematic analysis o...

A ParallelogramTetranickel Complex with a Short Ni–NiBond Supported by a Pentadentate N-Ligand

Abstract Metal–metal bonded complexes feature unique intermetallic synergy enabling small-molecule activation and organic transformations. Using a pentadentate N-ligand, a dinickel paddlewheel complex is obtained from NiCl2, while a tetranickel complex with a short Ni–Ni bond in...
