Hepatocyte OTUD1 promotes hepatic stellate cell activation and liver fibrosis by stabilizing HSP90β

Crosstalk between parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells of the liver mediates the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Activated HSCs transform into myofibroblasts and produce the extracellular matrix (ECM), and massive ECM accumulation can affect liver function and eventu...

The Influence of Immersion Duration on Erosion Differentiation Along Riverbanks in the Middle Yangtze River

ABSTRACT The middle reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Jiujiang region with unconsolidated soil, suffer frequent erosion‐induced collapses, yet the mechanism by which immersion duration regulates soil properties and drives differential erosion remains unclear. To addres...

Experimental study on CO2 flooding for enhanced oil recovery in ultra-low permeability reservoirs of the Songliao Basin

<title>Abstract</title> The Daqingzijing Oilfield in the Songliao Basin is characterized by low porosity and ultra-low permeability, exhibiting significant potential for CO ₂ flooding. To further clarify the impact of different CO ₂ injection methods on enha...

Sustainable Design Strategies for Human–Cat Shared Furniture in Compact Apartments: An Integrated SOR–Kano–FBS Approach

As urban housing becomes increasingly compact and companion animals become more deeply integrated into domestic life, human–cat cohabitation presents design challenges related to spatial efficiency, furniture wear, maintenance, and everyday coexistence. This study examines shared...

Effects of Electronic Layout and Beam Design on High-Speed Dynamic Characteristics of FFF 3D Printers

High-speed Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers are prone to nozzle vibration caused by moving-part inertia, frame flexibility, and modal coupling during high-acceleration motion, which can reduce deposition-trajectory stability. This study evaluates the dynamic adaptability...

Geosynthetic reinforcement and drainage in fine-grained embankments under rainfall

The increasing use of locally sourced fine-grained soils in embankment construction increases susceptibility to rainfall-induced instability due to low permeability, high water retention and limited shear strength. This study investigates the coupled reinforcement–drainage behavi...
