Sprint performance prediction in a national-level database of 58,000 athletes: developmental patterns, population composition effects, and the role of anthropometric features

Abstract Background This study evaluated 100-m sprint performance prediction in one of the largest national-level databases of registered 100-m sprinters analyzed to date, quantified how the target-population definition and the outcome definition shape reported accuracy, and test...

Between myth and power: global players and the politics of reception of Black Myth: Wukong on Reddit

Once peripheral to the global gaming industry, Chinese studios have increasingly sought to reposition themselves as global creative leaders. Black Myth: Wukong (Game Science, 2024) marks a pivotal moment in this shift toward culturally distinctive, mechanically complex, and narra...

A bladder microenvironment-adaptive ceria nanozyme hydrogel enables urea-responsive intravesical chemo-immunotherapy

Bladder cancer intravesical therapy remains limited by rapid urinary washout, insufficient penetration across the bladder mucosal barrier, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, we developed a bladder microenvironment-adaptive chemo-immunotherapy system, Gel/UCeNZ...

University Brokerage Roles in the Global Scientific Mobility System and Research Performance: Role Heterogeneity and the National Network Environment

Cross-university scientific mobility has become an important mechanism through which universities access external knowledge, sustain inter-organizational relationships, and accumulate social capital. Existing studies have mainly examined university positions in scientific mobilit...

Two‐Photon Laser Writing of Sub‐Diffraction Three‐Dimensional Luminescent Perovskite Architecture Embedded in Non‐Luminescent Perovskite

ABSTRACT As emerging high‐performance optoelectronic materials, metal halide perovskites display outstanding advantages in micro‐nano optoelectronic integration. However, high‐precision multidimensional processing and on‐demand dynamic modulation of the luminescent properties of...

Bond-slip constitutive model for the strand-concrete interface based on pull-out tests

Bond transfer at the strand–concrete interface governs the anchorage behavior of pretensioned concrete structures. Monotonic central pull-out tests were conducted on 39 specimens containing 15.2 mm seven-wire strands to investigate the effects of effective anchorage length, trans...

Offshore Wind Farm Pile Foundations as Vertically Heterogeneous Habitats: Beta Diversity Partitioning and Functional Trait-Combination Richness of Epifaunal Communities

Ecological evidence for epifaunal communities on offshore wind farm structures remains geographically concentrated in temperate Northeast Atlantic systems, whereas comparable studies from the subtropical Northwest Pacific remain limited. We sampled upper, middle, and lower layers...

An Apoptotic Body‐Mimetic Nanoagonist for Synergistic Diabetic Wound Immunotherapy

Diabetic skin injury (DSI), which are challenging to heal, contribute to global economic losses exceeding US$ 250 billion annually. The impaired healing process is primarily driven by severe local inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and restricted angiogenesis, with dysfunc...

Pan-cancer screening and integrative multi-omics and deep learning reveal the prognostic significance of an IBD-CRC shared host–microbe signature in bladder urothelial carcinoma

Background The prognostic relevance of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)–colorectal cancer (CRC) shared host–microbe signatures in non-intestinal epithelial malignancies remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic and biological significance of an IBD-CRC shared h...

Listing-Time PE Involvement, ESG Talk–Do Correspondence, and Private Firms’ Productive Development

Using panel data on Chinese A-share listed private enterprises from 2009 to 2023, this study examines the relationships among listing-time private equity (PE) backing, ESG communication, externally rated ESG practices, and subsequent total factor productivity (TFP). TFP is interp...

Comparative study on the effects of 2D and 3D cell culture on the functions of stem cells from the apical papilla

Dental-derived stem cells (DSCs), especially stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP), are vital for regenerative medicine. Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is superior to two-dimensional (2D) culture in mimicking in vivo environments. A dynamic 3D culture system consisting o...

Multiscale mechanical characteristics and slope protection effects of herbaceous roots in the loess region of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Abstract Background The Xining Basin, located at the confluence of the northeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and the western Loess Plateau, where extensive loess deposits are found, is densely inhabited. Major transport corridors, encompassing the Qinghai–Tibet Railway and the Lanzh...

An eight-variable risk model for short- and long-term mortality in hospitalized heart failure

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalization and death worldwide, yet most prognostic models target long-term outcomes and are not optimized for acute-phase risk stratification. This study developed and externally validated an 8-variable Cox model for predict...

Dual‐Site Covalent Targeting Enables BD2‐Selective BET Inhibition With Potent Antitumor Activity in Mice

ABSTRACT Bromodomain and extra‐terminal (BET) proteins are validated therapeutic targets for cancer, but clinical translation of pan‐BET inhibitors is limited by dose‐limiting toxicities from non‐selective inhibition of BD1/BD2 domains. Herein, we report the first‐ever domain‐sel...

Effects of post drill specification, preparation depth and adjacent tooth status on the scanning trueness of post space: an in vitro study

Abstract Background The indication for direct intraoral scanning of post spaces should be guided by the post drill. This study evaluated the influence of drill specifications, preparation depth, and the presence or absence of bilateral adjacent teeth on the scanning trueness of p...

Associations of altitude, physical activity, and body mass index with blood pressure components and grip strength in older adults with elevated blood pressure living at 3100–4500 m in Tibet: a cross-sectional study

High-altitude environments may influence cardiovascular and muscle function in older adults. We examined blood-pressure components and grip strength across three Tibetan altitude sites and their associations with residential altitude, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI)...

Aging while caregiving: a life course qualitative study of left-behind older parents caring for adult children with schizophrenia in rural China

Older adults left behind in rural areas due to large-scale migration often serve as the primary caregivers for their adult children with schizophrenia. This study explores their long-term caregiving experiences, focusing on how caregiving responsibilities are distributed within f...

Basic principles for astrocyte-to-neuron conversion

Abstract Transcription factors have been employed to reprogram one type of cells into a different type of cells, an approach commonly called cell transdifferentiation. Astrocyte-to-neuron conversion is one type of cell transdifferentiation, where neural transcription factors are...

High‐Polarization‐Extinction Raman Conversion in Gas‐Filled Polarization‐Maintaining Hollow‐Core Fibers

ABSTRACT Gas‐filled hollow‐core fibers (HCFs) are versatile platforms for high‐power nonlinear optics, yet integrating robust polarization control remains crucial for advanced practical applications. Here, we demonstrate the generation of highly polarized Stokes light via stimula...
