Solvent-Free, Highly Transparent, and Strong Cellulose Films from Carnauba Wax/Waterborne Polyurethane for Sustainable Packaging

Abstract Conventional transparent paper suffers from limited optical transmittance, poor water resistance, and low mechanical strength, and its fabrication typically depends on organic solvents, which cannot meet the long-term requirements of high-end packaging. In this work, we...

Cross-scale Data-Driven Heat Flow Prediction in the Ordos Basin and Adjacent Areas: An XGBoost Model with SHAP Interpretability

Summary Terrestrial heat flow is a fundamental parameter characterizing the thermal regime of sedimentary basins, but sparse and unevenly distributed measurements limit regional heat flow mapping. This study integrated cross-scale geological and geophysical features to compare XG...

A Piezoelectric Microtool for In Vitro Elastic Modulus Measurement and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Boundary Identification

Accurate identification of tumor boundaries is crucial for effective local treatment and protection of surrounding healthy tissue. However, current methods for rapidly characterizing local tissue biomechanical properties remain limited. In this study, we present a novel MEMS-inte...

Dimethylcurcumin Alleviates Copper Sulfate‐Induced Toxicity by Regulating Glycolipid Metabolism and Arachidonic Acid Metabolism

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dimethylcurcumin (DMC) on copper sulfate (CuSO 4 )‐induced inflammatory toxicity in zebrafish, and preliminarily explore its potential molecular mechanism. Zebrafish larvae at 3 days post‐fertilization (3 dpf) were pretr...

Nodular fasciitis of the nasal cavity with USP6 rearrangement: a case report

Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a benign myofibroblastic tumor characterized by rapid growth, self-limiting course, and rearrangement of the USP6 gene. While NF can occur in the head and neck region, cases originating within the nasal cavity are exceedingly rare. We herein report a cas...

Metal‐Organic Framework‐Enabled Protection of Plasma DNA for Long‐Term Storage and Rare Mutation Detection

ABSTRACT Plasma DNA analysis remains a pivotal noninvasive approach for cancer diagnosis; however, the low abundance and rapid degradation of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) present significant challenges for sample preservation and transport. Existing stabilization methods often f...

Determinant model of green creative network capability of family farms: An exploration based on grounded theory

: Green Creative Network Capability (GCNC) is particularly important for addressing business-model homogenization and weak sustainability awareness among family farms in China. Existing studies on green creativity and network capability have mainly focused on corporate contexts,...

Phage as a prospective arsenal against superbugs

The escalating crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates the urgent development of alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy, which utilizes viruses that specifically infect and lyse bacteria, has re-emerged as a promising therapeutic stra...

Optimizationof the Composition of NiFe-PBA Nanomaterialsand Synergistic Enhancement of Electrochemiluminescence from GoldNanoclusters via Pleated Ce-MOF: A New Strategy for S100B Immunoassay

Abstract As a blood biomarker associated with cerebral infarction (CI), the ultrasensitive detection of S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) is of great significance for the early warning of CI. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology holds tremendous application potential du...
