Abstract The severe permeability impairment caused by clay fine migration remains a critical challenge during low salinity water injection in sandstone reservoirs. The research synthesizes and evaluates a cationic core shell nanocomposite to electrostatically stabilize clay miner...

Cell-free DNA fragmentomics and epigenomic profiling in hematologic malignancies: current evidence, translational limitations, and future directions

Mutation-based liquid biopsy supports diagnosis and disease monitoring in hematologic malignancies, but interpretation of plasma variants may be complicated by clonal hematopoiesis, treatment-related changes, and nonmalignant blood-cell turnover. This structured narrative review...

Deposition rate– dependent transition of growth mechanisms in Zr 60 Ni 30 Al 10 metallic glass thin films

In this study, Zr 60 Ni 30 Al 10 metallic glass thin films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering over a deposition rate range of 5–32 nm/min to investigate the relationships between deposition conditions, growth kinetics, structural evolution, and mechanical behavior. The res...

Air jet erosion behaviour of high-velocity air–fuel-sprayed WC-10Co-4Cr coatings reinforced with 2 wt-% La 2 O 3 on SS410 steel

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the influence of 2 wt-% La 2 O 3 addition on the microstructural characteristics, mechanical properties, and air jet erosion behaviour of high-velocity air–fuel-sprayed WC-10Co-4Cr coatings deposited on SS410 stainless steel. Cross-sect...

Multiomics Biomarkers of ZnO Nanoparticle Toxicity Using Mitochondrial, Oxidative Stress and Epigenetic Signatures

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) rank among the highest-volume engineered nanomaterials, and their partial dissolution generates a composite particle and ion exposure that converges on three measurable molecular layers. This review consolidates quantitative endpoints reported a...

Experimental investigation and predictive modeling of wear in Al7075–SiC nanocomposites

This study examines the dry sliding wear behavior of Al7075-3 wt% SiC nanocomposites using a pin-on-disc tribometer and ASTM G99 standards. Experimental results indicate that tribological responses are strongly affected by sliding distance, applied load, and sliding speed. When t...

Assessment of health information sources and Information, Education and Communication reach among rural residents of Gautam Buddha Nagar District, Uttar Pradesh, India

Abstract This study assessed health information sources, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) reach, trust in information sources, and factors associated with message recall among rural adults in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India. A community-based cros...

Genetically distinct neurodegenerative proteinopathies engage overlapping proteostasis components

Neurodegenerative proteinopathies are defined by distinct proteins whose folding, trafficking and clearance depend on shared proteostasis machinery. Whether these disorders engage common components or only common processes has been unresolved. We mapped 16 disease proteins from 1...

Unusual Lateral Presentation of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in a 30 Year Old Male: A Case Report

Background: Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital anterior neck mass, typically presenting in the paediatric age group as a painless midline swelling. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by imaging modalities and fine needle aspiration cytology fo...

NRF2‐Regulated Ferroptosis in Breast Cancer: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Therapeutic Opportunities

ABSTRACT Breast cancer remains a significant clinical challenge, particularly in triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC), in which therapeutic resistance limits treatment efficacy. Ferroptosis, an iron‐dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged...

Heavy metal induced cellular proteostasis failure promotes neurodegeneration and therapeutic opportunities

Exposure to heavy metals is a significant environmental risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Persistent exposure to heavy metals including lead, mercury, cadmium, manganese, copper, and arsenic are all examples of non-biodegradable, bioaccumulative toxicants that can cross...

Advanced cathode engineering in sodium-ion batteries: doping, phase, and interface modulation from layer oxides to polyanionics

Abstract Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted significant attention as viable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries; however, their practical advancement remains limited by cathode-related challenges, including sluggish Na + diffusion, structural degradation, and rapid capa...

Synthetic Biology and Soft Robotics in Biohybrid Kidney Replacement: A Conceptual Framework and Translational Roadmap

ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease necessitates safer, more continuous kidney replacement therapies (KRT), yet current dialysis and transplantation are constrained by intermittent treatment, organ scarcity, and immunosuppression‐related complications. Methods This concept...
