Exclusive Detection of Dimethyl Sulfide by a Pd–WO3 Sensor with the CuO/Al2O3 Filtering Overlayer

Abstract Selective detection of trace (weakly reducing) dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in highly humid exhaled breath using metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, with the presence of strong reducing H2S interference gas, is essential for the early diagnosis of hepatic diseases. Howeve...

Personalized haemodynamic modelling for non-invasive quantification of arterial stiffness in the human vasculature

Arterial stiffness is a pivotal predictor of cardiovascular events, yet its in vivo characterization remains elusive because arterial wall mechanics cannot be directly measured. Conventional inverse approaches require high-resolution imaging to resolve wall motion, restricting th...

A Novel Reactive Oxygen Species‐Responsive Bone‐Targeted Nanoplatform Based on Cloperastine Attenuates Ovariectomy‐Induced Bone Loss by Inhibiting Osteoclast Oxidative Phosphorylation

ABSTRACT Postmenopausal osteoporosis is caused by excessive osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption. This study identifies mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) as a tractable metabolic target for antiresorptive therapy. A literature‐guided drug repurposing screen focused...

A Survey on U-Net with Variants and Their Applications in Two-Dimensional Medical Image Segmentations

Medical image segmentation plays a critical role in computer-assisted diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical navigation, and quantitative medical image analysis. Among deep learning-based segmentation architectures, U-Net has become one of the most influential frameworks because...

How Heat Stress Mediates the Impacts of Street-level Environmental Features on Housing Prices: A Comparative Study of Center City and Outside Areas in Philadelphia

Urban heat increasingly shapes housing markets, but existing studies often use coarse data and overlook spatial differences. This study develops an SEM-centered framework, with RF-SHAP as a non-parametric robustness check, to examine how 1-meter Universal Thermal Climate Index (U...

Diamond-based deep ultraviolet vortex beam generation with suppressed higher-order diffractions

Optical vortices (OVs) with unique singular phase and orbital angular momentum are widely used in various applications including particle manipulation, microscopy, and imaging scenarios. Regardless, the undesired higher-order foci introduced by the conventional vortex lens such a...

The Dual-Ribozyme RNA Ladder and RNA-Calibrated ssDNA Marker System for Inexpensive RNA Size Standards

Abstract RNA size markers are essential for denaturing Urea-PAGE analysis, but commercial RNA ladders are expensive, available only in fixed size ranges, and require careful handling to prevent RNA degradation. Here, we developed a modular dual-ribozyme platform for preparing RNA...

Molecular Machine‐Driven Fluorogenic Probes for Motion–Signal Conversion and Hydrophilicity Retention in Live‐Cell Nanoscopy

ABSTRACT Traditional fluorogenic and cell‐permeable molecular probes for live‐cell nanoscopy mainly rely on structural or hydrophilicity changes to generate intracellular fluorescence signals. Here, we introduce molecular machines into fluorogenic probe design. As a proof of conc...

ASFV early infection dynamically remodels host chromatin architecture to evade immune responses

African swine fever (ASF), a lethal and highly contagious viral disease, continues to inflict substantial economic losses on the global swine industry. The etiological agent African swine fever virus (ASFV), a member of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) family, prim...

Dual stream knowledge distillation for 3D LiDAR segmentation model with large sparse multi-directional convolution

Semantic segmentation of LiDAR point clouds is a fundamental task in 3D scene understanding, with broad applications in autonomous driving, robotics, and urban mapping. This paper presents a novel framework that couples 3D large sparse multi-directional convolution with a trainin...

High-sensitivity deep shortwave infrared organic photodetectors enabled by selenium-integrated quinoidal molecular semiconductor

Developing organic photodetectors (OPDs) that can detect in deep shortwave infrared (deep-SWIR) region (1.2–1.6 μm) is technologically important. Yet, the performance of the state-of-the-art deep-SWIR OPDs remains substantially limited. Herein, we report a selenium-integrated qui...

Bilayer Hydrogel Electrolytes Regulate Electric‐Field‐Induced Deformation in Zinc–Sodium Hybrid Batteries

ABSTRACT Hydrogels are widely used as quasi‐solid‐state electrolytes (QSEs) in batteries due to their favorable mechanical properties. However, a critical fundamental phenomenon has remained largely overlooked: the electro‐chemo‐mechanical evolution of the hydrogel under an elect...

Propylene Glycol‐Assisted Printing of Graphene Piezoresistive Sensor Array for Analytical Motion Tracking and Spinal Kinetics Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of spinal kinematics is crucial for posture correction and rehabilitation, yet conventional approaches like radiological imaging and camera-based motion capture are limited by snapshot-only information and the reliance on specialized medical equipment. Weara...

Aberrant salience is selectively associated with ventral midbrain connectivity to the dorsal but not ventral striatum

The dorsal midbrain-striatal dopaminergic stream encodes salience in animals, while it’s unknown in humans. The midbrain-striatal dopaminergic hyperactivity is postulated to attribute aberrantly-heightened salience to ordinary stimuli, forming delusion and hallucination. While an...
