Intracellular Ca2⁺ dynamics are required for microglial process motility during surveillance and in response to injury

Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, play pivotal roles in brain surveillance and injury responses through highly dynamic process motility. Here, we investigated the role of Ca 2 ⁺ signaling in mediating microglial process motility under both physio...

Reward-driven mixed and stochastic equilibria for efficient and resilient traffic assignment

Regulators adopt incentive strategies to guide urban travel behavior, but travelers deviate from system-optimal routes due to heterogeneous information access and perceptual biases. Traffic assignment quantifies such regulatory impacts on network flow, yet fixed user equilibrium-...

Digital 3D-Printed Surgical Guide for Removal of a Separated Instrument at the Maxillary Sinus Floor and Apical Microsurgery

This case report describes a maxillary first molar with chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) and a separated endodontic instrument migrated to the maxillary sinus floor, which was successfully managed with digital guide-assisted endodontic microsurgery. A 20-year-old female patient...

Ordered J‐Aggregation Directed by Inner Alkyl Chains Enables Additive‐ and Annealing‐Free Organic Solar Cells With 20.73% Efficiency

ABSTRACT Molecular aggregation behavior of non‐fullerene acceptors (NFAs) plays a pivotal role in the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). In Y‐series NFAs, excessive H‐like core contacts may increase packing disorder, while terminal group‐mediated J‐like inter...

Association between delusions, belief flexibility, and cognitive control in schizophrenia – a 6-month repeated-measures study

Abstract Background There is robust evidence that belief inflexibility is critical to the maintenance of delusion conviction. While cognitive control abilities (inhibitory control, mental set shifting, and working memory updating) are instrumental to information processing in gen...

Interlayer charge-transfer states in SnS2/InSe Van der Waals heterostructures realizing mid-infrared photodetection

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures offer a versatile platform where engineered interlayer coupling enables optical processes beyond those of individual materials. Their atomically sharp interfaces support charge-transfer states, directional carrie...

Central facial emotion accelerates automatic processing of multiple facial expressions: An EEG study

Automatic processing of multiple facial expressions (MFE) is essential for adaptive social interactions, enabling the rapid detection of emotional cues in complex social environments. Behavioral studies have shown that, during explicit judgments of overall emotion, faces in the c...

Institutional influences on network brokerage behaviors in B2B mutual fund markets: a comparative analysis of three Asian markets

Purpose This study aims to investigate how diverse institutional environments shape and moderate network brokerage behaviors within business-to-business (B2B) mutual fund markets. Specifically, it explores how human brokers and digital platforms adapt their intermediation strateg...

Energy‐Flux‐Weighted Absorption Designed Metallic Gratings Enable Polarization‐Sensitive Perovskite Photodiodes at the O‐Band Wavelength

ABSTRACT Polarization‐sensitive photodetectors operating in the O‐band spectrum are essential for advanced optoelectronic applications. However, mostly metal halide perovskite photodetectors lack intrinsic polarization sensitivity and are typically limited to the UV–vis spectrum...

Silicon-carbon anodes for solid‑state batteries: Challenges, optimization strategies, and future perspectives

Abstract Developing safe, high‑energy‑density energy storage systems is a central goal in electrochemistry. Silicon (Si) delivers a high theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mAh g-1, yet it suffers from severe volume expansion and interfacial degradation. Solid-state electrolyte...

A 3D VTI Factored Eikonal Solver Using a Six‐Tetrahedron Pyramidal Stencil

ABSTRACT Accurate traveltime computation for the eikonal equation is essential in seismic applications such as tomography and migration. The fast sweeping method is widely used because of its unconditional stability and computational efficiency. We develop a three‐dimensional fas...

Multidimensional trust perceptions of AI medical conversational agents: framework development and scale validation

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded in everyday life through an expanding range of applications, services, and products. As its potential to improve diagnosis, personalize treatment, and enhance operational efficiency becomes increasingly evident, healthcare is u...

STRP: A Low-Cost Teleoperation Platform with Spatial Force Feedback for Visually Occluded Dexterous Manipulation in Hazardous Environments

High-voltage grid maintenance and chemical processing demand dexterous manipulation in confined, visually occluded environments. Existing teleoperation systems present a severe cost–fidelity trade-off: industrial platforms exceed USD 60,000 yet lack spatial directional resolution...

st2traj: deconvolution-informed trajectory inference for multi-timepoint spatial transcriptomics

MOTIVATION: Multi-timepoint spatial transcriptomics enables study of developmental processes in native tissue context, but cell-state mixtures within spots and lack of direct spatial correspondence across sections complicate trajectory inference and biological interpretation. RES...

Sequential Integration of Microenvironment Regulation Utilizing Aggregation‐Induced Emission Luminogen‐Based Carbon Dots for Diabetic Wound Treatment
