Dual-Tail Trisiloxane Surfactants Stabilize Supercritical CO2 Nanoemulsions for Geological Carbon Sequestration

Abstract Nanoemulsions offer an approach that balances safety and efficiency in carbon sequestration. The addition of surfactants extends the lifetime of nanoemulsions to ensure stable efficacy. However, previous research on CO2 under atmospheric conditions cannot be applied to p...

Study on the regulation mechanism of hydration behavior, durability and electrochemical performance of Portland cement via nanocellulose-MXene synergistic modification

Cement-based materials face a fundamental contradiction, where achieving good structural load-bearing capacity, excellent conductivity, and long-term corrosion resistance remains challenging. However, how to introduce stable conductive phases and simultaneously improve strength w...

Cardiomyocyte-Specific LncRNA CSTPP Prolongs the Proliferation Window by Promoting CDKN1A Decay in Postinfarction Cardiac Regeneration

BACKGROUND: Adult mammalian cardiomyocytes exhibit some capacity to reenter the cell cycle after ischemic injury. However, activated cardiomyocytes rapidly undergo cell cycle rearrest shortly after activation. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of c...

Plant DICER-LIKE, dual measurement RNA rulers

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated gene silencing plays critical roles in eukaryotic gene regulation. The biogenesis of the two major types of sRNA, microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), relies on the type III endoribonuclease Dicer. Unlike animals, which typically harbor fe...

Functional–behavioral profiles and clinical characteristics among hospitalized patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a real-world clustering analysis

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) exhibits substantial heterogeneity in functional impairment and behavioral symptoms beyond cognitive decline. However, clinically interpretable approaches for characterizing functional–behavioral heterogeneity in real-world inpatient settings remain limit...

Exploiting Asymmetric Mismatch Sensitivity of Cas13a for Interference-Tolerant Single-CpG Methylation Analysis

Abstract Accurate single-CpG methylation analysis in dense regions is critical for cancer diagnostics but challenged by adjacent CpG interference. Here, we developed EPICATCH, an interference-tolerant ratiometric Cas13a biosensor to overcome this limitation. Exploiting LbuCas13a′...

Orbitocranial resection for treatment of lacrimal gland malignant tumors with intracranial extension

Objectives This study reports our experience with multidisciplinary surgical management of lacrimal gland malignant tumors with intracranial extension using the orbitocranial approach. Methods We reviewed treatment strategies and surgical approaches for lacrimal gland malignant t...

From rejection sensitivity to phubbing: Self-compassion and self-uncertainty as serial mediators and a self-compassion writing intervention

Phubbing—attending to one's smartphone in another person's presence—is widespread, yet its dispositional and intrapersonal correlates remain poorly understood. Drawing on the cognitive-affective model of rejection sensitivity (RS) and a self-regulatory resource framework, we exam...

SPNet: segmentation-to-poly network for building footprint extraction

Building extraction from remote sensing images is a core task in urban planning and related applications. However, achieving high-precision building footprint extraction remains challenging due to complex building shapes and background noise. Existing mask-based methods produce r...

Neuromorphic Computing with Interfacial Dynamics in Electrolytic Memristive Synapse

ABSTRACT Brain‐inspired computing demands devices that operate at biological voltages and embody biological principles. Existing liquid‐based memristors offer ion‐mediated computation yet exceed physiological levels and require rigid matrices. Here, we report a hydrogel‐confined...

Correlating hydration mechanism and microstructure development to LC3 synergistic effect improvement in UHPC under hot-water curing condition

Limestone-calcined clay (LC3) can be used to prepare ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) to reduce its environmental impact. However, the application is restricted because the synergistic effect of LC3 could not be fully activated under a high LC3 replacement ratio due to the...

Highly Efficient Non‐Doped Blue Electro‐Fluorescence With Fast Carrier Mobilities: Hybrid Local and Charge‐Transfer (HLCT) Excited State and Regularly Stacked Aggregate

ABSTRACT Non‐doped organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) offer simpler fabrication and lower manufacturing costs than traditional doped OLEDs, attracting increasing attention in both scientific research and industrial applications. However, aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ) and...

ARID1B promotes DNA end resection via MDC1 and co-transactivation of DNA repair genes with c-MYC in small cell lung cancer

Abstract AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1B (ARID1B) has been implicated in DNA damage repair; however, its precise molecular mechanisms and contributions to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) pathogenesis remain incompletely defined. In this study, analysis of clinical...

DinoDental : Benchmarking DINOv3 as a Unified Vision Encoder for Dental Image Analysis

ABSTRACT The scarcity and high cost of expert annotation remain major barriers to developing reliable AI systems for dental imaging. DINOv3, a state‐of‐the‐art self‐supervised vision foundation model pretrained on 1.7 billion images, offers a promising way to reduce this dependen...

Economic Status and Decision-Making Behavior: The Cost of Cognitive Control

Economic poverty entails material deprivation and life unpredictability, imposing heavier external constraints on low-income individuals’ goal pursuit than on their higher-income counterparts. We hypothesized that relative economic disadvantage fosters situation-driven decision-m...

Machine learning-accelerated sustainable inverse design of ultra-wideband THz metamaterial absorber

Terahertz absorbers are progressively relevant to sustainable energy and sensing where material and computational efficiency are essential. We demonstrated a six-layer IGIGIM (Insulator–Graphene–Insulator–Graphene–Insulator–Metal) metamaterial absorber that achieves >90% absorpti...

Contrasting climatic controls on bimodal growth of Pinus elliottii plantations between northern and southern subtropical zones

Subtropical plantation forests play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, yet intensifying global warming may exert profound impact on tree growth and forest carbon uptake. Pinus elliottii Engelm. is a widely planted and representative plantation species in subtropical regio...

Non‑monotonic reorganization of cortical neuron firing despite ongoing delta‑dominated activity

Delta - dominated activity is a hallmark of anesthesia and non‑REM sleep, yet how neuronal firing evolves across these rhythms remains unclear. Here, by tracking cortical neuron firing in the ketamine‑xylazine model, we find that across continuing delta - dominated activity, popu...
