Localized thermal perturbation alters lipid bilayer structure and daunorubicin interactions in MscL-containing membrane systems

Cancer poses one of the major challenges to human mortality; however, conventional chemotherapy is limited by off-target toxicity and non-specific drug distribution. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have been explored to address these limitations and enhance targeted therapeutic e...

A low-complexity deep residual CNN for channel estimation in OFDM wireless sensor networks

Abstract Accurate channel estimation is essential for reliable communication in OFDM-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where resource constraints and dynamic environments pose significant challenges. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity deep residual convolutional neur...

Broadband asymmetric transmission and cross-polarization conversion in an interlayer-coupled bilayer chiral metasurface

This paper presents a bilayer 3D-chiral metasurface for broadband asymmetric transmission (AT) and cross-polarization conversion in the microwave regime. The structure achieves a polarization conversion ratio (PCR) above 93% over 10.0–15.3 GHz, peaking at 98%. Simulations further...

Incidence, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and pharmacological management of the 2026 Andes virus outbreak

Hantavirus is considered as a fatal zoonotic pathogen that can be commonly transmitted from rodents to humans. However, the Andes virus (ANDV), a type of New World hantavirus, can also be transmitted from human to human. It is the cause of the 2026 hantavirus outbreak on a cruise...

Opening threshold and kinetics of the MscL mechanosensitive channel are regulated by its periplasmic loop

Abstract Mechanosensitive (MS) channels are membrane proteins that respond to mechanical stimuli and are essential across prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The E. coli mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) provides a powerful model for dissecting protein–lipid...

Multimodal transformer-enhanced deep learning for accurate assessment of mandibular third molar–inferior alveolar canal contact using panoramic radiography and CBCT slices

Accurate preoperative assessment of the spatial relationship between mandibular third molars (M3Ms) and the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) is essential to minimize the risk of nerve injury. While panoramic radiographs (PRs) are routinely used as a first-line modality, their two-di...

Monitoring of oxidative stress and acute phase proteins following testes exposure with ultrasound waves in cats

Ultrasonic therapy has harmfully effects on the structure and function of the testis. Various mechanisms are involved in the impact of ultrasound waves on testes tissue. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ultrasound exposure on cat`s testes by monitoring acute phase p...
