The impact of inhibitory control and working memory capacity on verbal-humor processing: an ERP investigation

Abstract Verbal-humor processing is a sophisticated cognitive-emotional task. While domain-general executive functions like inhibitory control (IC) and working memory capacity (WMC) are known to influence language comprehension, their specific, stage-dependent contributions to th...

From endovascular therapy to perivascular therapy: A new concept and perspective

The cardiovascular system relies on an organ-spanning vascular network not only for transport but also for systemic homeostatic control. Surrounding the vessel wall is a complex perivascular microenvironment, including the vasa vasorum, autonomic and sensory nerves, perivascular...

Dynamic Interfacial Adsorption via a Thermoresponsive Biomass Interphase Enables Temperature‐Adaptive Zinc Anodes

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc batteries face temperature‐dependent interfacial challenges, whereas conventional artificial interphases rely on static passivation and therefore lose effectiveness under thermal perturbation. Here we report a thermoresponsive biomass interphase that enables...

Epididymal Versus Testicular Sperm for ICSI in Obstructive Azoospermia: Embryological, Clinical, and Neonatal Outcomes in a Retrospective Cohort

BACKGROUND: Whether sperm source influences intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in men with obstructive azoospermia (OA) remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To compare embryological, clinical, and neonatal outcomes of ICSI using percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PE...

Comprehensive evaluation of the αβ-TCR repertoire profile in hepatitis B vaccine-positive responders and patients with chronic hepatitis B

T cells play a vital role in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, mediating both protective immunity and immunopathology. Deep profiling of the T cell receptor (TCR) complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) provides critical insights into T cell composition and function. However...

A Novel Role of DELTEX2 in Maintaining Genomic Stability of Granulosa Cells During Ovarian Aging

ABSTRACT Genomic instability is a key driver of ovarian aging, impairing granulosa cell (GC) function and diminishing ovarian reserve. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying GC genomic homeostasis remain poorly defined. This study investigates the novel role of DELTEX2 (DT...
