In Situ detection of protein-phosphoinositide signalosome in tissues by immunohistochemistry-coupled proximity ligation assay

Abstract Phosphoinositides (PIPs) are central lipid signaling molecules, with PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 acting as a key regulator of the PI3K-AKT pathway and a major driver of tumorigenesis. Together with p53 mutations or loss, this pathway represents one of the most frequently dysregulat...

Precursor‐Level Molecular Coupling Enables High‐Fill‐Factor Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells and 29.63% All‐Perovskite Tandems

ABSTRACT Wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskites with a ∼1.78 eV bandgap are essential for monolithic all‐perovskite tandem cells, yet their efficiency and stability are limited by complex precursor chemistry, uncontrolled crystallization, defect formation, and photoinduced halide segrega...

From structural design to model compression: Research progress on lightweight algorithms for motor imagery brain–computer interfaces

Abstract Motor imagery brain–computer interfaces (MI‐BCIs) enable direct brain‐to‐device communication by decoding movement intentions from EEG signals. Although deep learning models have significantly improved decoding accuracy, their high computational complexity and large para...

Mechanism-Driven Risk Assessment of 1,3,6-Tribromocarbazole: An Integrated Strategy Implicates ESR1-Associated Cardiovascular Toxicity

Abstract Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) are globally distributed emerging persistent organic pollutants, yet their cardiovascular hazards remain largely uncharacterized. We therefore built an adverse outcome pathway (AOP)-guided prediction-to-validation strategy─coupling envi...

Embodied Sensing for Closed-Loop Manipulation in an Integrated Magnetic Soft Robot

Abstract Precision manipulation of magnetic soft robots holds great promise for applications in complex and confined environments, where a single robot could perform diverse tasks on different target objects. However, existing sensing strategies predominantly emphasize the detect...

Flexible lithium‐ion batteries: Materials design, interfacial regulation, and strain‐adaptive device architectures

Abstract Flexible lithium‐ion batteries (FLIBs) are emerging as promising power sources for wearable, foldable, and deformable electronics, where stable electrochemical output must be maintained under repeated bending, twisting, folding, and stretching. However, conventional lith...

A narrowband bandpass filter with multiple transmission zeros based on parallel coupled lines structure

Purpose This paper aims to present the theoretical design of a narrowband bandpass filter (BPF) using a multiple parallel-coupled line structure. The proposed filter delivers robust narrowband performance, generates multiple transmission zeros (TZs) and achieves wide-stopband rej...

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...

Neighborhood interaction at age 65 and subsequent initiation and cessation of social participation in Japanese older adults: the NISSIN Project

Whether neighborhood interaction is differently associated with initiation and cessation of social participation in early old age remains unclear. We analyzed 1,688 Japanese adults surveyed at ages 65 and 70. Initiation and cessation were examined separately using modified Poisso...

Numerical Ergodicity and Optimal Strong Error Estimates for a Class of Novel Tamed Schemes to Superlinear SPDEs

We construct a class of novel tamed schemes for superlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), including the stochastic Allen–Cahn equation driven by either multiplicative or additive noise. The schemes preserve the same Lyapunov structure as the original system,...

A Second-Order Product-Type Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta Method Preserving Unit Length and Energy Dissipation Structures for Gradient Flows of Vector Fields

Abstract. Gradient flows of unit vector fields arise in a wide range of physical models such as harmonic map heat flows, nematic liquid crystals, and magnetization dynamics. Designing numerical schemes that simultaneously preserve the unit length constraint and dissipate energy i...

Octopus-inspired muscle activation unlocks high-DOF motion from a single actuator

While soft robots leverage compliant materials to offer infinite degrees of freedom (DOFs), achieving dexterous motions usually requires numerous actuators, making the robot bulky, complex to assemble, and discontinuously segmented. Here, inspired by the octopus neuromuscular jun...

Some Semi-decoupled Algorithms with Optimal Convergence for a Four-Field Linear Thermo-poroelastic Model

Abstract We propose a parallel semi-decoupled algorithm to efficiently solve a four-field thermo-poroelastic model. At the initial time step, all variables are computed simultaneously using a monolithic solver; thereafter, the system is split into a mixed linear elasticity (M) su...

Multidisciplinary management of congenital portosystemic shunt complicated by multifocal hepatoblastoma: a case report

Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) is a rare developmental malformation that predisposes individuals to an increased risk of hepatic tumors. Hepatoblastoma (HB) complicating CPSS is especially rare. This article reports a 2‑year‑old male with CPSS (Park type I) and HB (PRETEXT...

Equilibrium Strategies for the \({n}\)-Agent Mean-Variance Investment Problem over a Random Horizon

Abstract. We study equilibrium feedback strategies for a family of dynamic mean-variance problems with competition among a large group of agents. We assume that the time horizon is random and each agent’s risk aversion depends dynamically on the current wealth. We consider both t...

Integrating menopausal neurocognitive and psychosocial dynamics into economic behavior: the Behavioral Finance–Menopausal Cognition (BF-MC) Model (MARiE WP2A study)

Objective: Traditional behavioral finance—which examines how cognitive biases, emotions, and context shape economic decision-making— often assumes cognitive stability, rationality, and consistent risk evaluation, based largely on male-dominated samples. Emerging evidence from the...

High-Quality InSb Nanowires Grown by Molecular-Beam Epitaxy via Precise Catalyst Modulation

Abstract Semiconductor InSb nanowires are a major material candidate for topological quantum computation. The nanowires in current devices were mostly grown using metal–organic chemical vapor deposition, which is incompatible with in situ growth of superconductors, a crucial requ...

Mapping the methodological landscape of coupling carbon and electricity markets: A critical review of models, applications, and future pathways

Coupled carbon-electricity markets are increasingly important for power-sector decarbonization, but existing studies remain fragmented in their modeling objectives, assumptions, and methodological choices. To address this gap, this study develops a bibliometric-informed methodolo...

External validation of AI assisted colposcopy using WHO dataset for cervical precancer and cancer detection

Artificial intelligence (AI)-guided colposcopy has previously been developed to assist colposcopists in detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) and guiding biopsies, but internal testing of the AI model could overestimate diagnostic performance. We v...
