Weight Stigma, Body Trust, and Suicide Ideation Among Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study

ABSTRACT Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death, with rates rising during adolescence. In the United States, suicide deaths rose among 15–24‐year‐olds and more than doubled among 10–14‐year‐olds from 2008 to 2018, with one in six reporting suicidal ideation (SI) annually. W...

Cross-platformization: How U.S. right-leaning media curate their posts on Twitter and Truth Social

This study examines how seven right-leaning media organizations utilize cross-platformization strategies to reach audiences across multiple platforms; in this case, Twitter and Truth Social. Focusing on both content volume and story packaging, we collect right-leaning media organ...

Strategies to Promote HIV Self-Testing and Long-Acting Injectable PrEP Among Ghanaian Youth: Results from the Y-FIT GH National Crowdsourcing Open Call

Abstract Crowdsourcing is a participatory problem-solving approach that engages a large and diverse group of individuals to generate ideas or solutions. In HIV prevention, it provides a structured mechanism for involving youth in shaping intervention strategies. The Innovative To...

Disparities and burden of illness among hospitalized cancer patients with opioid dependence

Abstract Opoid dependency (OD) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients; nevertheless, the understanding of OD and its impact on cancer patients remains restricted. Alongside addressing the symptoms related to disease, hospitalized patients with OD al...

A Poly(lactic Acid)‐Porphyrin‐Cobalt Vaccine Adjuvant System Elicits Protein‐ or Peptide‐Specific Humoral and Cellular Immunity

ABSTRACT There is growing interest in vaccine adjuvant systems that are scalable, adaptable, and capable of stimulating humoral and cellular immune responses with recombinant protein or synthetic peptide immunogens. In this study, we introduced a “plug‐and‐play” nanoadjuvant syst...

Gradient Orbital Coupling in Mn‐Doped Asymmetric Units Amplifies Red Emission of NH 4 CdCl 3 for X‐Ray Scintillation Imaging

ABSTRACT Halide perovskites are promising for applications in light‐emitting diodes, multilevel anti‐counterfeiting, and radiation detection due to their excellent luminescence properties. Mn 2+ doping can further tailor the optical properties of perovskites, yet its microscopic...

Optimal Mixing for Randomly Sampling Edge Colorings on Trees Down to the Max Degree

Abstract. We address the convergence rate of Markov chains for randomly generating an edge coloring of a given tree. Our focus is on the Glauber dynamics, which updates the color at a randomly chosen edge in each step. For a tree [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] verti...

Hex -MASP for mapping the whole-tissue spatial proteome and the intrabrain distribution of monoclonal antibodies

Abstract Whole-tissue spatial proteomics level provides critical insights into region-specific biological regulations but remains challenging. Previously, we introduced the Micro-scaffold Assisted Spatial Proteomics (MASP) concept for whole-tissue mapping. However, this prototype...

Multiscale physical effects of CpG methylation on DNA mechanics, nucleosome wrapping, and chromatin condensates

DNA methylation at CpG dinucleotides is a central epigenetic modification linked to transcriptional repression and heterochromatin formation, yet its physical impact on chromatin organization remains incompletely understood. Here, we integrate single-molecule force spectroscopy,...

Hypertensive stretch regulates endothelial cell inflammation and apoptosis through ceramide metabolism

Hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are associated with elevated plasma levels of ceramides (Cer), a type of membrane sphingolipids (SPLs). Increased cellular Cer levels are known to cause vascular endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction. However, Cer metabolism changes due t...

Microsynteny Analysis Clarifies the Early Diversification of Cypriniform Fishes

While genomic data are powerfully informative for phylogenetic inference, traditional sequence-based analyses can be confounded by issues like homoplasy and incomplete lineage sorting, leaving deep nodes unresolved. Synteny, the conservation of gene order along a chromosome, pres...

Epidemiology and Species Distribution of Candida Bloodstream Infections in a Comprehensive Cancer Center, 2008–2023

Abstract Introduction Candida bloodstream infections remain a significant complication of malignancies and their therapies. Aim To investigate the epidemiology of Candida species causing bloodstream infections in patients with malignancies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed blo...

Characterization of the Polysaccharide and Protein Composition of Neurospora crassa Conidium, Perithecium, and Ascospore Cell Walls

We carried out carbohydrate composition and carbohydrate linkage analyses on Neurospora crassa cell walls from vegetative hyphae, conidia (asexual spores), perithecia (female mating structures), and ascospores (sexual spores). We show that the composition and structure of the cel...

From Ancient Legends to Pixels: Reconstructing Ancient Esna Landscape with GIS and Remote Sensing

Abstract. This paper develops a text-driven reconstruction of the ritual landscape associated with the Festival of Seizing the Staff at Esna, Upper Egypt. Temple inscriptions are treated as relational evidence encoding sequence, adjacency, orientation, thresholds, and ritual func...

Mapping Nearshore Cladophora in Lake Ontario: An Automated Open-Source Sentinel-2 Workflow and Experimental Index

Abstract. Acquiring high-quality Sentinel-2 images is a key first step for nearshore remote-sensing studies, but scene-level cloud metadata can be misleading when the research window is small. This paper presents an open-source, local cloud-aware workflow for two Lake Ontario reg...

Maladaptive immune-fibrotic axis drives impaired long bone regeneration under mechanical instability

Delayed and nonhealing fractures, affecting 5 to 10% of cases, are associated with prolonged disability and diminished quality of life. Although acute inflammation is required to initiate repair, persistent mechanical instability can sustain maladaptive immune and fibrotic respon...
