Dynamic fate of beige adipocytes in fat grafting and inflammatory regulation

Autologous fat grafting is widely used in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, but its success is limited by unpredictable graft survival. Recent studies have found that white adipocytes within fat grafts can transform into beige adipocytes—a process called browning—yet whether t...

Applications of ship digital twins in maritime transport: A systematic review

Ship digital twins are increasingly recognised as enabling technologies for intelligent and sustainable maritime transport; however, their large-scale deployment remains constrained by significant technical, operational, and organisational challenges. To address the fragmented na...

Antihypertensive Treatment and Risk of Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease: A Drug-Target Mendelian Randomization

BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, conventionally known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affects over a quarter of the global population and lacks approved pharmacological treatments. We investigated whether elevated blood pressure (BP)...

Conformation-Regulated Thiazole Solid Additive for Manipulating Molecular Stacking Behavior Enables over 20% Efficiency in Bilayer Organic Solar Cells

Abstract The additive strategy is an effective approach for optimizing morphology of the active layer in organic solar cells (OSCs). To elucidate the impact of distinct molecular conformations of additives on morphology regulation, this work investigates two novel brominated thia...

The Impact of Short-Term Second Language Training on Executive Function in Low-Income Primary Students in China

The present study investigated whether higher amounts of second language experience, operationalized as the number of English learning sessions (10 vs. 20), enhance executive functions in 10- to 11-year-old Chinese pupils from a rural township in central China. Using a quasi-expe...

Comparative evaluation of dental pulp and periodontal ligament stem cell sheets for rescuing periodontal-like tissue formation in cryopreserved tooth autotransplantation

Autologous tooth transplantation (ATT) is a biologically based approach for the management of tooth loss, particularly among adolescents. However, its broader application is limited by challenges associated with tooth cryopreservation and stem cell-based strategies, and current s...

StrongerSORT: Improving DeepSORT for Stronger Human Tracking

Human tracking plays a crucial role in video surveillance systems. However, tracking humans in surveillance videos remains challenging because targets are often captured at long distances, occupy only a small number of pixels, and exhibit substantial scale variations. These chall...

Integrated Multi‐Omics Analysis Identifies HVCN1 as a Potential Mediator in Neuroendocrine–Tumor Interactions in Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate associations among sleep‐related features, neuroendocrine alterations, and colorectal cancer (CRC)‐related molecular programs, and to identify candidate genes involved in hypothalamus–tumor interactions. Methods NHANES data were analyzed to asses...

Source-Free Domain Adaptation with Vision-Language Prior

Abstract Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA) seeks to adapt a source model, which is pre-trained on a supervised source domain, for a target domain, with only access to unlabeled target training data. Relying on pseudo labeling and/or auxiliary supervision, conventional methods...

MUCL1 functions as a tumor suppressor in skin melanoma by inhibiting epithelial–mesenchymal transition

This study aims to analyze the global burden of skin melanoma from 1990 to 2021 and explore the clinical significance and mechanistic role of Mucin-Like Protein 1 (MUCL1) in the metastasis of skin melanoma. Global burden data from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the Global Burde...

Atomic Defect-Mediated Charge Trapping Enables Multimodal Plasticity in van der Waals Heterostructures for In-Sensor Neuromorphic Vision

Abstract Neuromorphic hardware that unifies sensing, memory, and learning at the device level remains challenging due to limited optoelectronic comodulation and rigid architectures. Here, we report a flexible, van der Waals (vdW)-integrated MoS2/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/gra...

Cascaded‐Gain‐Amplified Fiber Microcavity Laser With Attomolar Detection Limit

ABSTRACT Optical fiber microcavities have attracted considerable interest for their potential in developing multi‐color microlasers and high‐performance sensors. Owing to their high Q‐factor‐enhanced light‐matter interaction, fiber microcavity lasers have been extensively investi...

Intraoral dental caries detection based on mask-regularized vision transformer

Accurate detection of dental caries supports early intervention; however, many deep-learning approaches require dense pixel-level annotations for every image, which are costly to obtain and limit scalability. Models trained with limited supervision may also rely on spurious visua...
