Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Dynamics, Disease Progression, and Therapy Response in Multiple Sclerosis

Importance: Capturing individual multiple sclerosis (MS) progression is difficult; few studies have evaluated glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in large longitudinal cohorts with independent validation. Objective: To investigate whether serum GFAP levels and treatment-relate...

Carboplatin/Paclitaxel can be an effective alternative for cisplatin-ineligible patients with locally advanced HNSCC

Abstract Background Despite considerable therapeutic advances, a significant evidence gap remains regarding optimal treatment strategies for cisplatin-unfit patients and whether carboplatin/paclitaxel represents a valid therapeutic alternative. This study investigates the treatme...

Atomic-precision π-driven peptide hydrogel nanofibers with ordered water channels

Aromatic interactions organize molecules into ordered supramolecular architectures, while peptides form functional soft materials through hydrogen bonding and water-mediated assembly. In peptide-based systems, strong aromatic stacking is typically achieved by terminal capping, wh...

Electoral outcomes of party families across regional development types in Europe

Abstract. The interplay between regional disparities and electoral outcomes is central to understanding political dynamics in Europe. In debates on the “geography of discontent”, radical-right party support is often linked to so-called left-behind regions. This study broadens tha...
