Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators

ABSTRACT Kv7 voltage‐gated potassium channels play a critical role in controlling electrical properties of excitable tissues. Neuronally‐expressed Kv7 channels are involved in both common and rare neuropsychiatric disorders, ranging from epilepsy to depression and neurodegenerati...

Dream experiences and psychological distress: a network analysis of pathological worry, depression, anxiety, and stress

Abstract Dreaming has long been implicated in emotional processing, yet the complex relationships between specific dream experiences and different dimensions of psychological distress remain insufficiently understood. This study explored the network relationships between dream-re...

Board characteristics and market power

I assess the extent to which board structure and composition affect market power. I focus on Italian listed banks over the period 2008–2022. I use a two-stage procedure: I first estimate bank-level Lerner indices, then I regress these market power indicators on a set of variables...

XR in cultural heritage: a comparative study of motivation, presence, and engagement across 360° virtual tours, VR, and AR at the archaeological site of Villa Regina

Abstract As immersive technologies gain prominence in cultural heritage, understanding their specific experiential qualities has emerged as a central research challenge. This study presents a rigorously controlled comparative analysis of three immersive systems: virtual reality (...

Conormal problem for a kind of nonlinear elliptic equations

Abstract We study the global boundedness of weak solutions to a class of nonlinear elliptic equations in bounded Lipschitz domains, subject to conormal boundary conditions. Using techniques from Morrey space theory, Adams-Maz’ya trace inequalities, and higher integrability proper...

Critical Life Cycle Assessment Review of the Environmental Impact of Fuel Cells in a More Sustainable Transport Sector

Fuel cells (FCs) are critical for decarbonizing the transport industry, with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) serving as the standard evaluation framework. However, existing literature exhibits severe methodological heterogeneities and divergent system boundaries that introduce deep e...

Combined Fine Needle Cytology and Core Needle Biopsy of the Liver in One Setting: An Experience of 29 Cases

INTRODUCTION: Core needle biopsy (CNB) and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) are routinely used in the diagnosis of hepatic nodules. Despite their advantages, both procedures have certain limitations. Recently, the combined use of FNAC and CNB in the same setting has been ex...

Lumbar Plexus Disorders Presenting as Low Back Pain: A Narrative Review of a Practical Diagnostic Imaging Approach

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common causes of medical consultation worldwide and is typically attributed to degenerative spinal disorders. However, a subset of patients presents with LBP related to extra-spinal conditions, including disorders of the lumbar plexus. These...

When Green Behavior Meets Its Limits: A Competitive Mediation Model of Employee Green Behavior and Organizational Identity in Public Organizations

ABSTRACT This study examines the interplay between green employee behavior (GEB), climate change proactive perception (CCPP), and green organizational identity (GOI) in Italian public organizations. Challenging the dominant perception‐first paradigm, we propose and test a model c...

Ammonia-Responsive Gelatin/Co–MOF Composite Films Based on Gallic Acid-Derived Metal–Organic Frameworks for Intelligent Food Packaging

Ammonia-responsive gelatin-based composite films containing cobalt metal–organic frameworks (Co–MOFs) synthesized using gallic acid as an organic ligand were developed and evaluated as intelligent packaging materials. Co–MOFs were incorporated into gelatin films at concentrations...

Discoveryof High-Affinity Peptide Ligands Targetingthe SPIN1 Tudor 3 Domain Via a Minimalist Pruning Strategy

Abstract Spindlin1 (SPIN1) is an epigenetic reader involved in oncology, whose third Tudor domain remains largely underexplored. Here, we applied a minimalist pruning strategy to the 26-mer peptide DOCpep3 to identify the core pharmacophore for SPIN1 Tudor 3 domain binding. This...

Image Inpainting in 30 Years: A Survey

ABSTRACT As a fundamental task in restoring continuous visual signals, image inpainting plays a critical role in autonomous driving perception, medical imaging, video editing and digital heritage preservation. Driven by deep learning and large‐scale generative models, the field h...

Role of Biostimulants in Wheat: Nutritional Quality and Resistance to Abiotic Stresses, a Systematic Review

Wheat is a major staple crop, and improving its productivity and grain quality is essential to meet rising global food demand. Biostimulants have attracted growing interest because they can enhance nutrient use efficiency, improve tolerance to environmental stresses, and support...
