Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...

Glomerulus-Targeted Nanotherapy via Collagen IV-α3 Binding Enhances Renal Immunoregulation in Lupus Nephritis

Lupus nephritis requires long-term immunosuppressive therapy, which is often associated with severe systemic side effects. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies that maintain high efficacy while minimizing adverse effects is essential. Although nanomedicine has advanced systemic...

Sonoselective Transfection of Glioma Endothelium

ABSTRACT The blood‐brain and blood‐tumor barriers impede therapeutic delivery to glioblastoma (GBM). Furthermore, dysfunctional endothelial cells in GBM enable an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and enhance therapeutic resistance. However, the significance of endot...

Prefix-sum encoding for quantum annealing with application to haplotype inference

Quantum annealing promises advantages for combinatorial optimization, but current hardware remains limited by sparse qubit connectivity. Encoding constrained problems onto these devices typically requires auxiliary variables that introduce dense couplings, degrading performance....

The Work of Concepts: Interpretation, Power, and Modernity in Conversation with Isaac Ariail Reed

In this interview, Isaac Ariail Reed discusses the place of theory in contemporary sociology and the conceptual trajectory that connects interpretation, explanation, power, and modernity in his work. Starting from his intellectual formation and his engagement with the Strong Prog...

Prognostic Stratification of Brain Metastases from Nonanaplastic Follicular Cell–Derived Thyroid Carcinoma: Results of an International Multicenter Retrospective Study

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) from nonanaplastic follicular cell–derived thyroid carcinoma (hereinafter referred to as non-ATC) are rare and not well characterized, with limited evidence guiding treatment and prognostic stratification. We aimed to describe clinical features,...

Pregnancy and Early Parenting Experiences of Persons With Disabilities

Background: Persons with disabilities (PWD) are as likely as their nondisabled peers to become pregnant, yet their experiences of pregnancy and early parenthood remain poorly understood. We aimed to explore the experiences of PWD during pregnancy and the postpartum period, with p...

Neonatal Point-of-Care Lung Ultrasonography: Techniques and Normal Findings

Point-of-care lung ultrasonography (POC-LUS) has become a routine bedside tool for evaluating respiratory status in many neonatal intensive care units. This article walks neonatologists through the fundamentals of its application-probe selection, system setup, and image acquisiti...

Mechanisms of Association of Maternal Education and Intent to Vaccinate Children Against COVID-19

BACKGROUND Although higher maternal education is positively associated with many child health–promoting practices, it is more complicated for child vaccination, and the explanatory mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to examine mechanisms underlying the association of maternal ed...
