The underlying cause of the destroyed lung is changing: a clinico-radiological study
Abstract Background A destroyed lung (DL) is the complete destruction of the lung due to chronic infections, particularly tuberculosis (TB). To diagnose DL, one must demonstrate radiologically significant damage to the lung, in addition to clinical features. This study aims to de...

Engineering root development with high precision
Root development is controlled by dynamic interactions between gene regulation, hormonal signalling, developmental history and environmental inputs, creating multiple layers of control that can be harnessed for engineering. Recent advances in single-cell technologies, spatial tra...

The CARM1–YIPF2 axis drives breast cancer progression and predicts poor prognosis
Objective To investigate the roles of CARM1 and its regulatory effect on YIPF2 in breast cancer progression. Methods Breast cancer cells were transfected with CARM1 siRNA to knock down CARM1 expression. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed using Ed...

Microbiome Targeted Therapies for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a rare, progressive cholestatic liver disease of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts with poor prognosis. The only life-extending treatment for PSC is liver transplantation, with up to 25% of post-transplant patients developing recurrent...

The representation of order and randomness in the auditory cortex
Perception fundamentally relies on the brain’s ability to extract structure from its sensory environment. The auditory cortex possesses significant sensitivity to statistical regularities in tone sequences. To examine this phenomenon at the single-neuron level, we used multitone...
