Biocatalytic Production of Piceatannol-4′-O-Glucoside Using a Novel Glycosyltransferase SoUGT from Saponaria officinalis

Abstract Piceatannol is a natural stilbene polyphenol with promising bioactivities, but its poor water solubility and low bioavailability limit industrial applications. In this study, a novel UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase, SoUGT, was identified from Saponaria officinalis for...

Beyond Surface Modulus: Shape-Aware Crack-Index Assessment of Mass Concrete Foundations Under Early-Age Thermal Stress

Abstract Early-age thermal cracking is a major serviceability and durability concern in mass-concrete foundations, especially under hot-weather construction conditions. Although surface modulus is widely used as a massivity descriptor, its ability to predict stress-based cracking...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic performance and complication profiles of ultrasound (US)-guided and computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy in pleural-contact pulmonary lesions and to evaluate technical factors associated with pneumothorax development after CT-guided biopsy....

Quantum Coherence at Macroscopic Scales: Tunneling, Interferometry, and Hybrid Networks — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Macroscopic quantum tunneling and atom interferometry demonstrate quantum coherence at large scales, with transfer learning bridging classical-quantum neural networks. | MATH: No explicit equations or constants extracted; key concept is wave-particle duality (de Broglie...

Mastering Electrocatalytic Microenvironment Achieves Aqueous Hydrogen Batteries Exceeding 200 Wh kg–1

Abstract High-safety, low-cost, and long-life aqueous hydrogen gas batteries (AHGBs) driven by hydrogen electrocatalysts are considered one of the most reliable systems in advanced aqueous batteries for large-scale energy storage. However, the rational design of low-loading and h...

A Generic Framework for Multivariate Anomaly Detection and Root-Cause Analysis Using Slow and Fast Detection in Process Industries

The digitalization of process industries via the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has introduced challenges like poor generalization, lack of interpretability, and complex multi-frequency sensor data. Most existing systems struggle to simultaneously detect anomalies and trace...

Integrated GWAS Candidate Prioritization, Moso Bamboo Transcriptome Screening and Diverse Bamboo Shoot Multi-Omics Reveal a Multi-Layer Framework for Bamboo Property Formation

Bamboo shoot development influences subsequent culm architecture and material properties, but the biological relevance of GWAS-derived candidates remains unclear. A stepwise candidate-prioritization strategy integrated 99 previously reported property-associated candidates with la...

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Real‐World Clinical Outcomes and Safety From a Tertiary Care Center in Northwest India

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is a severe autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system characterized by relapsing attacks that can result in permanent neurological disability. Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) is reco...

The genome sequence of Quercus ilex L., 1753 (Fagales: Fagaceae)

<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly of <ns5:italic>Quercus ilex</ns5:italic> (holly oak; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fagales; Fagaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 847.45 megabases and megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.65%) is scaffolded into...

IL-6 signaling drives treg dysfunction and pathogenic Th1-like polarization in major depressive disorder

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is pathologically associated with inflammatory-immune dysregulation. While regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for immune homeostasis, clinical evidence have reported paradoxical dynamics (deficiency vs. expansion) of peripheral Tregs in MDD p...

Sulforaphane Decreases the Burden of AKT1-Expressing Pre-Neoplastic Cells in a Zebrafish Model of Glioblastoma Initiation

Background: Glioblastoma is a primary aggressive brain tumor, with an average survival rate of ~14.6 months. The low therapeutic benefit of current treatments is in part due to glioblastoma-initiating cells hijacking microglia/macrophages to support tumor growth, prompting the de...

Use of waste marble powder as a cement substitute in three-dimensionally printable mortars

The potential of Tunisian marble waste as a sustainable partial substitute for cement in mortars for three-dimensional printing (3DP) for construction applications was explored. Marble powder (MP) generated from cutting and finishing processes was characterised through X-ray diff...
