Advances and projects of immunomodulatory biomaterials used for immunotherapy
Abstract Immunotherapy is employed to manage systemic hyperactivation or hypoactivation for the treatment of various diseases. Biomaterial-based immunotherapy systems have the potential to enhance therapeutic outcomes through mechanisms such as targeted drug delivery and immuno-e...

The EnPlace® Device for Advanced Apical Prolapse: Anatomical Outcomes and Long-Term Satisfaction
Background: Apical pelvic organ prolapse remains a considerable surgical challenge given its comparatively high recurrence rates. The EnPlace® device provides a mesh-free, minimally invasive option for sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF). This study evaluates the long-term safe...

Obesity policy in Portugal: epidemiology, sociology and the limits of prevention
Abstract Obesity prevention has become a prominent public health priority in Portugal, yet policy responses continue to engage unevenly with the social conditions through which obesity is produced and distributed. This paper examines Portuguese obesity policy through an integrate...
- Materials & Energy
Abstract In modern electronic devices, active control of heat transport is essential for performance and reliability, yet most existing approaches to thermal conductivity modulation are irreversible and fixed after synthesis. Here, we propose a reversible thermal conductivity reg...

The Association Between Price and Household Purchasing of No-Alcohol Beer in Great Britain and Spain
Background: The ethanol in alcoholic beverages is toxic to human health. Reducing alcohol-related harm, a major public health priority, requires reductions in the amount of ethanol consumed. Alongside policies that increase alcohol prices and restrict availability, encouraging su...

Object Detection in Small-Sample Underwater Sonar Images Using Improved YOLOv11
Underwater object detection in sonar images is challenging because of low image resolution, acoustic noise, seabed clutter, weak target boundaries, substantial target-scale variation, and limited labeled data. To address these challenges, we develop an improved You Only Look Once...

Characterization of the MeWRKY12–MeSSIV Regulatory Module and MeWRKY12 Promoter Activity in Cassava
Background: Soluble starch synthases are essential for starch formation, but their transcriptional regulation remains poorly understood in cassava. Starch synthase IV (SSIV) is an important enzyme in starch biosynthesis, and this study aimed to investigate the transcriptional reg...
