Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progression may be influenced by non-smoking environmental exposures, especially among never-smokers and environmentally exposed populations. Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are relevant because they persist in air...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality globally. Tschimgine (Tsc), a naturally occurring terpenoid from Ferula ovina , has exhibited potent anticancer activity in preclinical models. However, its ability to enhance the sensitivity of...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common metabolic disorder in pregnancy and is associated with an increased risk of maternal complications and future development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. While glycemia is expected to normalize after delivery due to loss of placental h...

CAR T cell therapy beyond cancer: current status, challenges and future prospects
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized oncology, and its foundational logic-precise antigen recognition coupled with durable effector activity-extends naturally to chronic non-malignant diseases sustained by long-lived pathological cells. These include...

Abstract Asking whether a lower-level science can explain a higher-level one usually produces an argument rather than a result, because the question conflates objects that behave differently. This paper separates them, and downgrades V1’s central equation to a pair of bounds — th...
- Physics & SpaceOpen access
This work develops a coupled backward stochastic differential equation framework for metastable transition precursors in a stochastically forced Duffing oscillator. The nonlinear oscillator evolves forward under additive noise, while two coupled backward fields are introduced to...

Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging bat-borne zoonotic pathogen of significance causing fatal encephalitis in South-East and South-Asia including India. This study describes the in-house development and application of a recombinant nucleocapsid (rN) protein based indirect-ELISA for...
- Engineering & TechnologyOpen access
Computational resources required for solving NP-complete problems grow exponentially with a polynomial increase in problem size. This exponentially increasing computational resource is runtime for sequential electronic computers and space for massively parallel DNA computing. Her...

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) remain a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity in the United States. Despite advances in care, recent data suggest a rising prevalence. Using National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) National Vital Statistics System (NVSS)...

Child sex trafficking (CST) has significant, long-term health consequences for children and their families. Given higher risk of CST for middle school-aged children, the significant time spent by students in schools under staff supervision, and the opportunity to provide CST prev...

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions. However, acquired resistance remains a major challenge, necessitating strategies to prolong therapeutic efficacy. This st...

B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) drive the galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) production that underlies IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Several BAFF/APRIL-pathway inhibitors have entered randomized testing, but none has been compared head-to-hea...

Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks among leading causes of male cancer mortality, but PSA screening lacks specificity. Metabolic dysregulation drives PCa pathogenesis; however, composite metabolic indices remain underexplored. The ZJU index—integrating BMI, fasting glucose, triglyceride...

Somatic mutations are unevenly distributed across the genome, with certain loci recurrently mutated across independent tumors. Both local DNA sequence context and chromatin organization have been associated with mutation rate variation, yet their combined effects at single-nucleo...

Vaginitis is a common chronic condition among genital tract infections. Its sensitive anatomical location and tendency to recur not only impact individual health but also affect psychological well-being and coping strategies. This study aimed to identify latent profiles of stigma...

The Carlo Temporal Engine: A Reconstruction of Time A systems-theory framework that reconstructs time not as a fundamental dimension, but as an emergent behaviour of recursive systems. Across seven "unfolding passes," the paper develops time as a stability artefact generated to p...
