Zr Incorporation Into Lithium Nickel Oxides: Bulk or Surface Substitution?

Genomic Divergence and Variation in Developmental Plasticity Across Inselberg Populations of a Tropical Frog.

Potential of Radioactive Isotopes Production in DEMO for Commercial Use

There is widespread use of nuclear radiation for medical imagery and treatments. Worldwide, almost 40 million treatments are performed per year. There are also applications of radiation sources in other commercial fields, e.g., for weld ins...

Embodied science and mixed reality: How gesture and motion capture affect physics education

Abstract A mixed design was created using text and game-like multimedia to instruct in the content of physics. The study assessed which variables predicted learning gains after a 1-h lesson on the electric field. The three manipulated varia...

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON EUROPEAN AND TURKEY AIR TRAFFIC NETWORKS

Covid-19, which was defined as a result of research conducted in a group of patients developing respiratory symptoms in late December 2019 in Wuhan province of China, spread to other countries in a very short time by infecting from people t...

Vape Smoking: Prevalence and Perception among Damnhour University Students

Background: E-cigarette or vape smoking is becoming a worldwide concern, yet vapinginformation is not widespread among Middle Eastern university students. The paper offers the pattern ofvape smoking in Damnhour University, Egypt, which uses...

Evolution of use and overuse of triptans in Austria – What has changed in the last 15 years?

Abstract Background Triptans are highly effective acute treatments for migraine attacks, yet population-level data suggest persistent underuse. Updated real-world data on triptan use and overuse in Austria are lacking. Methods This nationwi...

The number of androgen receptor CAG repeats and mortality in men

Introduction The androgen receptor (AR) mediates peripheral effects of testosterone. Evidence suggests that the number of CAG repeats in exon-1 of the AR gene negatively correlates with AR transcriptional activity. The aim of this analysis ...

Evaluation of Respiratory Protection Program in Petrochemical Industries: Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process

Background: Respiratory protection equipment (RPE) is the last resort to control exposure to workplace air pollutants. A comprehensive respiratory protection program (RPP) ensures that RPE is selected, used, and cared properly. Therefore, R...

The impact of globalization and climate change on Trichinella spp. epidemiology

The main reservoir hosts of nematodes of the genus Trichinella are wild carnivores, although most human infections are caused by the consumption of pork. This group of zoonotic parasites completes the entire natural life cycle within the ho...

Diversity of Rickettsia species in collected ticks from Southeast Iran

Abstract Rickettsia occurs worldwide and rickettsiosis is recognized as an emerging infection in several parts of the world. Ticks are reservoir hosts for pathogenic Rickettsia species in humans and domestic animals. Most pathogenic Rickett...

Receptor allostery promotes context-specific Sonic Hedgehog signaling during embryonic development

Abstract Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling functions in temporal- and context-dependent manners to pattern diverse tissues during embryogenesis. The signal transducer Smoothened (SMO) is induced by sterols, oxysterols, and arachidonic acid (AA...

All the Same? The Secret Life of Prion Strains within Their Target Cells

Prions are infectious β-sheet-rich protein aggregates composed of misfolded prion protein (PrPSc) that do not possess coding nucleic acid. Prions replicate by recruiting and converting normal cellular PrPC into infectious isoforms. In ...

How <i>Phytophthora</i> Effectors Disrupt Post-Translational Regulation in Plant Immunity: Canonical and Non-Canonical Mechanisms

Plant–pathogen interactions are shaped by dynamic regulatory processes that control immune signaling. Among these, post-translational modifications (PTMs) play central roles in modulating protein activity, stability, and interaction network...

Molecular MRI Reveals Macrophage-Enriched Peritumoral Immune Remodeling After Incomplete Ablation in Liver Cancer.

Evidence of aberrant anti-epstein-barr virus antibody response, though no viral reactivation, in people with post-stroke fatigue

Abstract Background Fatigue is a common complication of stroke that has a significant impact on quality of life. The biological mechanisms that underly post-stroke fatigue are currently unclear, however, reactivation of latent viruses and t...

Heme iron amplifies azoxymethane initiating effect on rat colon preneoplastic lesions

Objective: Colorectal cancer is a major public health issue for which dietary factors such as red and processed meat consumption seem to play a prominent role. Heme iron, which is present in important concentration in those food products, w...

Atrial fibrillation signals associated with overactive bladder drugs across JADER and FAERS: disproportionality and time-to-onset analyses

IntroductionOveractive bladder (OAB) drugs are widely prescribed, yet the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after treatment initiation remains poorly characterized.MethodsWe evaluated reports of AF associated with OAB medications using...

Immunoediting in acute myeloid leukemia: Reappraising T cell exhaustion and the aberrant antigen processing machinery in leukemogenesis

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) establishes an immunosuppressive microenvironment that favors leukemic proliferation. The immune-suppressive cytokines altered antigen processing, and presentation collectively assist AML cells in escaping cytot...
