Diagnostic and Therapeutic Properties of Exosomes in Cardiac Fibrosis

Cardiac fibrosis results from both the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to myocardial stiffness and reduced compliance of the ventricular wall. The conversion of cardia...

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community perinatal mental health services on access, experience, recovery/relapse and obstetric and neonate outcomes: the ESMI-II mixed-methods study

Background Perinatal mental health disorders affect one in five mothers during pregnancy or within 2 years post childbirth. These disorders can lead to poor pregnancy and childbirth outcomes and maternal deaths. Additionally, they negativel...

Segmentation Clock Networks in Vertebrate Somitogenesis

In vertebrate embryonic development, the segmentation clock controls the cyclic formation of somites through presomitic mesoderm (PSM) cells. Somites are paired segmented structures along the anterior-posterior axis that eventually develop ...

Decellularized Placental Sponge: A Platform for Coculture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells/Macrophages to Assess an M2 Phenotype and Osteogenic Differentiation In Vitro and In Vivo

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the study, production and controlled manipulation of materials with a grain size < 100 nm. At this level, the laws of classical mechanics fall away and those of quantum mechanics take over, resulting in unique behaviour of...

Hybrid coatings for orthopaedic implants formed by physical vapour deposition and microarc oxidation

This study is focused on the preparation of new hybrid layers intended for surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V alloys for potential orthopaedic and dental applications. Combination of the technology of physical vapour deposition (PVD) and sub...

Roles of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD)

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in the morbidity and mortality of diabet...

Algae-Mamba: A Spatially Variable Mamba for Algae Extraction From Remote Sensing Images

To maintain marine ecosystem health, effective algae monitoring is essential. Traditional threshold-based methods and standard machine learning techniques often fall short in accurately and automatically distinguishing algae types. This stu...

Estimating climate-induced ‘Nowhere to go’ range shifts of the Himalayan Incarvillea Juss. using multi-model median ensemble species distribution models

Global climate change threatens the range and resilience of species in the major biodiversity, particularly those in mountain regions. As the climatic conditions at high altitudes becomes suitable for colonization, many alpine plants experi...

Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Genetic Variation and Selection Signals in <i>Fusarium acuminatum</i> Causing <i>Astragalus</i> Root Rot

Astragalus root rot is a soil-borne disease primarily caused by Fusarium spp., which severely hampers the sustainable development of the Astragalus industry. F. acuminatum is a predominant pathogen causing this disease. To elucidate the gen...
