Abstract Background As a prevalent result of recurrent ankle sprains, chronic ankle instability (CAI) leads to persistent discomfort, impaired function, and mechanical instability. While ankle arthroscopic surgery effectively restores joint stability, its impact on psychological well-being remains u...

Whether promoting cash crop production can increase household welfare has long been the focus of the food policy debate. This study first investigated the determinants of household behavior in commercial pulse farming. It then examined how households’ commercial pulse production improves their econo...

Since geological structures around coal mines are complex, sudden coal mine water inflow is seriously threatening coal mining safety. To improve the accuracy of predicting coal mine water inflow, a multi-source dataset is collected to develop a coal mine water inflow prediction model based on multi-...

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. Verbascoside is a ubiquitous phenylethanoid glycoside with potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic properties. This study determined the renoprotective effect of verbascoside against DKD, as well a...

Angiogenic signaling pathway activation has been shown to accelerate compensatory lung growth (CLG) after unilateral pneumonectomy (PNX). Therefore, studying specific genes regulating angiogenic signaling pathways is a novel strategy to promote CLG. EdU, flow cytometry and tube formation experiments...

Whether the biochar amendment could affect soil organic matter (SOM) turnover and hence soil carbon (C) stock remains poorly understood. Effects of the addition of 13C-labelled rice straw or its pyrolysed biochar at 250 or 350°C to a sugarcane soil (Ferrosol) on soil labile C (dissolved organic C, D...

Conclusion: Methylation of the MTHFR gene Exon 2 is a protective factor for DKD and may contribute to its onset and progression through its influence on HCY levels. These findings highlight the potential of MTHFR methylation as a biomarker for DKD.

Pressure relief devices are critical for the safe release of pressurized hydrogen. To address the risk of spontaneous ignition during a high-pressure release, three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations are systematically conducted to investigate the effects of burst conditions on spontaneous ignit...

Cotton breeding for the development of early-maturing varieties is an effective way to improve multiple cropping indexes and alleviate the conflict between grains and cotton in the cultivated fields in China. In the present study, we aimed to identify upland cotton quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and...

The thalamus, a critical relay station in the brain, consists of multiple nuclei that play essential roles in various brain circuits. Identifying these nuclei is crucial for understanding how thalamic structures influence cognitive functions. However, genetic and environmental factors introduce subs...

Hyperlens consisted by period plasmonic metamaterials is an interesting technology for the optical imaging of arbitrary objects beyond the diffraction limit in the far field, which has great potential applications in nanophotonics. However, the functionality of previously presented hyperlens is limi...

ABSTRACT Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent malignant tumors in the digestive system and is the third leading cause of cancer‐related mortality. In recent years, immunotherapy has markedly enhanced the objective response and survival rates for CRC patients. However, the t...

RNA m6A modification plays a vital role in regulating cardiac function; however, its comprehensive mechanisms require further exploration. We observed that the expression of METTL3, a m6A methyltransferase, is significantly increased in hypertrophic hearts as well as during phenylephrine (PE)-induce...

Abstract Background Osteoblast senescence is a central driverof age‐related osteoporosis. Accumulating evidence shows that counteractingthis senescence can substantially mitigate bone loss. In this review, we summarize the hallmarks of osteoblast senescence, the signaling pathways involved, and ther...
