Abstract The combination of optical fiber and phototheranostic agents has emerged as a promising strategy to address the challenges of limited light penetration depth and systemic toxicity of nanomaterials. However, the ...

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is very sensitive to magnetic and electric fields, strain, and temperature. In addition, it is possible to optically interrogate individual defects, making it an ideal quantum-...

In this opinion, we describe the potential of an emerging class of flat optics known as “nonlocal metasurfaces” to manipulate light in both real space and momentum space. While the ultimate form of a conventional “...

Hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) undergo significant optical, chemical, surface, and mechanical changes upon prolonged ultraviolet (UV) exposure. We assessed a commercial hydrophobic acrylic IOL using an acc...

We present the design for a novel type of dual-band photodetector in the thermal infrared spectral range, the Optically Controlled Dual-band quantum dot Infrared Photodetector (OCDIP). This concept is based on a quantum ...

This article intends to describe a process of transformation recently affecting the whole Europe. It is the progressive overcoming of welfare State traditionally meant as garantuee for all citizens of the essential servi...

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by structural and functional impairments in the kidneys, affecting around 10–15% of the global population. Kidney transplantation from l...

The governance of protected areas plays a key role in preserving biodiversity and fostering sustainable development, particularly through nature-based tourism. This paper introduces the Robustness Supply Tourism Index (R...

The need for sustainable protein alternatives has led to an exploration of edible insects as meat extenders. This study investigated the feasibility of reducing beef content in burgers by incorporating insect-based ingre...

Animal promoters initiate transcription either at precise positions (narrow promoters) or dispersed regions (broad promoters), a distinction referred to as promoter shape. Although highly conserved, the functional proper...

Abstract Introduction Difficult tracheal intubation remains a critical issue in airway management. While videolaryngoscopy (VL), particularly using hyperangulated blades such as the C-MAC D-Blade, has become the gold sta...

Abstract Background Suicide attempts constitute a significant public health emergency, with Emergency Departments (EDs) serving as a primary point of contact for individuals in acute psychiatric crisis. This observationa...

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are becoming a key tool for plenty of applications, from the mid-infrared (mid-IR) to the THz range. Progress in related areas, such as the development of ultra-low-loss crystalline microres...

ABSTRACT Background Outcome‐based cardiac risk stratification schemes are lacking for preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). The Mitral INsufficiency Echocardiographic (MINE) score was developed as an easy...

Abstract Spinster homolog 2 (SPNS2) exports the bioactive sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) out of cells to regulate processes important for health and diseases. However, the molecular mechanism under...

Abstract The food enzyme with two declared activities, bacillolysin (EC 3.4.24.28) and subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.62) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AR‐383 by AB Enzymes Gm...

Abstract The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain NZYM‐AL by Novozymes A/S. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously and it ...

Abstract The food enzyme AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.6) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus subtilis strain CCTCC M 2023264 by Angel Yeast Co., Ltd. The production strain of the food enzyme...

Abstract The food enzyme containing cellulase (1,4‐(1,3;1,4)‐β‐d‐glucan‐4‐glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.4) and endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase (3‐(1,3,1,4)‐β‐d‐glucan 3(4)‐glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.6...

Abstract The food enzyme glucan 1,4‐α‐maltotetraohydrolase (4‐α‐D‐glucan maltotetraohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.60) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain DP‐Dzf95 by Genencor inter...

Abstract The food enzyme pectin lyase (1,4‐6‐O‐methyl‐α‐D‐galacturonan lyase; EC 4.2.2.10) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus luchuensis strain LC‐07 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Lt...

Context The very early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (VEDOSS) criteria were developed to diagnose systemic sclerosis (SSc) at a very early stage. However, several studies have applied these criteria inconsistently, oft...

Abstract Background Migraine burden is over twice as high among females than males. Although sex differences are recognized in migraine, robust sex-specific guidance for management remains limited. Objective To systemati...

Static metasurfaces offer precise control over light but lack reconfigurability, limiting their use in dynamic applications. Introducing tunability via external stimuli, such as magnetic fields, enables active control of...
