Manganese dioxide cathodes offer high operating voltages and energy densities, showing great potential for use in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, their practical use has been limited by poor cycling stability caused...

Abstract Anti-angiogenic agents are widely used to treat solid tumors. We previously demonstrated that nicorandil, an angina pectoris medication, counteracted the effects of bevacizumab in a human mini-tumor model. To fu...

Abstract Background This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the safety and efficacy of emerging prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligand therapy (RLT) agents used beyond [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA in met...

Abstract Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are promising for rapid concrete repair but are hindered by excessive drying shrinkage. This study evaluates the efficacy of MgO-based (MEA), CaO-based (CSEA), and calcium sulfo...

Invasive fungal infections remain a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, with resistance to conventional antifungal agents posing an increasing challenge. Ethosomal nanocarriers have gained attention as effecti...

Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have proven to be of therapeutic potential against cancer. The feature of the surface coating can affect important properties of IONPs; it is therefore critical for further under...

IntroductionThis study explores the systems-level dynamics of menu transformation in the hospitality and food service (HaFS) sector through participatory action learning (PAL) workshops with professional chefs. Framing t...

Abstract The growing threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria calls for the urgent development of novel antimicrobial agents. Binary chalcogenide nanoparticles, particularly Ag2Se nanoparticles, have emerged as promising ...

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a genetically determined and independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) that is largely resistant to conventional lipid-lowering therapies. Novel Lp(a)-t...

Abstract The growing electricity demand and use of smart appliances are placing pressures on power grids, making efficient energy management more important than ever. The existing energy management systems often prioriti...

This study introduces Felis Catus Optimization (FCO), a novel nature‑inspired metaheuristic algorithm modeled on the ecological and adaptive behavioral dynamics of urban domestic cats. FCO divides its population into e...

High-consistency silicone rubbers can be foamed with various chemical and physical blowing agents. However, due to the toxic and, therewith, harmful effects of chemical blowing agents, physical blowing agents are becomin...

Abstract In the rapidly expanding urban frontiers of Ethiopia, informal housing is often treated as a technical failure of planning. However, this study argues that informality is a deliberate "logic of governance" media...

Abstract The reliance on fossil-derived compounds in most conventional retanning agents faces a challenge to the sustainable development of the leather industry. Consequently, the development of environmentally friendly ...

Background: Combining radiotherapy (RT) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) offers potential synergy through RT-induced immunogenic cell death and enhanced systemic immunity. However, optimal RT dose, fractionation,...

Platelets play a crucial role in atherothrombosis, as demonstrated by the effectiveness of the antiplatelet agent aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Low-dose aspiri...

Microwave ignition (MWI) technology enables synchronized large-area multi-point ignition, multi-pulse operation, higher combustion temperature and efficiency, and dynamic thrust modulation through microwave field adjustm...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Infectious keratitis (IK) is classified as a critical ophthalmic emergency, with the potential to result in vision‐impairing complications. The treatment approach involves the use of pharma...
