On the Relentless Pursuit of an Oral Insulin Delivery System: How Far is Too Far?
Injectable insulin preparations have far outpaced oral ones by virtue of adequate bioavailability and are driven by innovations, including insulin pumps, real‐time blood glucose monitoring, and artificial intelligence. In contrast, oral insulin delivery systems, including nanomedicines, continue to struggle and lag due to varied reasons.

Assessment of Pollutant Spread from a Building Basement with three Ventilation Systems [PDF]
Ventilation aims at providing a sufficient air renewal for ensuring a good indoor air quality (IAQ), yet building energy policies are leading to adapting various ventilation strategies minimising energy losses through air renewal. A recent IAQ evaluation campaign in French dwellings shows important pollution of living spaces by VOCs such as ...

Dynamic DNA Processing: A Microcode Model of Cell Differentiation [PDF]
A general theoretical framework is put forth to organize and understand various observed phenomena and mathematical relationships in the field of molecular biology. By modeling each cell in eukaryotic organisms as a processor having a unique set of allowed states, represented by a specific DNA sequence, we demonstrate a method by which gene expression ...

Bayesian Model-Averaged Benchmark Dose Analysis Via Reparameterized Quantal-Response Models [PDF]
An important objective in biomedical risk assessment is estimation of minimum exposure levels that induce a pre-specified adverse response in a target population. The exposure/dose points in such settings are known as Benchmark Doses (BMDs). Recently, parametric Bayesian estimation for finding BMDs has become popular.

Identifying biomarkers associated with PTC, particularly those related to PTMC progression, is crucial for precise risk stratification and treatment planning. This study utilized single‐cell RNA sequencing on 19 surgical tissue specimens, confirmed PROS1/MERTK axis as a critical component of the cellular microenvironment and a key regulatory mechanism ...
