Self-supervised contrastive learning has emerged as one of the most successful deep learning paradigms. In this regard, it has seen extensive use in image registration and, more recently, in the particular field of medical image registration. In this work, we propose to test and extend and improve a state-of-the-art framework for color fundus image ...

Emotional nourishment begets academic coping during the primary to secondary school transition
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The transition from primary to secondary school is widely viewed as the most demanding in a child's educational journey. Despite a wealth of research on this transition, little is known about the children's ‘lived experience’ of it across different contexts.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.A novel puromycin linker for cDNA display was synthesized via SPAAC reaction. Its functionality was confirmed by recovering intact DNA after selection against EpCAM. The system also enabled the verification of bicyclic peptides during display, demonstrating its utility for constructing and screening structurally complex peptide libraries.

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases
BMEMat, EarlyView.This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...

Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy
BMEMat, EarlyView.Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...
