Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 16, April 20, 2026.
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

IL‐15 Links Muscle–Kidney Crosstalk to Preserving Podocyte Mitochondrial Fusion and Attenuating Diabetic Nephropathy

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives High glucose induces mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes, contributing to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). There is increasing evidence that muscles play a protective role by secreting myokines into the kidneys. Here, we investigated how skeletal muscle influences podocyte health via muscle–kidney crosstalk.

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

Feasibility Study for Dual Phase Free Breathing 3D bSSFP MRA With Preserved Eddy‐Current Tolerance With Adaptive k‐Space Lengths (PETAL) Acquisition

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2078-2091, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of a novel dual‐phase self‐navigated, free‐breathing balanced steady‐state free‐precession whole‐heart MRA acquisition for aortic annulus size measurement using a Cartesian trajectory that mitigates eddy‐current artifacts by minimizing k‐space jumps between consecutive readouts with predictable scan times.
