Precision mRNA Delivery via Ultrasound‐Controlled Release Perfluorocarbon Emulsions: An Innovative Ultrasound Theranostic Strategy with 19F MRI Feasibility

Small, EarlyView.
A key challenge in advancing messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics in cardiovascular diseases lies in achieving controlled release at the precise site within the vasculature. This study presents the development of perfluorocarbon nanodroplets with exceptional theranostic potential, enabling real‐time tracking through ultrasound and fluorine‐19 (19F ...

Advanced Characterization and Rejuvenation of End‐Of‐Life Lithium‐Ion Anodes: Toward the Development of a Green Upcycling Route

Small, EarlyView.
Green solvents (DI water or ascorbic acid) enable the regeneration of end‐of‐vehicle‐life battery anodes without delamination and re‐manufacture. Multimodal characterizations reveal several graphite microstructures and crystallography, and restored cycling performance.

AML‐Net: Attention‐based multi‐scale lightweight model for brain tumour segmentation in internet of medical things

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Brain tumour segmentation employing MRI images is important for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning. Till now, many encoder‐decoder architectures have been developed for this purpose, with U‐Net being the most extensively utilised. However, these architectures require a lot of parameters to train and have a semantic gap. Some

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...
