Mesenchymal stem cells as cellular factories for targeted P2X7 blockade after traumatic brain injury

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
This manuscript presents a novel therapeutic strategy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) engineered as living drug factories to deliver a P2X7‐blocking nanobody for treatment of ischemic stroke. By combining targeted cellular delivery with sustained local immunomodulation, the approach aims to overcome key limitations of systemic biologic ...

Uncertainty Characterisation & Validation within ESA Fire-CCI [PDF]

, 2018
Uncertainty characterisation and validation are critical phases to generate any Essential Climate Variable (ECV), and therefore both have been included as key deliverables of the ESA CCI programme [1].

Perioperative Outcomes of Patients With Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in the Context of Different Body Composition Phenotypes

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) are rare and heterogeneous tumors with increasing incidence. While surgical resection remains the only curative treatment, perioperative outcomes are influenced by patient‐related risk factors. Recent research highlights body composition (BC) as a prognostic marker in oncological and transplantation surgery ...

Retrieving root-zone soil moisture from land surface modelling and GRACE/-FO and validating its dynamics with in-situ data over West Africa [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Rainfall variability in West Africa, driven by the West African Monsoon, poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity and livelihoods. In this context, understanding root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) dynamics is crucial since it serves as the ...

Preoperative Frailty as a Predictor of Quality of Life Outcomes Following Cytoreductive Surgery

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Frailty has emerged as a critical determinant of postoperative risk in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC). However, its impact on postoperative quality of life (QoL) remains underexplored.

Estimating and Downscaling ESA-CCI Soil Moisture Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing Images and Stacking-Based Ensemble Learning Algorithms in the Shandian River Basin, China

Remote Sensing
Soil Moisture (SM) plays a crucial role in agricultural production, ecology, and sustainable development. The prevailing resolution of microwave-based SM products is notably coarse, typically spanning from 10 to 50 km, which might prove inadequate for ...

Dynamic Multi‐Objective Optimisation of Environmental Change Degree and Similarity Based on Nonparametric Tests

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dynamic multi‐objective evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) are widely used to solve dynamic multi‐objective optimisation problems. However, most existing DMOEAs rarely consider the severity of environmental changes and the varying impact of these changes on different decision variables, which restricts their applicability in complex dynamic ...

An Apparent Thermal Inertia Based Trapezoid Model for Downscaling ESA CCI Soil Moisture Products

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Existing long-term soil moisture (SM) products are relatively coarse in spatial resolution, limiting their applications in heterogeneous scales. Various spectral information derived from optical satellite data, such as the land surface temperature ...
