Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Pathogen-triggered exudation in woody plants: Molecular mechanisms and ecological impacts

Notulae Scientia Biologicae
Woody plants, critical components of ecosystems and urban environments, face significant threats from biotic agents that compromise their health and longevity. Pathogen-induced exudations, gummosis, wetwood, bleeding, and oozing, are critical yet poorly

Diagnostic utility of pleural fluid/serum bilirubin ratio versus light’s criteria in differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions. A cross-sectional observational study.

Student's Journal of Health Research Africa
Background Differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural effusions is fundamental for guiding clinical management. Light’s criteria remain the standard, though reports suggest misclassification in certain cases, necessitating exploration of

Effective Fundus Image Decomposition for the Detection of Red Lesions and Hard Exudates to Aid in the Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy

Sensors, 2020
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is characterized by the presence of red lesions (RLs), such as microaneurysms and hemorrhages, and bright lesions, such as exudates (EXs). Early DR diagnosis is paramount to prevent serious sight damage.

Importance of PGPR application and its effect on microbial activity in maize rhizosphere [PDF]

Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo, 2012
Microorganisms are involved in the formation of soil fertility, both potential and effective. They facilitate the processes of humification and dehumification and play a key role in the cycling of nutrients - macro and microelements.

Conjugated Porphyrin Polymer With Superior Charge Transfer for Photodynamic‐Immunomodulatory Prevention of CIED Infection in Diabetes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Under NIR irradiation, PTCPP generates ROS to eliminate MRSA biofilms and promote M1 macrophage polarization for phagocytosis. After bacterial clearance, the material is phagocytosed by macrophages, shifting their polarization to M2 phenotype via metabolic reprogramming, which synergistically enhances anti‐infection therapy and wound healing.

Fundus Images-Based Detection and Grading of Macular Edema Using Robust Macula Localization

IEEE Access, 2018
The macula is an oval-shaped area near the center of the human retina, and at its center, there is a small pit known as the fovea. The fovea contains large concentrations of cone cells and is responsible for sharp, colored vision.

A Naphthalimide‐Based NIR‐Emissive AIE Photosensitizer for Synergistic Apoptosis/Ferroptosis‐Mediated Antitumor Therapy and Broad‐Spectrum Bacterial Inactivation With Rapid Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An ionic naphthalimide AIE photosensitizer (PS), TPAPV‐NIM‐M, anchors to cellular and bacterial membranes, emits in the far‐red/near‐infrared (NIR) region, and efficiently generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under white light. Its membrane‐localized photodynamic action drives apoptosis/ferroptosis‐mediated tumor suppression and broad‐spectrum ...
