Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

An Enhanced Hierarchical Fuzzy TOPSIS-ANP Method for Supplier Selection in an Uncertain Environment

Mathematics
This paper proposes an enhanced hierarchical fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) integrated with the Analytic Network Process (ANP) for solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems under uncertainty.

Identification of Evolving Rule-based Models. [PDF]

, 2002
An approach to identification of evolving fuzzy rule-based (eR) models is proposed. eR models implement a method for the noniterative update of both the rule-base structure and parameters by incremental unsupervised learning.

Brain and Liver Dual‐Targeting Oridonin Nanoparticles to Enhance Aβ Clearance for Alzheimer's Disease Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed a nanoparticle named OAF, which simultaneously targeted to both the brain and liver via the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) receptor, promoting lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1) expression to enhance amyloid‐beta (Aβ) clearance. In AD mice model, OAF significantly reduced Aβ deposition and cognitive impairment, while a mitigating

Microglia‐Targeted Biomimetic Tetrahedral Framework Nucleic Acid Nanovesicles for Synergistic Treatment of Sepsis‐Associated Encephalopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE) lacks effective therapies. We developed ME@FDsi, a biomimetic nanodrug using a tetrahedral framework nucleic acid to deliver disulfiram and siTNFα. It crosses the blood‐brain barrier, targets M1 microglia, inhibits pyroptosis and inflammation, and scavenges ROS.

Calculus of Linear Fuzzy Numerical Functions Based on Non-Increasing Fuzzy Real Numbers

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Fuzzy calculus is the basis of researching fuzzy differential equations. This article mainly investigate the differentiability and integrability of linear fuzzy numerical functions constructed from non-negative and increasing real functions and decreasing fuzzy real numbers.

Fuzzy control and its application to a pH process [PDF]

In the chemical industry, the control of pH is a well-known problem that presents difficulties due to the large variations in its process dynamics and the static nonlinearity between pH and concentration. pH control requires the application of advanced
