Label‐Free Dual‐Modal Photoacoustic/Ultrasound Localization Imaging for Studying Acute Kidney Injury
This work develops a 3D label‐free photoacoustic/super‐resolution ultrasound imaging system as a comprehensive non‐invasive tool for acute kidney injury (AKI) study. This technique visualizes the intricate structure of renal microvessels and provides critical physiological insights, including renal hemodynamics and oxygenation.

Towards a Conceptual Framework for Innate Immunity [PDF]
Innate immunity now occupies a central role in immunology. However, artificial immune system models have largely been inspired by adaptive not innate immunity. This paper reviews the biological principles and properties of innate immunity and, adopting a conceptual framework, asks how these can be incorporated into artificial models.

Epidemic spreading with immunization rate on complex networks [PDF]
We investigate the spread of diseases, computer viruses or information on complex networks and also immunization strategies to prevent or control the spread. When an entire population cannot be immunized and the effect of immunization is not perfect, we need the targeted immunization with immunization rate.
