‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation
Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

Intergenerational Enlargement of Human Organs as a Driver of Increased Cancer Risk?
Identifying the environmental factors and associated mechanisms driving increased cancer incidence in younger generations is a matter of great urgency. Here, we propose and discuss a new potential mechanism: larger organ sizes in younger individuals resulting from intergenerational differences in lifestyle, diet, and environmental exposures.

ABSTRACT With their many therapeutic functions, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising sources for regenerative medicine. However, in the manufacture of MSCs, without a method for exploring the effects of long‐term passage on cell proliferation potentials, the design of passage culture processes is challenging.

The polymorphic CYP2D6 enzyme plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of approximately 25% of clinically prescribed drugs. However, the impact of specific genetic variants on the interindividual variability in CYP2D6‐mediated drug metabolism remains insufficiently quantified. This translational study sought to address this gap by analyzing the genotypes

Background In the process of finding the causative variant of rare diseases, accurate assessment and prioritization of genetic variants is essential. Previous variant prioritization tools mainly depend on the in-silico prediction of the pathogenicity of ...

A review of multiscale numerical modeling of rock mechanics and rock engineering
Multiscale numerical methods of rock mechanics and rock engineering are reviewed, and the review results show that more attention should be paid to the development of an advanced constitutive model in addition to numerical techniques themselves. Abstract Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional phenomenological ...

In this article, the finite element method‐smoothed particle hydrodynamics adaptive coupling algorithm is applied to numerically simulate and analyze the dynamic response of the slit tube and the crack propagation under high in situ stress. The dynamic response of the slit tube mainly exhibits radial response in the vertical direction of the slit and ...
