Data‐Driven Feedback Identifies Focused Ultrasound Exposure Regimens for Improved Nanotheranostic Targeting of the Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Machine learning models predict in real time the onset of harmful microbubble collapse during microbubble‐enhanced focused ultrasound (MB‐FUS) and enable dynamic adjustment of sonication to prevent cavitation‐induced damage. This predictive control expands the safe operating window for bloodbrain barrier opening, enhancing nanoparticle delivery and ...

Visualizing and Quantifying Impact with Mechanochromic Sensing Paints Based on Self‐Assembled Polydiacetylene‐Silk Core‐Shell Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tracking physical impacts is important in many fields. Self‐assembled microparticles made from polydiacetylene and silk fibroin that change color from blue to red when hit can provide an alternative approach to traditional mechanical transducers, quantitatively visualizing impact with responses ranging from <100 to 770 N.

SIRT5–RAC2 Axis Drives Monocyte‐to‐Macrophage Differentiation to Promote Inflammatory Injury in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SIRT5 desuccinylates and stabilizes RAC2, activating CSF1R‐dependent signaling to drive monocyte differentiation into M0 macrophages and their polarization toward pro‐inflammatory M1 phenotypes in CTX‐induced premature ovarian insufficiency. Inhibiting the SIRT5‐RAC2 axis attenuates inflammation, reduces granulosa cell apoptosis, and preserves ...

An Optically Transparent Water‐Based Metamaterial Absorber for Ultra‐Broadband EMI Shielding in Coal Mines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel metamaterial absorber integrating water as a lossy medium with patterned indium tin oxide (ITO) films to achieve simultaneous optical transparency and ultra‐wideband electromagnetic absorption over 0.52‐40 GHz. It effectively overcomes the limitations of conventional opaque and bulky shielding materials, offering a ...

L2 Reading Comprehension: Exclusively L2 Competence or Different Competences?

Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2014
This paper is a literature review focusing on reading English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL). It reviews the recent empirical studies in ESL/EFL reading and by so doing it intends to lay a theoretical foundation for the development of valid tests on reading comprehension and set directions for further research on ESL/EFL reading tests. First,
