ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Singular-plural verb stem alternation: uncovering global and local drivers of typological variation
In this paper, we present a comparative concept for singular-plural verb stem alternation (Sg-Pl alternation) and a systematic global survey of its presence as well as its syntactic and semantic attributes, with a denser sample in the Americas.

ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Non-adjacent dependency processing (or lack thereof) in bonobos: an artificial grammar experiment
A key feature of language is our capacity to process syntactic relationships between words, whether they are directly sequential (‘adjacent dependencies’) or separated by other words (‘non-adjacent dependencies’).

Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Linguistic pitch is hierarchically encoded in the right ventral stream
A challenge for speech perception research is to explain how listeners transform speech sounds into meaning. Using MEG and complementary analytical methods, we expose the neural dynamics that generate meaningful linguistic units (e.g., sentence type ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Polysemy and metaphorical extension in an artificial language learning experiment
This study investigates the emergence of metaphorical meanings in abstract visual symbols within an ‘alien language’ artificial language learning game. Findings reveal that participants extend concrete meanings to abstract meanings based on metaphorical ...
