The Return of the Allis Shad (Alosa alosa) to the Lower Navigable Reaches of the Seine: Locks Play a Role

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In France, it is estimated that shads (Alosa spp.) have lost 69% of their historical range, mainly due to disrupted river connectivity. After an absence of one century, signs of their return in the Seine River have been recorded over the past two decades: adult and juvenile specimens have been caught by anglers or recorded at video‐counting ...

Distinct Plasma LPC Signatures Differentiate COVID-19 Sepsis from Other Sepsis Aetiologies

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Low levels of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in the blood can be used as a diagnostic marker for sepsis. SARS-CoV-2 infection, a more recent cause of sepsis, shares similarities with non-SARS-CoV-2 sepsis but also exhibits distinct ...

Osmotic Remodeling of Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Nanomedicine

Small, EarlyView.
Hypotonic lysis in bidistilled water is used to remodel B lymphocyte–derived extracellular vesicles into cargo‐depleted, structurally preserved nanovesicles. The process reduces intraluminal proteins and nucleic acids, reshapes membrane composition, and enhances tumor‐cell uptake in vitro, while allowing proof‐of‐concept reloading with exogenous agents,

Classification of EEG-P300 Signals Extracted from Brain Activities in BCI Systems Using ν-SVM and BLDA Algorithms [PDF]

Applied Medical Informatics, 2014
In this paper, a linear predictive coding (LPC) model is used to improve classification accuracy, convergent speed to maximum accuracy, and maximum bitrates in brain computer interface (BCI) system based on extracting EEG-P300 signals.

Reverse‐Engineered Lipid Nanoparticles Harness Protein Corona Formation for Cytokine Sequestration and Combination Immunomodulatory Therapy

Small, EarlyView.
Bioinspired triglyceride‐ceramide lipid nanoparticles were reverse‐engineered from cytokine‐sequestering plant‐derived nanoparticles to capture pathological inflammatory mediators through protein corona formation. Dexamethasone‐loaded TCNPs combine extracellular cytokine sequestration with intracellular immunomodulation, reducing IL‐6, TNF‐α, and NF‐κΒ

Tailoring Microstructure and Hardness in Maraging 300 Steel via 2.4 wt.% Niobium Addition and Controlled Aging Treatments

steel research international, EarlyView.
High Nb (2.4 wt.%) addition to Maraging 300 steel drives lattice distortion and nanoscale Nb–Mo‐rich precipitation, confirmed by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy mapping (Mo ~5.4 wt.%, Nb ~2.5 wt.%). Nanoindentation reveals strong matrix hardening (H >4.8 GPa) at 480°C aging, while 560°C induces ~1.92 vol.% reverted austenite, enabling tunable ...

PFOA Exposure Elicits Quantitative Lipidomic Changes in the Pancreas in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and predicted to rise to second by 2030. Several risk factors have been identified as potential contributors to pancreatic cancer development including lifestyle factors and long‐term exposure to occupational and environmental carcinogens.

Juvenile and Pubertal Exposure to Polystyrene Nanoplastics Impairs Epididymal Structure and Sperm Quality in Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental contaminants capable of crossing biological barriers, accumulating in tissues, and disrupting physiological pathways. The male reproductive system is particularly vulnerable during the postnatal period, a developmental window characterized by intense testicular differentiation and epididymal ...
