Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Nanomechanical properties of neutron-irradiated concrete

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings
Concrete exposed to irradiation from nuclear reactor undergoes atomic-level degradation due to the influence of neutrons, secondary gamma rays, and associated gamma heating. The radiationinduced damage decreases the mechanical properties of the concrete

Dual-Band Plasmonic Perfect Absorber Based on Graphene Metamaterials for Refractive Index Sensing Application

Micromachines, 2019
We demonstrate a dual-band plasmonic perfect absorber (PA) based on graphene metamaterials. Two absorption peaks (22.5 μm and 74.5 μm) with the maximal absorption of 99.4% and 99.9% have been achieved, respectively.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

A machine learning model with minimize feature parameters for multi-type hydrogen evolution catalyst prediction

npj Computational Materials
The vast chemical compositional space presents challenges in catalyst development using traditional methods. Machine learning (ML) offers new opportunities, but current ML models are typically limited to screening a single catalyst type. In this work, we

On the Comparative Suitability of Strain Relaxation and Stress Relaxation Compression for Ultrasound Poroelastic Tissue Characterization

Frontiers in Physics, 2021
Poroelastic tissue strain imaging measures the time-varying and spatially varying deformation of a soft-tissue matrix during compression as the tissue fluid flows out of the compartmental boundaries.
