IET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 7-19, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Existing studies for the balance control of unmanned bicycle robots only consider constant forward velocity and a single optimal objective that cannot be applied to the complex motion situation. To balance the bicycle robot with time‐varying forward velocity, only with the steering actuator, the multiple objective optimal balance control issue

Transcriptomic Profiling Unveils EDN3<sup>+</sup> Meningeal Fibroblasts as Key Players in Sturge-Weber Syndrome Pathogenesis. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Sturge‐Weber syndrome (SWS) is characterized by leptomeningeal vascular malformations, leading to seizures and stroke. Analysis of 119 446 brain cells from SWS patients uncovered distinct cell heterogeneity and identified an EDN3⁺ meningeal fibroblast cluster, with WNT5A emerging as a potential key driver of SWS progression and a promising therapeutic ...
