ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid

Periodontal homeostasis is maintained by coordinated interactions between the oral microbiome and host. Dysbiosis disrupts this ecological balance and contributes to periodontal disease, whereas multi‐omics, artificial intelligence, and microbiome‐based interventions provide emerging opportunities for precision diagnosis, ecological restoration, and ...

AI‐enabled bumpless transfer control strategy for legged robot with hybrid energy storage system
Abstract Designing Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for a legged robot is significant to improve the motion performance and energy efficiency of the robot. However, switching between the driving mode and regenerative braking mode in the HESS may generate a torque bump, which has brought significant challenges to the stability of the robot locomotion.

Clinical outcomes of the PAUL® glaucoma implant for secondary glaucoma
Abstract Purpose Secondary glaucoma encompasses a broad spectrum of disease entities arising from diverse ocular pathologies and is often refractory to conventional treatment. Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) have therefore become an important surgical option.

Compartmentalisation in cAMP signalling: A phase separation perspective
Cells rely on precise spatiotemporal control of signalling pathways to ensure functional specificity. The compartmentalisation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signalling enables distinct cellular responses within a crowded cytoplasmic space.

Abstract Background and Purpose The metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu5 plays an important role in neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity. We and others have shown that mGlu5 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) are biased agonists, triggering the activation of neuroprotective pathways and promoting neuronal survival. As mGlu5 biased pharmacology
