Abstract Background In radiotherapy and particle therapy, the stability of the beam energy must be checked routinely during quality assurance. This is of particular importance when varying the dose rate via the beam intensity of the accelerator in order to study the FLASH effect when comparing irradiations with conventional and ultra‐high dose rates ...

Current treatments for severe lupus nephritis are limited by side effects due to poor drug targeting. This review explores how smart nanomaterials—like liposomes and biomimetic carriers—can precisely deliver drugs to overactive immune cells and the kidneys. These nanotherapeutics enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity, and enable combination strategies. The

Abstract The study of terrestrial lava tubes is essential for understanding geological processes occurring during volcanic activity on other planetary bodies, such as Mars. These processes lead to the formation of minerals analogous to those found on other planets.

The molecular architecture of the kidney slit diaphragm
Abstract Vertebrate life depends on renal function to filter excess fluid and remove low molecular-weight waste products. An essential component of the kidney filtration barrier is the slit diaphragm (SD), a specialized cell-cell junction between podocytes.

This essay examines the spectres haunting ideas of egalitarianism among Tashelhiyt‐speaking communities in the Moroccan High Atlas: first, the tyrant, an obvious frontal threat to ideas of equality; and then the vastly more complex figure of the thief (amkhar).

We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...
