Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

The Distribution of Asterosaponins, Polyhydroxysteroids and Related Glycosides in Different Body Components of the Far Eastern Starfish Lethasterias fusca

Marine Drugs, 2019
Glycoconjugated and other polar steroids of starfish have unique chemical structures and show a broad spectrum of biological activities. However, their biological functions remain not well established. Possible biological roles of these metabolites might

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Laminar Fluid Ejection for Olfactory Drug Delivery: A Proof of Concept Study

IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine
Focal intranasal drug delivery to the olfactory cleft is a promising avenue for pharmaceuticals targeting the brain. However, traditional nasal sprays often fail to deliver enough medication to this specific area. We present a laminar fluid ejection (LFE)

Islet Autoantibodies in Adult With Pituitary and Ovarian Autoimmunity: Implications for Type 1 Diabetes Screening

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by progressive pancreatic β‐cell destruction and the early appearance of islet autoantibodies (islet‐AAb) during the pre‐symptomatic phases. Given the growing interest in screening and prevention of type 1 diabetes, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of pancreatic ...

Laminar fluid ejection device enables high yield and preservation of mRNA and SaRNA LNP formulations

Scientific Reports
The development of messenger RNA (mRNA) and self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccines has revolutionized modern vaccinology, particularly with the success of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...
