Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax in young males: Importance of chest imaging in diagnosis and VATS in management!

Muller Journal of Medical Sciences and Research
Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs when air accumulates in the pleural cavity without any apparent trauma. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax commonly affects young, tall, thin males and is often associated with subpleural blebs or bullae.

Barriers and Enablers of Circular Economy in Electrical and Electronic Equipment: A Systematic Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid technological change, shorter lifecycles and rising demand for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are increasing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and emphasise the need for a circular economy. This paper identifies barriers and enablers of the circular transition in EEE and outlines interventions.

Greening the Bottom Line: Public Funding for Circular Economy Initiatives and Financial Stability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public funding for circular economy (CE) initiatives plays a crucial role in shaping corporate financial performance, yet its effects remain underexplored. Grounded in the resource‐based view (RBV) of the firm, this study investigates the financial impact of CE funding on private firms, using Portugal as a case study. It analyses the financial

Food System Through the Lens of a Circular Society: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Integrating Literature and Practice

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular society (CS) conceptualises circularity as a multi‐level governance transformation involving the redistribution of authority, responsibility and coordination across socio‐institutional systems. Yet the concept remains insufficiently operationalised in empirical research.

Beyond the ports: outcomes in uni-port vs. multi-port video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lung resections

Annals of Saudi Medicine
BACKGROUND: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become the preferred minimally invasive approach for thoracic surgical procedures, with potential advantages over traditional thoracotomy.

Beyond Compliance: The Role of Climate Policy Stringency and Financial Institutions in Cleantech Startup Entry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how environmental regulations can drive technological change, drawing on the innovation systems perspective and the strong Porter hypothesis (SPH). The SPH suggests that well‐designed stringent regulations can foster innovation and enhance firm competitiveness, performance, and survival, yet prior research remains largely ...

Evaluating postoperative recovery in uniportal versus needlescopic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax: a comparable study

Frontiers in Surgery
ObjectivesPrimary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a common disease in young and thin male. Operation has been regarded as definitive treatment for it. However, the operative methods for those patients are under dispute.

Bioresponsive pseudoGlucosinolates (psGSLs) Release Isothiocyanates (ITCs) in the Presence of Nitroreductases

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This work introduces the concept of pseudoglucosinolates (psGSLs) and reports the synthesis and evaluation of nitroreductase‐responsive psGSLs. These compounds represent a complementary prodrug strategy to natural glucosinolates (GSLs) for the controlled release of isothiocyanates (ITCs), enabling bio‐responsive protein labeling, as demonstrated in ...

Investigating the Cytoskeleton of DRGs Using Cryo‐Electron Microscopy and Deep Learning

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a method for determining the ultrastructural organization of axons and varicosities of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Cryo‐EM reveals the dimensions, proximity, and overall organization of biological specimens in a near‐native state, avoiding artifacts of fixation and ...
