Temporal Interference Stimulation of Centromedian‐Parafascicular Complex in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Treatment of disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains a major clinical challenge, and noninvasive, targeted modulation of deep brain structures has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility/safety and preliminary effects of thalamic temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting centromedian‐

Sodium nitroprusside and salicylic acid facilitated post-stress recovery in birch seedlings under cadmium stress by modulating ROS/RNS and lupeol levels

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Nitric oxide (NO) and salicylic acid (SA) are recognized for their ability to mitigate cadmium (Cd) stress, yet their roles in facilitating plant post-stress recovery after Cd exposure remain poorly understood.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Construction, screening of a Ganoderma lucidum mutant library and identification of high-triterpenoid-yielding strains

Medicinal Plant Biology
Ganoderic acids are the primary bioactive constituents of the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum. Commercial cultivars typically have low ganoderic triterpenoid contents, creating an urgent industry need for high-triterpenoid germplasm.

Non-Negligible Effects of UV Irradiation on Transformation and Environmental Risks of Microplastics in the Water Environment

Journal of Xenobiotics, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in environmental media, and their harmful effects on MPs on the ecosystem have attracted more and more attention. Once released into the environment, MPs can trigger oxidative degradation through ultraviolet (UV) to ...
