Attacking the public health crisis of hepatocellular carcinoma at its roots

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract As the third most common cause of cancer‐related death worldwide with significant mortality rates in the United States, hepatocellular carcinoma has strong association with cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) with a growing at‐risk population from the rise in chronic liver disease from alcohol use and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Comparison of Growth and Production of Green and Red Salanova Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and Basil (Ocimum basilicum) When Grown in Either Floating Rafts or Media Beds in a Coupled Aquaponic System with Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Horticulturae
This study compared floating raft and media bed aquaponic systems, assessing fish growth, plant growth, and system performance between common system designs. The study consisted of two trials utilizing six replicated aquaponic systems.

Effects of pre-harvest brackish water exposure on leafy green growth in aquaponic systems

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Growing interest in brackish or saline aquaponics (also known as haloponics) has highlighted the need for production strategies that enable growers to utilize saltier, more nutrient rich, water sources without reducing crop yield.

Evaluating Different Methods to Establish Biodiverse Swards of Native Grasses and Wildflowers for Pasturelands

Agronomy
Many cool-season pastures in the southeastern U.S. are dominated by a competitive cool-season grass, tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus), and lack substantial plant diversity.

NAPRT loss promotes lung tumor initiation and growth through AKT signaling independently of NAD+ biosynthesis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of NAPRT promotes lung tumor initiation and growth through a noncanonical mechanism, independent of its role in NAD+ biosynthesis. Mechanistically, NAPRT depletion activates the mTORC2‐driven AKT/β‐catenin signaling axis to enhance clonogenic and invasive phenotypes. Furthermore, lung‐specific Naprt deletion significantly increases tumor burden in

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Site Preparation and Planting Strategies to Improve Native Forb Establishment in Pasturelands

Agronomy
Increasing the diversity of native forbs in pasturelands can benefit insect pollinator populations, which have been declining widely. Establishing native forbs into existing pasturelands can be challenging, however, and information about effective ...

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.
