Maritime objects frequently exhibit low-quality and insufficient feature information, particularly in complex maritime environments characterized by challenges such as small objects, waves, and reflections. This situation poses significant challenges to the development of reliable object detection including the strategies of loss function and the feature understanding capabilities in common YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) detectors. Furthermore, the widespread adoption and unmanned operation of intelligent ships have generated increasing demands on the computational efficiency and cost of object detection hardware, necessitating the development of more lightweight network architectures.

CRISPR-based gene therapies are making remarkable strides toward the clinic. But the large size of most widely used Cas endonucleases including Cas9 and Cas12a restricts their efficient delivery by the adeno-associated virus (AAV) for in vivo gene editing. Being exceptionally small, the recently engineered type V-F CRISPR-Cas12f1 systems can overcome the cargo packaging bottleneck and present as strong candidates for therapeutic applications.

Bananas are the world's important fruit and staple crop in the developing countries. Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soils results in the decrease of crop yield and food safety. Bioremediation is an environmental-friendly and effective measure using Cd-tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).

Ferroptosis is a newly defined form of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. Erastin, the ferroptosis activator, binds to voltage-dependent anion channels VDAC2 and VDCA3, but treatment with erastin can result in the degradation of the channels. Here, the authors show that Nedd4 is induced following erastin treatment, which leads to the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the channels.
