Implementation and Experimental Application of Industrial IoT Architecture Using Automation and IoT Hardware/Software.

The paradigms of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) require functional architectures to deploy and organize hardware and software taking advantage of modern digital technologies in industrial systems. In this sense, a lot of the literature proposes and describes this type of architecture with a conceptual angle, without providing experimental validation or with scarce details about the involved equipment under real operation.

Sensorimotor integration enhances temperature stimulus processing.

Animals optimize behavior by integrating sensory input with motor actions. We hypothe-sized that coupling thermosensory information with motor output enhances the brain's capacity to process temperature changes, leading to more precise and adaptive behaviors. To test this, we developed a virtual "thermal plaid" environment where zebrafish either actively controlled temperature changes (sensorimotor feedback) or passively experienced the same thermal fluctuations.

Multiplex, single-cell CRISPRa screening for cell type specific regulatory elements.

CRISPR-based gene activation (CRISPRa) is a strategy for upregulating gene expression by targeting promoters or enhancers in a tissue/cell-type specific manner. Here, we describe an experimental framework that combines highly multiplexed perturbations with single-cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNA-seq) to identify cell-type-specific, CRISPRa-responsive cis-regulatory elements and the gene(s) they regulate. Random combinations of many gRNAs are introduced to each of many cells, which are then profiled and partitioned into test and control groups to test for effect(s) of CRISPRa perturbations of both enhancers and promoters on the expression of neighboring genes.

Moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy to the prostate bed with or without pelvic lymph nodes: a prospective trial.

Background: Hypofractionated radiotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer has been widely studied. However, in the postoperative setting it has been less explored. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hypofractionated radiotherapy in postoperative prostate cancer.

Biological and therapeutic insights from animal modeling of fusion-driven pediatric soft tissue sarcomas.

Survival for children with cancer has primarily improved over the past decades due to refinements in surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Although these general therapies are sometimes curative, the cancer often recurs, resulting in poor outcomes for patients. Fusion-driven pediatric soft tissue sarcomas are genetically defined by chromosomal translocations that create a chimeric oncogene.
