The recurrence of drug-resistant and expensive treatment drugs are major causes of the low survival rate of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Exploring a safe, effective, low-cost and novel drug treatment for MM is a promising strategy to relieve the burden of MM patients. In this study, we found that prodigiosin could inhibit MM cell proliferation and induce MM cell apoptosis, however, it had a lesser cytotoxic effect on normal B cells within the IC range of MM cells.

The track regularity with high accuracy is crucial important to protect the dynamic safety in high speed and heavy haul railways, normally, the inertial measurement unit (IMU)is capable to provide the precise solution for track irregularity measurement. However, to achieve high accuracy, the most existing track irregularity measurement methods seriously depended on the fiber-optic IMU, it is very expensive, also with larger size and weight, while the growing availability of low-cost and small size MEMS-IMU can yield acceptable accuracy for track irregularity by using multiple MEMS-IMUs fusion and particular geometric constraints. For these reasons, this paper proposes an accurate measurement method for track irregularity that combines the multiple MEMS-IMUs and special geometric constraints, which can be obtained noticeable measuring performances compared with fiber-optic IMU.

Central sensitization plays a critical role in bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). Electroacupuncture (EA) nerve stimulation therapy has been broadly acknowledged as an effective means of alleviating chronic pathological pain. However, it remains to be explored whether EA is effective in mitigating pain-sensitive symptoms of BPS/IC and the mechanisms involved.

The scale height (SH) represents the height increment for a certain parameter to decrease to 36.7% (1/e) of its value at a certain height. Here we present ERA5-SH, a gridded dataset containing the SH values of six troposphere key parameters (PWV, WVD, T, ZTD, ZHD and ZWD) based on ERA5 reanalysis from 2013 to 2022, with a temporal resolution of 1 hour and a spatial resolution of 1°.

Collaborative learning has gained significant traction for training deep learning models without sharing the original data of participants, particularly when dealing with sensitive data such as facial images. However, current gradient inversion attacks are employed to progressively reconstruct private data from gradients, and they have shown successful in extracting private training data. Nonetheless, our observations reveal that these methods exhibit suboptimal performance in face reconstruction and result in the loss of numerous facial details.

Lightweight, hierarchical thin-walled tubes are essential in aerospace and transportation for their exceptional impact resistance and energy absorption capabilities. This study applies bionic design principles to revolutionize traditional thin-walled tube structures, enhancing their energy absorption performance. Inspired by natural models-spider webs, beetle elytra, cuttlebone, and spiral wood fibers-integrated bionic hierarchical thin-walled tubes (IBHTTs) with diverse bionic structural and material combinations are developed using additive manufacturing.

Background: Physio-Cognitive Decline Syndrome (PCDs) is characterized by the coexistence of MIND (mobility impairment, no disability) and CIND (cognitive impairment, no dementia), which predicts dementia risk. Deteriorating oral health can contribute to malnutrition, cognitive decline, and physical frailty, all of which may exacerbate PCDs symptoms. This study investigates the association between oral health and PCDs, exploring sex differences in this relationship.

In the realm of intelligent sensing, the development of multifunctional, highly sensitive, wide-ranging, and durable flexible sensors remains a formidable challenge. This paper introduces a dual-mode ionic gel sensor, inspired by the sensory mechanisms of ants and developed through magnetically induced technology capable of simultaneously detecting environmental humidity and pressure. The humidity sensor is fabricated from a prestretched, buckled poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) ionic gel with microstructures, exhibiting rapid response and high durability.

Understanding the impact of mildew on lignin and hemicelluloses within plant cell walls is crucial for addressing biomass degradation and antimicrobial studies. In this work, Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR) and nanoindentation techniques were used to characterize the effects of three mildew species-Aspergillus niger (AN), Trichoderma viride (TV), and Penicillium citrinum (PC)-on lignin and hemicelluloses within bamboo cell walls. 2D NMR detected bond changes, while nanoindentation measured mechanical decline.

Vision Transformers (ViTs) have exhibited exceptional performance across diverse computer vision tasks, while their substantial parameter size incurs significantly increased memory and computational demands, impeding effective inference on resource-constrained devices. Quantization has emerged as a promising solution to mitigate these challenges, yet existing methods still suffer from significant accuracy loss at low-bit. We attribute this issue to the distinctive distributions of post-LayerNorm and post-GELU activations within ViTs, rendering conventional hardware-friendly quantizers ineffective, particularly in low-bit scenarios.

Amidst the prevalent and notable characteristic of a hypoxic microenvironment present in the majority of solid tumors, a burgeoning number of studies have revealed the significance of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in hypoxic tumor regions. The transcriptome of cancers is highly heterogeneous, with noncoding transcripts playing crucial roles. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are two distinctive classes of ncRNA that are garnering increasing attention.

In addition to their traditional roles in maintaining tissue morphology and organ development, emerging evidence suggests that collagen (COL) remodeling-referring to dynamic changes in the quantity, stiffness, arrangements, cleavage states, and homo-/hetero-trimerization of COLs-serves as a key signaling mechanism that governs tumor growth and metastasis. COL receptors act as switches, linking various forms of COL remodeling to different cell types during cancer progression, including cancer cells, immune cells, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). In this review, we summarize recent findings on the signaling pathways mediated by COL arrangement, cleavage, and trimerization states (both homo- and hetero-), as well as the roles of the primary COL receptors-integrin, DDR1/2, LAIR-1/2, MRC2, and GPVI-in cancer progression.
