Color Tunable Three Terminal (3-T) Vertically Stacked Tandem Organic Electroluminescent Devices.

Traditional full-color displays typically use a pixel layout with three side-by-side subpixels emitting red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colors. However, this configuration limits the resolution especially in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. To address the issue of low pixel density in display technology, this study demonstrated vertically stacked three-terminal (3-T) bottom-emitting tandem OLEDs (sOLED).

Consensus Statement from India on the Renal Benefits of ARNi, SGLT-2i, and Bisoprolol in Chronic Kidney Disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in India. CKD often coexists with heart failure (HF), diabetes, and hypertension. All these comorbidities are risk factors for renal impairment.

Modulation of fluorescence and phosphorescence of organoboron compounds from ortho-substituted phenolic Schiff bases by structural modification.

Light emission from organoboron compounds of Schiff bases is found to depend strongly on their chemical structure. Two of these compounds (OB1 and OB2), which contain a benzene ring between the Schiff base moieties, exhibit weak fluorescence in methanol, with marked viscosity dependence. Fluorescence lifetimes of these compounds are in picosecond timescale, as determined by femtosecond optical gating (FOG).

A cell based assay using virus-like particles to screen AM type mimics for SARS-CoV-2 neutralisation.

A number of small molecule and protein therapeutic candidates have been developed in the last four years against SARS-CoV-2 spike. However, there are hardly a few molecules that have advanced through the subsequent discovery steps to eventually work as a therapeutic agent. This is majorly because of the hurdles in determining the affinity of potential therapeutics with live SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Implementation of the deep learning method for signal detection in massive-MIMO-NOMA systems.

The deep learning method (DLM) is one way to fix issues in optical nonorthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA) systems that are caused by signals that overlap and interfere with each other. NOMA increases the optical framework's spectrum efficiency, allowing several users to share the same time-frequency resources. However, NOMA-DLM-based detection's complicated interference patterns and variable channel conditions are challenging for conventional detection methods to manage.

Unveiling the Slippery Secrets of Saliva: Effector Proteins of Phloem-Feeding Insects.

Phloem-feeding insects include many important agricultural pests that cause crop damage globally, either through feeding-related damage or upon transmission of viruses and microbes that cause plant diseases. With genetic crop resistances being limited to most of these pests, control relies on insecticides, which are costly and damaging to the environment and to which insects can develop resistance. Like other plant parasites, phloem-feeding insects deliver effectors inside their host plants to promote susceptibility, most likely by a combination of suppressing immunity and promoting nutrient availability.

Treatment with the dual-incretin agonist DA-CH5 demonstrates potent therapeutic effect in a rat model of Wolfram Syndrome.

Aim: Wolfram Syndrome (WS) is a rare condition caused by mutations in , with a poor prognosis and no cure. Mono-agonists targeting the incretin glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) have demonstrated disease-modifying potential in pre-clinical and clinical settings. Dual agonists that target GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP-1) are reportedly more efficacious; hence, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of dual incretin agonism in a loss-of-function rat model of WS.
