The advent of 5G technology has facilitated the adoption of private cellular networks in industrial settings. Ensuring reliable coverage while maintaining certain requirements at its boundaries is crucial for successful deployment yet challenging without extensive measurements. In this article, we propose the leveraging of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Gaussian processes (GPs) to reduce the complexity of this task.

Introduction: Reprogramming of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their differentiation into specific cell types, such as induced sensory-like neurons (iSNs), are critical for disease modeling and drug testing. However, the variability of cell populations challenges reliability and reproducibility. While various protocols for iSN differentiation exist, the development of non-iSN cells in these cultures remains an issue.

Acral burning pain triggered by fever, thermal hyposensitivity and skin denervation are hallmarks of small fibre neuropathy in Fabry disease, a life-threatening X-linked lysosomal storage disorder. Variants in the gene encoding alpha-galactosidase A may lead to impaired enzyme activity with cellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. To study the underlying pathomechanism of Fabry-associated small fibre neuropathy, we generated a neuronal disease model using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells from three Fabry patients and one healthy control.

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked multiorgan disorder caused by variants in the alpha-galactosidase A gene (GLA). Depending on the variant, disease phenotypes range from benign to life-threatening. More than 1000 GLA variants are known, but a link between genotype and phenotype in FD has not yet been established for all.

Fabry disease (FD) is a lysosomal storage disorder of X-linked inheritance. Mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene lead to cellular globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) depositions and triggerable acral burning pain in both sexes as an early FD symptom of unknown pathophysiology. We aimed at elucidating the link between skin cells and nociceptor sensitization contributing to FD pain in a sex-associated manner.
