Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not participate in protein-coding. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death mediated by reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have shown that ncRNAs such as microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, circular RNAs, and ferroptosis are involved in the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma (OS).

However, experimental analyses on the effect of climate change on soil nitrogen cycles and the implications for the conservation of key wildlife species (i.e.

Inspired by the lateral line canal system in fish, we developed an artificial lateral line (ALL) canal system by integrating cantilevered flow-sensing elements in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) canal. Polypropylene and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) layers were laminated together to form the cantilevered flow-sensing elements.
