Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most important emerging technologies that supports Metaverse integrating process, by enabling smooth data transfer among physical and virtual domains. Integrating sensor devices, wearables, and smart gadgets into Metaverse environment enables IoT to deepen interactions and enhance immersion, both crucial for a completely integrated, data-driven Metaverse. Nevertheless, because IoT devices are often built with minimal hardware and are connected to the Internet, they are highly susceptible to different types of cyberattacks, presenting a significant security problem for maintaining a secure infrastructure.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed new compounds by linking ferrocene to natural steroid structures to enhance their biological activity.
  • The team created 8 new conjugates from various progestogens and characterized them using advanced techniques like NMR and UV-Vis.
  • Although the conjugates weren't highly toxic to rat spleen cells, they elicited diverse immune responses, likely due to the presence of the ferrocene component.

Disruptions in the brain's connections to the hands resulting from a cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) can lead to severe and persistent functional impairments. The integrity of these connections is an important predictor of upper extremity recovery in stroke and may similarly act as a biomarker in cSCI. In this perspective article, we review recent findings from a large cohort of individuals with cSCI, demonstrating the predictive value of corticospinal tract (CST) integrity in cSCI-CST sparing.

There is growing interest in developing monotherapy drugs that treat inflammation caused by microbial infections, focusing on dual antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents with minimal side effects and high safety margins. This study synthesized and characterized a library of novel cis-4-ferrocenylazetidin-2-ones, evaluating their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. These organometallic monocyclic β-lactams showed moderate in vitro antimicrobial activity against various standard microbial strains, including yeasts and Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
