Significance: Wavefront shaping (WFS) can compensate for distortions by optimizing the wavefront of the input light or reversing the transmission matrix of the media. It is a promising field of research. A thorough understanding of principles and developments of WFS is important for optical research.

However, the poor fidelity of 3DHD constrains its applications. Here, we present an ultrahigh-fidelity 3D holographic display that uses scattering for homogenization of angular spectrum.

Aim: To meet these needs, we aim to develop multiscale photoacoustic tomography (PAT) to image neural activities across spatial scales with a genetically encoded calcium indicator GCaMP.
To study the predictive value of biopsy lesions in IgA nephropathy in a range of patient ages we retrospectively analyzed the cohort that was used to derive a new classification system for IgA nephropathy. A total of 206 adults and 59 children with proteinuria over 0.5 g/24 h/1.

Prolonged exposure of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) to high glucose concentrations in peritoneal dialysate is the principal factor leading to matrix accumulation and thickening of the peritoneal membrane, accompanied by progressive deterioration of transport functions. These changes are mediated in part through protein kinase C (PKC) activation and the induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1).
