Multi-Functional and Multi-Scale Aspects in Polymer Composites.

Polymer composites have gained attention due to their multifunctionality and ability to tune properties at multiple scales [...

Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia.

Nut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism. Macadamia cultivars exhibit both self- and cross-pollination.

The Dynamic Role of Curcumin in Mitigating Human Illnesses: Recent Advances in Therapeutic Applications.

Herbal medicine, particularly in developing regions, remains highly popular due to its cost-effectiveness, accessibility, and minimal risk of adverse effects. L., commonly known as turmeric, exemplifies such herbal remedies with its extensive history of culinary and medicinal applications across Asia for thousands of years.

A Practical Clinical Approach to Navigate Pulmonary Embolism Management: A Primer and Narrative Review of the Evolving Landscape.

Advances in imaging, pharmacological, and procedural technologies have rapidly expanded the care of pulmonary embolism. Earlier, more accurate identification and quantification has enhanced risk stratification across the spectrum of the disease process, with a number of clinical tools available to prognosticate outcomes and guide treatment. Direct oral anticoagulants have enabled a consistent and more convenient long-term therapeutic option, with a greater shift toward outpatient treatment for a select group of low-risk patients.

Circulating microRNAs as a Prognostic Tool to Determine Treatment Efficacy in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Pembrolizumab PD-1 Blockade Immunotherapy.

Pembrolizumab has recently emerged as a PD-1 blockade immunotherapy treatment for lung cancer. It is critical that such treatment strategies for lung cancer should be chosen not only on the basis of histopathological features and the expression of targetable cell surface proteins (such as PD-1), but should rather be selected based on other determinants of treatment success or risk factors for poor prognosis. One method to forecast cancer trajectory is the identification of biomolecular signatures such as microRNAs (miRNAs), non-protein-coding RNA molecules that play a regulatory role in gene expression by modulating the translation or stability of messenger RNA.
