Introduction: High-resolution digitized cardiac anatomical data sets are in huge demand in clinical, basic research and computational settings. They can be leveraged to evaluate intricate anatomical and structural changes in disease pathology, such as myocardial infarction (MI), which is one of the most common causes of heart failure and death. Advancements in high-resolution imaging and anatomical techniques in this field and our laboratory have led to vast improvements in understanding cardiovascular anatomy, especially the cardiac conduction system (CCS) responsible for the electricity of the heart, in healthy/aged/obese post-mortem human hearts.

Part of the spectrum of "neutrophilic disease," both the pathogenesis and the optimal management of these aseptic abscesses remain unclear. In the context of inflammatory bowel disease, sometimes these abscesses appear despite normal endoscopic findings.

Low-temperature electrolyzer systems, such as proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers, alkaline water electrolyzers, and anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers are at the forefront of current technologies. Their performance, however, generally depends on electricity costs and system efficiency, which can be significantly improved by developing high-performance electrocatalysts to enhance the kinetics of both the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction and the anodic oxygen evolution reaction.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo-dimensional honeycomb antiferromagnets are promising materials class for realizing Kitaev quantum spin liquids. The signature of these materials includes anisotropic bond-dependent magnetic responses and persistent fluctuations in paramagnetic regime. Here, we propose CuCoSbO heterostructures as an intriguing candidate, wherein bond-dependent and frustrated spins interact with optical excitons.
