A Versatile Dual-Responsive Shape-Memory Gripper via Additive Manufacturing Toward High-Performance Cross-Scale Objects Maneuvering.

Smart grippers serving as soft robotics have garnered extensive attentions owing to their great potentials in medical, biomedical, and industrial fields. Though a diversity of grippers that account for manipulating the small objects (e.g.

Polystyrene Nanoplastics Elicit Multiple Responses in Immune Cells of the (, 1826).

The improper disposal of plastic products/wastes can lead to the release of nanoplastics (NPs) into environmental media, especially soil. Nevertheless, their toxicity mechanisms in soil invertebrates remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of polystyrene NPs on (, 1826) immune cells, focusing on oxidative stress, immune responses, apoptosis, and necrosis.

A Symmetrical Leech-Inspired Soft Crawling Robot Based on Gesture Control.

This paper presents a novel soft crawling robot controlled by gesture recognition, aimed at enhancing the operability and adaptability of soft robots through natural human-computer interactions. The Leap Motion sensor is employed to capture hand gesture data, and Unreal Engine is used for gesture recognition. Using the UE4Duino, gesture semantics are transmitted to an Arduino control system, enabling direct control over the robot's movements.

Multimodal artificial intelligence system for detecting a small esophageal high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia: A case report.

Background: Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly enhanced the capabilities of endoscopic-assisted diagnosis for gastrointestinal diseases. AI has shown great promise in clinical practice, particularly for diagnostic support, offering real-time insights into complex conditions such as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Case Summary: In this study, we introduce a multimodal AI system that successfully identified and delineated a small and flat carcinoma during esophagogastroduodenoscopy, highlighting its potential for early detection of malignancies.

Circle-seq reveals that eccDNA may be a key blood biomarker for HBV-associated liver cancer.

Introduction: Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) regulates tumor occurrence and development. Relevant eccDNA profiles have been established for various types of cancer; however, the eccDNA expression profiles in the blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis (LC) remain unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the eccDNA expression profiles in the blood of patients with HCC and LC.
