Protein translocation across cellular membranes is an essential and nano-scale dynamic process. In the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, the core proteins in this process are a membrane protein complex, SecYEG, corresponding to the eukaryotic Sec61 complex, and a cytoplasmic protein, SecA ATPase. Despite more than three decades of extensive research on Sec proteins, from genetic experiments to cutting-edge single-molecule analyses, no study has visually demonstrated protein translocation.

Bone damage, a late side effect of radiotherapy, occurs concurrently with the replacement of fat cells in the bone marrow, causing changes in bone composition. Changes in composition can affect bone quality and disease states, and reduced bone mass can reduce quality of life by increasing the risk of fractures. A 70-year-old woman presented to the orthopedic outpatient clinic with the chief complaint of lower-back pain.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are becoming popular at many manufacturing facilities. To ensure mobility and flexibility, AGVs are often controlled by wireless communication, eliminating the constraints of physical cables. These AGVs require multiple Access Points (APs) to ensure uninterrupted coverage across the site.
