Unlabelled: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of central nervous system tumor. Molecular targeting may be important when developing efficient GBM treatment strategies. Sequencing of GBMs revealed that the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)/RAS/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway was altered in 88% of samples.

This protein is a crucial component of the scavenger receptor family and is vital in protecting mammals from infectious diseases. Although research on SCARF2 is limited, mutations in this protein have been shown to cause skeletal abnormalities in both SCARF2-deficient mice and individuals with Van den Ende-Gupta syndrome (VDEGS), which is also associated with SCARF2 mutations.

Urban effects on temperature and precipitation have drawn considerable attention. These associated physical processes are also closely linked to clouds' formation and dynamics.

SREC-1 plays an important role in the binding and endocytosis of various endogenous and exogenous ligands. Many studies have been carried out on modified low-density lipoprotein internalization activity, but there have been few studies on SCARF2.

By downscaling ECOSTRESS land surface temperature imaginary over New York City, we provide the first diurnal analysis of city-scale canopy temperature. Research reveals a remarkable spatial variation of the canopy temperature during daytime up to 5.
