The Electric Vehicle (EV) landscape has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years. The integration of EVs into the grid has increased the demand for power while maintaining the grid's balance and efficiency. Demand Side Management (DSM) plays a pivotal role in this system, ensuring that the grid can accommodate the additional load demand without compromising stability or necessitating costly infrastructure upgrades.

BRICK1 (BRK1) genes promote leaf epidermal cell morphogenesis and division in plants that involves local actin polymerization. Although the changes in actin filament organization during drought have been reported, the role of BRK in stress tolerance remains unknown.

- Scientists studied a plant called Oldenlandia corymbosa, which has been used in traditional medicine to treat diseases like cancer.
- They found that some extracts from this plant can fight breast cancer cells, mainly because of a compound called ursolic acid.
- The researchers also discovered how ursolic acid works against cancer cells and identified specific genes that help make this important compound, paving the way for more studies.
"Alzheimer's disease" (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the memory shrinks and neurons die. "Dementia" is described as a gradual decline in mental, psychological, and interpersonal qualities that hinders a person's ability to function autonomously. AD is the most common degenerative brain disease.

- The study focused on evaluating the noninferiority of SYSTANE iLux compared to LipiFlow for treating meibomian gland dysfunction in patients with evaporative dry eye over 12 months.
- A total of 236 subjects were randomly assigned to either treatment, with assessments made at multiple time points to measure improvement in meibomian gland score, tear breakup time, and symptom severity.
- Results indicated that SYSTANE iLux performed comparably to LipiFlow, showing no significant differences in treatment outcomes, and no serious adverse effects were reported.
