Precise Measurement of the e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} Cross Section at Center-of-Mass Energies from Threshold to 4.95 GeV.

Using the e^{+}e^{-} collision data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, at center-of-mass energies from the threshold to 4.95 GeV, we present precise measurements of the cross section for the process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} using a single-tag method. The resulting cross section line shape exhibits several new structures, thereby offering an input for a future coupled-channel analysis and model tests, which are critical to understand vector charmonium-like states with masses between 4 and 5 GeV.

Hepatocyte-derived liver progenitor-like cells attenuate liver cirrhosis via induction of apoptosis in hepatic stellate cells.

Background: Cell therapy demonstrates promising potential as a substitute therapeutic approach for liver cirrhosis. We have developed a strategy to effectively expand murine and human hepatocyte-derived liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs) in vitro. The primary objective of the present study was to apply HepLPCs to the treatment of liver cirrhosis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for their therapeutic efficacy.

An Oxidative Stress Nanoamplifier to Enhance the Efficacy of Cisplatin in Head and Neck Cancer.

Cisplatin (CP) is a first-line platinum-based drug used for the treatment of head and neck cancer. However, tumor cells can diminish the therapeutic effects of CP through the detoxification system mediated by glutathione (GSH) and the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Herein, we present a light-activable and pH-responsive oxidative stress nanoamplifier (FPLC@IR OSNA), comprising an amphiphilic compound (FPLC) with Fmoc-lysine acting as a connector between a nitroimidazole derivative and a pH-responsive cinnamaldehyde (CA) derivative, loaded with photosensitizer IR780.

TBSSF-Net: three-branch spatial-spectral fusion network for hyperspectral image classification.

Hyperspectral images (HSI) have been extensively applied in a multitude of domains, due to their combined spatial and spectral characteristics along with a wealth of spectral bands. The ingenious combination of spatial and spectral information in HSI classification has remained a central research area for an extended period. In the classification process, it is essential to choose an expanded neighborhood window for learning.

Nodular-defect induced degradation of laser damage resistance of 532 nm high reflectivity coating after exposure to gamma rays.

The coupling effect of gamma-ray radiation and 532 nm nanosecond laser radiation on optical coatings and substrates was investigated. Fused silica and S-BSL7 glass with 532 nm high reflectivity (HR) coatings were irradiated using Co gamma-ray source at a dose rate of 1 Gy/s for a total dose of 1-500 kGy. After irradiation, the samples were subjected to raster scan testing using a laser with a pulse width of approximately 8.
