Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Motor dysfunction is a common sequela, which seriously affects the lives of patients. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a new transcranial magnetic therapy for improving motor dysfunction after stroke.

MPs, which are the main breakdown product of plastics, have been frequently detected in the environment, posing serious threats to organisms' health. One particular pollutant, 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), is a dominant congener of PBDEs and is highly toxic to organisms.

However, existing zero-shot estimators commonly suffer from low consistency, which hampers their practicality. In this work, we theoretically analyze that network generalization and convergence are highly correlated with Sweet Gradient of Parameter, i.

Aims: Alpha B-crystallin (CRYAB), a known molecular chaperone, is involved in the occurrence and development of various tumor types. However, the function of CRYAB in colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs) remains unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the role and possible regulatory mechanisms of CRYAB in the cancer stem cell-like phenotype of colorectal cancer (CRC).
