Tailoring spectral thermal radiation properties via multiple resonances excited by micro/nanoscale-patterned structures plays a vital role in designing functional emitters and devices. However, predicting thermal radiation properties of a structure with multiple resonances-via a fast and accurate algorithm-is still challenging because of the complex mode coupling effects of different resonances. Herein, we establish a temporal coupling mode (TCM) model for a SiC/CaF/Ag cell-based grating by extracting the intrinsic parameters and coupling constants of the resonances.

The measurement of a laser linewidth is significant in metrology, coherent optical communications, high-resolution sensing, and LIDAR. Firstly, in this study, we theoretically explain why estimating an integrated linewidth via a frequency-noise power spectral density (PSD) is valid. We find that the previous methods estimating the integrated linewidth via the frequency-noise PSD result from Gaussian approximation and obtain a more general consequence.

RAS mutations are prevalent in leukemia, including mutations at G12, G13, T58, Q61, K117, and A146. These mutations are often crucial for tumor initiation, maintenance, and recurrence. Although much is known about RAS function in the last 40 years, a substantial knowledge gap remains in understanding the mutation-specific biological activities of RAS in cancer and the approaches needed to target specific RAS mutants effectively.

Health risk prediction aims to forecast the potential health risks that patients may face using their historical Electronic Health Records (EHR). Although several effective models have developed, data insufficiency is a key issue undermining their effectiveness. Various data generation and augmentation methods have been introduced to mitigate this issue by expanding the size of the training data set through learning underlying data distributions.

  • Hepatitis B vaccination is highly effective in preventing HBV transmission, but monitoring and reporting adverse events following immunization (AEFI) is essential for safety.
  • A study in Quzhou from 2011 to 2023 analyzed AEFI reporting rates, symptoms, and onset times, finding a reporting rate of 17.55 AEFI per 100,000 doses, with the majority being non-serious.
  • The research showed that AEFI were mostly related to vaccine product reactions and common symptoms included fever and local site reactions; it also noted that AEFI rates were higher for the CHO vaccine compared to yeast vaccines, especially in children under one year old receiving subsequent doses.

  • - Subchondral bone sclerosis is a major feature of osteoarthritis (OA), and while Forkhead box C1 (FoxC1) is known to influence inflammation in OA, its specific role in subchondral bone has not been previously studied.
  • - Research found higher levels of FoxC1 and Piezo1 in OA subchondral bone, and overexpression of these proteins in osteoblasts led to increased cell growth, YAP expression, osteogenic markers, and pro-inflammatory factor secretion.
  • - The study indicates that FoxC1's role in OA subchondral bone involves activation of Piezo1 and YAP signaling, suggesting that these pathways might offer new therapeutic targets for treating OA-related damage.*

Background: Existing epidemiological data indicated a correlation between thyroid cancer (THCA) and the risk of secondary primary malignancies (SPMs). However, the correlation does not always imply causality.

Methods: The Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were performed to investigate the causal relationships between THCA and SPMs based on international multicenter data.

The methyltransferase SETD3 is an enzyme essential for catalyzing histidine-73 methylation on β-Actin, thereby promoting its polymerization and regulating muscle contraction. Although increasing evidence suggests that SETD3 is involved in multiple physiological or pathological events, its biological functions remain incompletely understood. In this study, we utilize proximity labeling combined with mass spectrometry analysis to detect potential interacting partners of SETD3.

  • Duck plague virus (DPV) is the only known herpes virus that can be transmitted among aquatic animals, causing immune suppression in ducks, geese, and swans.
  • This study focused on the role of long noncoding RNAs (LncRNA), specifically Lnc BTU, in how DPV affects the innate immune response, showing that Lnc BTU not only promotes DPV replication but also inhibits key antiviral factors like STAT1 and interferons.
  • The findings suggest that DPV exploits Lnc BTU to evade the immune response, identifying potential therapeutic targets for managing DPV infections in waterfowl.
