The decline of oocyte quality with advanced maternal age has a detrimental effect on female fertility. However, there is limited knowledge of therapeutic options and their mechanisms to improve oocyte quality in reproductively older women. In this study, we demonstrated that supplementation of salidroside improves the oocyte quality of reproductively old mice.

These traditional methods often suffer from insufficient precision, resulting in prevalent low-resolution measurements in real thermal scenarios. To address this challenge, we propose a novel general super-resolution approach for temperature field measurement in various thermal scenarios, leveraging the low-resolution (LR) data obtained from sensor array technology.

Additionally, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as regulators of SONFH progression. However, the precise role of miRNAs in the regulation of osteoblast ferroptosis remains unclear.

Traditional deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for RIQA face challenges such as over-reliance on RGB image brightness and difficulty in differentiating closely ranked image quality categories. To address these issues, we introduced the Dual-Path Frequency-domain Cross-attention Network (DFC-Net), which integrates RGB images and contrast-enhanced images using contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) as dual inputs.
