DIANA-LncBase v3.0 (www.microrna.gr/LncBase) is a reference repository with experimentally supported miRNA targets on non-coding transcripts. Its third version provides approximately half a million entries, corresponding to ∼240 000 unique tissue and cell type specific miRNA-lncRNA pairs. This compilation of interactions is derived from the manual curation of publications and the analysis of >300 high-throughput datasets. miRNA targets are supported by 14 experimental methodologies, applied to 243 distinct cell types and tissues in human and mouse. The largest part of the database is highly confident, AGO-CLIP-derived miRNA-binding events. LncBase v3.0 is the first relevant database to employ a robust CLIP-Seq-guided algorithm, microCLIP framework, to analyze 236 AGO-CLIP-Seq libraries and catalogue ∼370 000 miRNA binding events. The database was redesigned from the ground up, providing new functionalities. Known short variant information, on >67,000 experimentally supported target sites and lncRNA expression profiles in different cellular compartments are catered to users. Interactive visualization plots, portraying correlations of miRNA-lncRNA pairs, as well as lncRNA expression profiles in a wide range of cell types and tissues, are presented for the first time through a dedicated page. LncBase v3.0 constitutes a valuable asset for ncRNA research, providing new insights to the understanding of the still widely unexplored lncRNA functions.

More Than a Sense: The Sense of Smell and Its Reflection in Mother and Baby: A Comprehensive Review.
J Eval Clin Pract

Department of Midwifery, Faculty of Health Sciences, Biruni University, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Introduction: The sense of smell is one of the most developed and important senses that forms the bond between the newborn and the mother and allows the newborn to reach the mother's breast. The sense of smell begins to form during intrauterine life, and the sense of smell can be a marking tool for a newborn baby, so that the baby can recognize both his mother and his immediate environment and develop his behaviour accordingly. This is necessary not only for feeding babies but also for them to feel safe and peaceful in their new environment.

Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining bone health and development, and bone mineral accumulation during childhood and adolescence affects long-term bone health. Vitamin D deficiency has been widely recognized as one of the main causes of osteoporosis and fractures, especially during the growth and development stage of children. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency may affect the deviation of bone development in children by mediating lipid metabolism disorders, but its specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated.

School of Mechanical Engineering, Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Jinan, 250353, China.
Microtextured microneedles are tiny needle-like structures with micron-scale microtextures, and the drugs stored in the microtextures can be released after entering the skin to achieve the effect of precise drug delivery. In this study, the skin substitution model of Ogden's hyperelastic model and the microneedle array and microtexture models with different geometrical parameters were selected to simulate and analyse the flow of the microtexture microneedle arrays penetrating the skin by the finite-element method, and the length of the microneedles was determined to be 200 μm, the width 160 μm, and the value of the gaps was determined to be 420 μm. A four-pronged cone was chosen as the shape of microneedles, and a rectangle was chosen as the shape of the drug-carrying microneedle.

Nanyang Vocational College, Nanyang, 473000, China.
In the course of pipe jacking construction, the carrying-soil effect frequently arises, influenced by factors such as excavation unloading, ongoing disturbance from successive pipe sections, and the progressive accumulation of soil adhesion. The pipe jacking slurry serves as a critical agent for friction reduction and strata support, essential for the secure advancement of the construction process. This study introduces the Microbial-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology into the realm of pipe jacking slurry, aiming to enhance its friction-reduction capabilities and the stability of the soil enveloping the pipe.

The management and creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is currently under great focus, with international organisations aiming to protect 30% of our oceans by 2030. The success of MPAs depends on a nuanced understanding of local ecological dynamics and threats, which can significantly influence ecosystem balance. Herbivory can be a stressor for foundation species, namely kelp forests, contributing to their decline in several regions of the globe.
