We study a two-dimensional low-dissipation nonautonomous dynamical system, with a control parameter that is swept linearly in time across a transcritical bifurcation. We investigate the relaxation time of a perturbation applied to a variable of the system and we show that critical slowing down may occur at a parameter value well above the bifurcation point. We test experimentally the occurrence of critical slowing down by applying a perturbation to the accessible control parameter and we find that this perturbation leaves the system behavior unaltered, thus providing no useful information on the occurrence of critical slowing down. The theoretical analysis reveals the reasons why these tests fail in predicting an incoming bifurcation.

As human-machine interface hardware advances, better sensors are required to detect signals from different stimuli. Among numerous technologies, humidity sensors are critical for applications across different sectors, including environmental monitoring, food production, agriculture, and healthcare. Current humidity sensors rely on materials that absorb moisture, which can take some time to equilibrate with the surrounding environment, thus slowing their temporal response and limiting their applications.

Brain aging is the leading risk factor for most neurodegenerative diseases and has been linked with high rates of neuron loss. Thus, identifying molecular mechanisms underlying neuron loss and pharmacological modulation may be of great importance for slowing or preventing age-related diseases. Herein, we investigated the roles of miR-92a, Akt, mTOR, and NF-κB in age-associated apoptosis in the hippocampus (a critical structure involved in brain aging) of male rats alone and in combination with prazosin.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant and growing global health challenge, making early detection and slowing disease progression essential for improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods such as glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria are insufficient to capture the complexity of CKD. In contrast, omics technologies have shed light on the molecular mechanisms of CKD, helping to identify biomarkers for disease assessment and management.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies for male individuals globally. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) initially demonstrated significant efficacy in treating PCa; however, most cases of PCa eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which becomes increasingly challenging to manage. Notably, the loss or disruption of primary cilia in PCa cells may play a critical role in the progression of the disease, and there are no reports on the role of circular RNAs in ciliogenesis.

Background: Elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a World Health Organization goal, with several countries at or near prevalence thresholds. Where LF cases remain after mass drug administration, they tend to be spatially clustered, with an overdispersed individual worm burden. Both individual and spatial heterogeneities can cause aggregation of infection; however, few studies have investigated the drivers of heterogeneity and implications for disease elimination.
