Background: Primary intracranial germ cell tumors (iGCTs) are highly malignant brain tumors that predominantly occur in children and adolescents, with an incidence rate ranking third among primary brain tumors in East Asia (8%-15%). Due to their insidious onset and impact on critical functional areas of the brain, these tumors often result in irreversible abnormalities in growth and development, as well as cognitive and motor impairments in affected children. Therefore, early diagnosis through advanced screening techniques is vital for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

A major challenge in the field of synthetic motors relates to mimicking the precise, motion of biological motor proteins, which mediates processes such as cargo transport, cell locomotion, and cell division. To address this challenge, we developed a system to control the motion of DNA-based synthetic motors using light. DNA motors are composed of a central chassis particle modified with DNA "legs" that hybridize to RNA "fuel", and move upon enzymatic consumption of RNA.

One of the primary challenges faced by small rubbing filament machines is the significant variability in material sizes, particularly in the feeding direction. This variability complicates the processing of locally baled straw with a single device. To address this issue, an adjustable feeding and bale-breaking device was developed and tested to enhance the filamentous performance of baled straw.

Orientation angles are commonly used to describe complex angular motions of the body. Selecting the most appropriate rotation sequence for a given segment's motion is crucial. The purpose of this study was to develop a set of generalisable, primary axis-centric sequence selection strategies and to compare the lean direction-lean-rotation (LDLR) sequence, selected for thoracic motion during golf driving based on the strategies, with the conventional rotation-bend-side bend (RBSB) sequence in assessing the level of inter-angle cross-talk.

Prion disease is an uncommon entity characterized by exceptionally rapid neurodegenerative deterioration. There are three categories of prion disease: (1) sporadic: sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), sporadic fatal insomnia, and protease-sensitive prionopathy; (2) genetic: genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, familial fatal insomnia, and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome; and (3) acquired: Kuru, iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Although it is an incurable disease, a specific pathophysiological mechanism exists involving neuronal loss, glial cell proliferation, absence of inflammatory response, development of vacuoles leading to a spongiform appearance, and the presence of prions.
