Cervical cancer (CC) is characterized by widespread transcriptomic dysregulation, yet sequence matching patterns between mRNAs and their corresponding introns remain insufficiently characterized in differentially expressed genes (DEGs). This study ai...

Capillary electrophoresis with Capacitively Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detection (CE-C4D) offers high analytical efficiency and low sample consumption. However, commercial instrumentation remains cost-prohibitive for resource-limited or citizen...

Plant basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors constitute one of the largest and most functionally diverse transcription factor families in plants. Through a conserved bHLH domain, they bind E-box cis-elements or dimerize with partner prot...

Chronic coronary syndromes (CCSs) are no longer defined only by fixed stenosis of the epicardial coronary arteries. CCSs reflect a dynamic biological process. Key contributors include endothelial activation, lipid retention, macrophage foam-cell form...

Using surrogates of uranium-silicide dispersion fuel (U₃Si₂-Al), the chemical behavior of aluminum, silicon, and uranium in alkaline media was investigated. Dissolution of the aluminum matrix in 2.2 M NaOH containing 1.76 M NaNO₃ at 70 °C proceed...

Export complexity is usually measured for whole countries, although the capabilities behind complex exports are unevenly distributed within them. This study measures the export-weighted product complexity of Lithuania’s ten counties annually ov...

Proper hydration is important for athletic performance and recovery, but many athletes do not accurately track how much water or energy fluid they drink during training. At present, many systems use bottles with hardware like weight sensors, liquid-l...

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated their potential for a wide range of applications, including biomedical and clinical domains. Their ability to process and interpret large amounts of data, reason over clinical cases, a...
