Distinct Infection Mechanisms of <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> AG-1 IA and AG-4 HG-I+II in <i>Brachypodium distachyon</i> and Barley

Rhizoctonia solani is a basidiomycete phytopathogenic fungus that causes rapid necrosis in a wide range of crop species, leading to substantial agricultural losses worldwide. The species complex is divided into 13 anastomosis groups (AGs) b...

Correction to: Evaluating a screener to quantify PTSD risk using emergency care information: a proof of concept study

An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via the original article....

Phase-resolved prediction of ocean wave field using video prediction

Short-term phase-resolved ocean wave field prediction is desired for safe and efficient offshore operation. The dynamics of ocean waves are influenced by ambient currents, nonlinearity, and finite depth, which are difficult to characterize ...

Assessing the impact of the Kuroshio Current on vertical cloud structure using CloudSat data

This study analyzed CloudSat satellite data to determine how the warm ocean Kuroshio Current affects the vertical structure of clouds. Rainfall intensity around the middle troposphere (6 km in height) over the Kuroshio was greater than tha...

Preclinical Characterization of Mobocertinib Highlights the Putative Therapeutic Window of This Novel EGFR Inhibitor to EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

Introduction: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations account for 10% of all EGFR mutations and are mostly insensitive to approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs). Novel EGFR TKIs have been developed or repurposed for these mutants. A ...

Social and biological pathways linking relationships with companion animals to human well-being

IntroductionCompanion animals are widely recognized for their potential to support human mental health and well-being. These benefits may arise through changes in social relationships and physiological processes. This study examined whether...

Synthetic Tactile Sensor for Macroscopic Roughness Estimation Based on Spatial-Coding Contact Processing

Traditional tactile sensors primarily measure macroscopic surface features but do not directly estimate how humans perceive such surface roughness. Sensors that mimic human tactile processing could bridge this gap. This study proposes a met...

Time-in-range and hypoglycemia in cognitive health of older adults with Type 2 diabetes: An emerging evidence synthesis

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a recognized risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia, but the mechanisms linking glycemic dysregulation to brain health remain incompletely understood. Glycated hemoglobin captures long-term average...

Editorial: Task-Related Brain Systems Revealed by Human Imaging Experiments

Wilms Tumor 1b defines a wound-specific sheath cell subpopulation associated with notochord repair

Regenerative therapy for degenerative spine disorders requires the identification of cells that can slow down and possibly reverse degenerative processes. Here, we identify an unanticipated wound-specific notochord sheath cell subpopulation...

Doublecortin-like kinase 1 compromises DNA repair and induces chromosomal instability

Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is a serine/threonine-kinase with two doublecortin (DCX) domains. DCLK1 is associated with microtubules via DCX domains and regulates microtubule polymerization. DCLK1 is known to be expressed in cancer st...

Polymer brush in articular cartilage lubrication: Nanoscale modelling and simulation

Human knee joints move smoothly under high load conditions due to articular cartilage and synovial fluid. Much attention is paid to the role of proteoglycans. It is suggested that a part of proteoglycan forms aggregate on the cartilage surf...

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein-1 is expressed and involved in the inflammatory response in human sebocytes

Sebocytes express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), which participate in the innate immune response of the skin. Although the roles of TLRs and NLR family pyrin domain-cont...

The Functional Role of Long Non-Coding RNA in Myogenesis and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

Skeletal muscle is a pivotal organ in humans that maintains locomotion and homeostasis. Muscle atrophy caused by sarcopenia and cachexia, which results in reduced muscle mass and impaired skeletal muscle function, is a serious health condit...

Tatsuno architectural style in Manchuria

The main goal of the article is to study the transformation of the style of banking and consular institutions in Manchuria in comparison with its Japanese counterparts. The first part of the work provides an introduction and indicates the r...

Ground calibration tests of the laser altimeter (LIDAR) for MMX mission

Abstract The spacecraft for the Japanese Martian Moon eXploration mission is equipped with a LIDAR laser altimeter. The slant range continuously measured by the LIDAR is used for the correction of the local topography and the orbit and atti...

Novel fractional integral inequalities for GA-Cr-convex functions and connections with information systems

Due to applicability of mathematical inequalities in control systems, actuarial science, information theory and its utilization in other sciences, several researchers are inclined to prove their refinements and generalizations. In the study...

Intra-seasonal Variation of Rainfall and Climate Characteristics in Kabul River Basin

In Afghanistan, spring and summertime flash floods result in 54.3% of all natural disasters with an average annual economic loss of US$92.17 million between 1990 and 2014. Knowledge of climate and rainfall periodicity are urgently needed fo...

A Theory for Estuarine Delta Formation with Finite Beach Length under Sediment Supplied from the River

Analytical solutions for a one-line model for shoreline changes are employed to investigate the formation of two wave-dominated river delta coastlines, along with a small-scale laboratory experiment. Since the present analytical solution ca...

The High Frequency of a G-Allele Variant of the <i>FOXP3</i> Gene in Old Asian Cattle Breeds, Water Buffaloes, and Holstein Friesian Cows: A Potential Link to Infertility

Reproductive failure in cattle production is a global concern and is influenced by various factors, including genetic alterations. This study explored the relationship between an X-linked single-nucleotide variant (NC_037357.1: g.87298881A>...
