Summary: We present a formalism that sums up the soft-virtual and next-to-SV diagonal contributions in hadron colliders to all orders in perturbative QCD. We show the exponential behavior of the soft-collinear function, allowing predictions of certain SV and NSV terms from lower order information. We also provide an integral representation suitable for Mellin N-space resummation for coefficient functions.

Summary: GLP-1 receptor agonists can be used for conditions other than diabetes and obesity, such as improving motor scores in Parkinson's Disease, enhancing brain glucose metabolism in Alzheimer's disease, and improving quality of life in depression.

Summary: Mediator is a large multiprotein complex conserved in eukaryotes with a crucial role in regulating RNA polymerase II transcription. Studies have revealed its relationship with chromatin architecture, its role in connecting transcription with DNA repair, and proposed an emerging mechanism of phase separation involving Mediator condensates. Recent developments point to multiple functions of Mediator beyond transcriptional processes, explaining its involvement in various human pathologies.

Summary: Label-free optical biosensing has great potential in biomedical diagnostics, environmental and food safety, and security. However, it lacks the sensitivity of traditional labelling methods. This article explores ways to overcome the sensitivity barriers and achieve superior sensitivity in label-free biosensing through novel structural architectures, artificial materials, and the use of optical phase as a sensing parameter.

Summary: This paper explores techniques for reducing homopolymer errors in sequencing data and introduces a more general transformation method called mapping-friendly sequence reductions. Experimental results demonstrate that mapping-friendly sequence reductions can improve alignment accuracy, outperforming homopolymer compression.

Summary: EZH2, a core subunit of PRC2, plays a crucial role in regulating cellular identity and stem cell maintenance through its histone methyltransferase activity. Dysregulation of EZH2 is frequently observed in various cancers, including prostate cancer. Despite some studies reporting its tumor suppressive and oncogenic functions, there are discrepancies in EZH2 and H3K27 methylation, and enzymatic inhibitors have shown limited efficacy in prostate cancer.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in scientific and clinical work on the etiology and treatment of substance use and addiction. Current theories focus on the deficits in neurobiological and psychological reward mechanisms as the root cause of addiction, as well as the coping-oriented effort to deal with negative emotional experiences. This perspective article advocates for an integrative approach to understanding and addressing addiction in psychotherapy, considering its biological, psychological, and social aspects.

Summary: In order to address climate change and protect jobs, it is necessary to facilitate an effective and just transition to low-carbon industries. Although there are currently no successful sector-wide decarbonisation interventions, industrialized governments are starting to provide policy and funding support for carbon capture and low-carbon hydrogen infrastructure in high-emitting industrial clusters. However, solutions for dispersed industrial sites outside of clusters are also required.

Summary: Surface coatings of immobilized polymer brushes, formed through a fast and versatile scaled SI-CRP approach, have various uses including as lubricants, anti-fouling coatings, and adhesives. The chemical process allows for easy preparation and reuse of the solution for over 6 hours, even in the presence of oxygen, without the need for an inert atmosphere. This method can be carried out under ambient conditions with no significant loss of polymerization activity and viability, making it industrially relevant and enabling uniform polymer brush-functionalized materials for a broader range of applications.

Summary: Klinefelter syndrome is a common condition that is often not recognized in childhood. It can cause testicular dysfunction and delay in speech and development. Boys with Klinefelter syndrome may experience faster growth, but extreme tall stature is rare. They may require speech and developmental support, and are at risk of impairment in social cognition and perception. Testosterone supplementation can be used to treat clinical hypogonadism.

Summary: Compared to orthopedics, the application of 3D printing in the gastrointestinal system is still less developed. Current clinical applications mainly focus on preoperative planning, surgical guidance, and education. Promising results have been achieved, but there is a lack of reasonable study design and proper comparisons. Key requirements in clinical scenarios include structural reconstruction, replacement, defect repair, drug screening, and delivery. Most studies have been conducted on small animal or in vitro models, and achieving prints that are compatible with human size, histology, and functions still requires further progress.

Summary: Ethylene epoxidation is a crucial selective oxidation process in industry and commerce. In this study, we computationally screened metals in the periodic table, identified promising catalysts (Ag/CuPb, Ag/CuCd, and Ag/CuTl), and experimentally demonstrated their superior performance compared to pure-Ag catalysts. We also emphasized the importance of considering relevant in situ conditions for accurate catalyst design and showed that the combination of ab initio calculations, scaling relations, and rigorous reactor microkinetic modeling bridged the gap between first-principles simulations and industrial applications.
