Inverse Design of Pre-Strain via a Predictive Electromechanical Model for Enhanced Strain Sensing
1 Introduction The ongoing convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence [1, 2] has elevated strain-sensing technology into a critical interface bridging the physical and digital worlds [3-6]. Among the earliest strain-sensor architectures [3, 7], piezoresistive sensors remain widely deployed owing to their structural simplicity, low fabrication cost, DC-compatible (zero-frequency) response, and straightforward signal conditioning [8].

A unified mechano-ionic skin for resolving native electromechanical coupling
Abstract The beat-to-beat electromechanical coupling between cardiac excitation and arterial pulse propagation encodes vital cardiovascular insights, but resolving this coherence in wearables is hindered by the spatial decoupling of sensors and attenuated epidermal signals. Here, we report a unified mechano-ionic skin that preserves this coherence through conducting biopotentials and efficiently transducing arterial pressures along a single ion-conducting pathway.

Durability and heavy-metal stabilization of electrolytic manganese residue–steel slag cementitious binders under water, sulfate and chloride exposure
Abstract Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) and steel slag (SS) are major industrial byproducts with distinct chemical and environmental characteristics. EMR contains high levels of leachable NH4+ and Mn2+, whereas SS is mainly composed of Ca, Si, Fe and Mg bearing phases and may also contain trace metal-bearing components.

Huoxue Qianyang Qutan Recipe limits cardiac remodeling by regulating FUNDC1/IP3R2 signaling pathway in obese hypertensive rats
Abstract Obese hypertension (OBH) increases cardiovascular risk through myocardial remodeling, which is associated with disrupted mitochondrial Ca²⁺ homeostasis and dysfunction of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAM). Huoxue Qianyang Qutan Recipe (HQQR) has been shown to lower blood pressure in OBH, but its mechanism related to MAM remains unclear. In this study, phenotypic assessments in OBH rats included blood pressure, morphological parameters, and cardiac ultrasound.
Domain-informed weight forecasting: leveraging behavioral and physiological sequences from wearables
Abstract Background: Short-term body-weight forecasting may support personalized weight monitoring, but many existing approaches rely on contemporaneous body weight or body mass index as model inputs, which limits practical use when frequent weigh-ins are unavailable. Methods: We developed a direct multi-step forecasting framework to predict 7-day body-weight trajectories from 14 days of behavioral, physiological, and lifestyle variables.

Quantitative analysis of small RNA pseudouridylation reveals interplay of PUS enzymes in tRNA anticodon stem-loop - Nature Communications
Abstract Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant modification in small RNA catalyzed by multiple pseudouridine synthases (PUSs). However, the substrate specificity of human PUSs remains elusive. Here, we adopted PRAISE, a quantitative Ψ detection method, to profile pseudouridylation in small RNA, including cytosolic and mitochondrial tRNAs, snRNA, and snoRNA. We found that snoRNA pseudouridylation is mediated not only by RNA-guided DKC1, but also by the stand-alone enzyme PUS7 at a specific site.

Senataxin promotes recombination fidelity during antigen receptor gene diversification
Editor’s summary To ensure a diverse repertoire of antigen receptors in T and B cells, their genes undergo V(D)J recombination, which is initiated by the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the RAG complex and followed by DNA repair through the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. Through a CRISPR-Cas9–based screen, Libri et al. identified the RNA/DNA helicase senataxin as playing a previously uncharacterized role in V(D)J recombination.

Mild and ultrafast GLORI enables absolute quantification of m6A methylome from low-input samples - Nature Methods
Abstract Methods for absolute quantification of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) have emerged as powerful tools in epitranscriptomics. We previously reported GLORI, a chemical-assisted approach to achieve unbiased and precise m6A measurement. However, its lengthy reaction time and severe RNA degradation have limited its applicability, particularly for low-input samples.
Temporal characteristics of remimazolam‐induced sedation in paediatric anaesthesia: observations from a multicentre trial
The multicentre trial by Fang et al. is the first controlled trial assessing both the efficacy and safety of remimazolam in children [1], providing useful data for paediatric sedation practice. However, we wish to explore a pharmacokinetic observation regarding the pharmacokinetic-temporal relationship between drug administration and loss of consciousness. While the Methods specify 60-s administration for both drugs, median loss of consciousness occurred at 45 s (remimazolam) and 25 s (propofol).

Development of a low‐cost microscopic vision‐based real‐time strain sensor using Raspberry Pi
1 INTRODUCTION In the field of structural health monitoring (Pezeshki, Adeli, et al., 2023), structural strain is a crucial monitoring parameter (Das & Saha, 2018). Compared to cracks and structural displacement, strain of structures can reflect microscopic structural alterations. Such changes are often imperceptible at the macroscopic level.

Matching‐Assisted Power Prior for Incorporating Real‐World Data in Randomized Clinical Trial Analysis
1 Introduction Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have been the gold standard for assessing the safety and efficacy of drug development. They balance measured and unmeasured confounders, which helps establish a clear causal relationship between treatment and outcome. This means that the differences in outcomes observed in the trial are attributed to the different interventions assigned to patients, rather than being confounded by other imbalanced baseline covariates.
A Matched Design for Causal Inference With Survey Data: Evaluation of Medical Marijuana Legalization in Kentucky and Tennessee
1 Introduction Surveys are a valuable source of information for health program and policy evaluation, as they can gather individual-level information about pertinent behaviors and attitudes that are not easily measured for all members of a population. Furthermore, through the use of weights, survey data can produce estimates that are representative of their target population.
The value of blockchain for shipping platforms: a perspective from multi-homing and network effects
Abstract Traditional information structures within shipping supply chain platforms often grapple with inefficient decision-making processes, hindering overall efficiency. Blockchain is increasingly utilised in shipping platforms, employing decentralised distributed ledgers to transform the information architecture of supply chains, which are typically characterised by centralised management and fragmented data.
