Aero-LiteNet: robust aerial small object detection via multi-scale fusion and neighborhood-aware optimization
Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly utilized in urban management, environmental monitoring, and emergency response, yet accurate detection of small objects remains highly challenging due to scale variations, complex backgrounds, and dense target distributions. To address these issues, we propose Aero-LiteNet, an efficient detection framework designed for UAV-based small object detection. The network incorporates four key innovations.
PDHA1–acetylation signaling suppresses cuproptosis to attenuate anti-androgen effect in prostate cancer - Cell Death & Disease
Abstract Acquired resistance to enzalutamide (Enz) presents a significant challenge in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and overcoming this resistance remains an unmet clinical need. Here, we identified cuproptosis, a copper-dependent mechanism of regulated cell death, as a key driver of Enz resistance. Both in vitro and in vivo models demonstrated that pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha subunit (PDHA1) serves as a critical modulator of cuproptosis and Enz sensitivity.
Nanomagnetic Hyperthermia Sensitizes Gemcitabine Chemosensitivity in Pancreatic Cancer by Inhibiting HSPB1 to Amplify ACSL4‐Mediated Ferroptosis
1 Introduction Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies in the digestive system, with the reported 5-year survival rate approximating only 13% [1] and accounting for nearly 5% of global cancer-related mortality [2]. The majority of pancreatic cancer cases are ineligible for curative resection due to the presence of metastases at diagnosis and chemotherapy there of remains a cornerstone of current therapeutic strategies for this malignancy [3, 4].
