Phenotypic plasticity, or adaptability, of a cell determines its ability to survive and function within changing cellular environments.Changes in the mechanical environment, ranging from stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to physical stress such as tension, compression, and shear, are critical environmental cues that influence phenotypic p
Abstract Background The policy drive for the UK National Health Service (NHS) has focused on the need for high quality services informed by evidence of best practice.The introduction of care pathways and protocols to standardise care and support implementation of evidence into practice has taken place across the NHS with limited evaluation of their
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor MYC2 regulates plant growth and development in many aspects through the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway, while the role of MYC2 in plant carbohydrate metabolism has not been reported.Here, we generated NtMYC2a-overexpressing (NtMYC2a-OE) and RNA-interference-mediated knockdown (NtMYC2a-RI) tra
Cybersickness is one of the major roadblocks in the widespread adoption of mixed reality devices.Prolonged exposure to these devices, especially virtual reality devices, can cause users to nori seaweed feel discomfort and nausea, spoiling the immersive experience.Incorporating spatial blur in stereoscopic 3D stimuli has shown to reduce cybersicknes
In the evolving landscape of autonomous driving technology, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors have emerged as a pivotal instrument for enhancing environmental perception.They can offer precise, high-resolution, real-time 3D representations around a vehicle, and the ability for long-range measurements under low-light conditions.However, th
