A reduced sense of smell is a common condition in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) that negatively affects their quality of life. While often attributed to nasal mucosa inflammation, the underlying causes of the olfactory ...
Childbirth is a life-changing event in a mother's life. While the transition to motherhood has recently been recognized as one of the most neuroplastic periods in adulthood, no study has yet explored whether the ...
This article examines the process by which leaders consolidate power at the expense of their support groups. While institutionalized power sharing has been widely studied, the steps, timing, and trajectories of personalization ...
The 2024 European Parliament elections in the Republic of Cyprus (RoC), held alongside local government elections, marked an unprecedented 'super election day'. This complex electoral event occurred just a year ...
The introduction of immunotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) represents significant progress, yet there remains an opportunity to further improve patient outcomes. Hepatocyte growth ...
Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18) acts as gatekeeper of type I interferon (IFN) responses by binding to the IFN receptor subunit IFNAR2 and preventing activation of the downstream JAK/STAT pathway. In any given cell ...
We compute the chromopolarizabilities of the fully heavy baryons Ω𝑄𝑄𝑄′ (𝑄,𝑄′ =𝑏, 𝑐) in the framework of potential nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics. At leading order, the fully heavy hadrons are considered ...
We propose an effective field theory to describe hadrons with two heavy quarks without any assumption on the typical distance between the heavy quarks with respect to the typical hadronic scale. The construction is based ...
Expressions for the potentials appearing in the nonrelativistic effective field theory description of doubly heavy baryons are known in terms of operator insertions in the Wilson loop. However, their evaluation requires ...
A unique feature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, is the possibility for gluonic degrees of freedom to participate in the construction of physical hadrons, which are color singlets, in ...
The therapeutic use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) becomes more and more important due to their potential for cell replacement procedures as well as due to their immunomodulatory properties. However, protocols for MSCs ...
We present an effective field theory for doubly heavy baryons that goes beyond the compact heavy diquark approximation. The heavy quark distance r is only restricted to mQ>>1/r>>Ebin, where mQ is the mass of ...
Legitimacy plays a critical role in secessionist conflicts, which are per se a struggle about the territorial status of the people and its government alongside the degree of international recognition. This article examines ...
Innovations in deliberative and participatory democracy have been rapidly adopted by policy makers. Long-term success of democratic reform hinges on developing research through open, reproducible, and ethical standards ...
The width 𝐽/𝜓→𝛾𝜂𝑐 is often determined from the photon spectrum line shape of the 𝐽/𝜓→𝛾𝜂𝑐→𝛾𝑋 decay process. We study this line shape in a nonrelativistic effective field theory framework of quantum chromodynamics ...
We consider heavy meson-antimeson pairs and their coupling to quarkonium in the context of nonrelativistic effective field theories (EFTs) incorporating the adiabatic expansion. We work out all the leading order couplings ...
Background: Under regular culture conditions, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit cytosolic calcium concentration oscillations (Ca oscillations), that change, especially in frequency, after the differentiation of the ...
Background: Ovarian cancer, particularly in advanced stages, requires cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy. A significant proportion of patients are elderly, yet older women are often treated with non-standard ...
WNT16 stands up as an essential gene for bone homeostasis. Here, we present new evidence of the functional role of a particular region within WNT16. Performing 4 C chromatin conformation analysis in three osteoblast-related ...
The Born-Oppenheimer approximation is the standard tool for the study of molecular systems. It is founded on the observation that the energy scale of the electron dynamics in a molecule is larger than that of the nuclei. ...
