Academic Background and Research Motivation In the field of dental healthcare, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a widely used three-dimensional imaging technique. CBCT provides three-dimensional images of the oral cavity and is particularly effective in diagnosing odontogenic lesions. However, the segmentation of CBCT images—labeling each vo...

Research on Upper Limb Joint Angle Estimation Based on Visual-Inertial Sensors and the Impact of Calibration Methods Academic Background Upper limb dysfunction, especially in post-stroke patients, significantly impacts their ability to perform daily activities. Rehabilitation training is a critical method for restoring upper limb function, but its ...

Adiporon Ameliorates the Progression of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) by Reducing Lipid Accumulation and Fibrosis Research Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the most common type of heart failure, often coexisting with metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Althoug...

Academic Background With the growing threat of organic compounds to environmental pollution, studying the toxic responses of different aquatic organisms to these compounds has become crucial. Such research not only helps assess the potential ecological impacts of pollutants on the overall aquatic ecosystem but also provides significant scientific f...

Research and Development of a Novel PI3Kα Inhibitor: Molecular Hybridization Technology Leads to a Breakthrough in Lung Cancer Treatment Academic Background Cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, chemotherapy is the primary treatment method, but due to its lack of targetin...

Moscatilin Inhibits Vascular Calcification by Activating IL13RA2-dependent Inhibition of STAT3 and Attenuating the Wnt3/β-catenin Signaling Pathway Background Vascular calcification is a pathological process involving the deposition of hydroxyapatite in the vessel wall, often associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney...

DNA Hypomethylation-Mediated Upregulation of GADD45B Facilitates Airway Inflammation and Epithelial Cell Senescence in COPD Academic Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and irreversible airflow limitation, and it is one of the leading causes of death worldwi...

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Relationship Between Cardiac Fibroblasts and Angiogenesis: The Key Role of ANGPTL4 in HFpEF Background Introduction Heart failure is one of the major global health challenges today. Heart failure is categorized into heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection...

Academic Background Pathological Myocardial Hypertrophy (PMH) is an adaptive response of the heart under various pathological stimuli, but its long-term development ultimately leads to Heart Failure (HF). Although some understanding of the pathogenesis of PMH has been established, its mortality rate remains high, and there is an urgent need for new...

5-HT7R Enhances Neuroimmune Resilience and Alleviates Meningitis by Promoting CCR5 Ubiquitination Academic Background Bacterial meningitis is a rapidly onset, highly fatal disease with epidemic potential, especially when caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.) infection. The destruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leads to the release of inf...
