Protein misfolding and subsequent aggregation into insoluble amyloid deposits are associated with various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, systemic amyloidosis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In T2DM, the peptide hormone islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), which regulates glucose homeostasis, aggregates in the pancreas, forming soluble cyt ...

Background: It is unknown if prevalent vertebral fracture (PVFx) captured on bone density vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) images predicts incident CVD events. Methods: 11,760 individuals (mean [SD] age 75.7 [6.8] years, 94 % female) had VFA contemporaneously with bone densitometry in Manitob ...

Organic electrode materials offer a versatile, sustainable approach for next-generation lithium-ion batteries but are limited by low working voltages and poor cycling stability. Here we report a solid-solvation-structure design strategy to improve both the voltage and stability of organic electro ...

The discovery that midbrain dopamine (DA) transients can be mapped onto reward prediction errors (RPEs), the critical signal that drives learning, is a landmark in neuroscience. Causal support for the RPE hypothesis comes from studies showing that stimulating DA neurons can drive learning under c ...

Loss of brain tissues and cognitive abilities are natural processes of aging, but longitudinal studies are limited. We explored the longitudinal association between global and regional brain measures with cognitive abilities among individuals with normal cognitive status, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's Disease, including those with stable ...

Industrial fishing's harmful subsidies fuel both a fish stock crisis and rising greenhouse gas emissions, even as calls for a global ban by the World Trade Organization persist amid slow progress. This study employs the framework of climate policy stringency assessment to examine fisheries subsidy reform through a carbon pricing lens. Using emissions, ...

We resolve a phase identification controversy in the Ag-Sn-S material system by unraveling the polymorphic structure of nanocrystals within the argyrodite material family. Argyrodites are a class of superionic materials used in their bulk form for applications in solid-state batteries and thermoe ...

Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and prognosis of viral pneumonia. However, distinguishing COVID-19 CXRs from other viral infections remains challenging due to highly similar radiographic features. Most existing deep learning (DL) models focus on differentiating COV ...
