PloS one, Volume 19, Issue 4, 16 3 2024, Pages e0300978 Computer based method for identification of fibrotic scars from electrograms and local activation times on the epi- and endocardial surfaces of the ventricles. Okenov A, Nezlobinsky T, Zeppenfeld K, Vandersickel N, Panfilov AV
Cardiac fibrosis stands as one of the most critical conditions leading to lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Identifying the precise location of cardiac fibrosis is crucial for planning clinical interventions in patients with various forms of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. As fibrosis impedes and alters the path of electrical waves, detecting fibrosis in the heart can be achieved through analyzing electrical signals recorded from its surface. In current clinical practices, it has become feasible t... Abstract
NPJ precision oncology, Volume 8, Issue 1, 16 3 2024, Pages 90 BRAF<sup>V600E</sup>-mutant metastatic NSCLC: disease overview and treatment landscape. Planchard D, Sanborn RE, Negrao MV, Vaishnavi A, Smit EF
In this review, we cover the current understanding of BRAF mutations and associated clinical characteristics in patients with metastatic NSCLC, approved and emerging treatment options, BRAF sequencing approaches, and unmet needs. The BRAFV600E mutation confers constitutive activity of the MAPK pathway, leading to enhanced growth, proliferation, and survival of tumor cells. Testing for BRAF mutations enables patients to be treated with therapies that directly target BRAFV600E and the MAPK pathway... Abstract

ACS applied materials & interfaces, 13 2 2024 Self-Healing Transparent Poly(dimethyl)siloxane with Tunable Mechanical Properties: Toward Enhanced Aging Materials for Space Applications. Yilmaz D, Du Fraysseix M, Lewandowski S, Perraud S, Ibarboure E, Llevot A, Carlotti S
When exposed to the geostationary orbit, polymeric materials tend to degrade on their surface due to the appearance of cracks. Implementing the self-healing concept in polymers going to space is a new approach to enhancing the lifespan of materials that cannot be replaced once launched. In this study, the elaboration of autonomous self-healing transparent poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) materials resistant to proton particles is presented. The PDMS materials are functionalized with various composi... Abstract

FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, Volume 38, Issue 7, 1 1 2024, Pages e23579 Effects of repeated weight cycling on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in diet-induced obese mice. Inia JA, de Jong JCBC, Keijzer N, Menke AL, Princen HMG, Jukema JW, van den Hoek AM
Lifestyle interventions remain the treatment of choice for patients with obesity and metabolic complications, yet are difficult to maintain and often lead to cycles of weight loss and regain (weight cycling). Literature on weight cycling remains controversial and we therefore investigated the association between weight cycling and metabolic complications using preexistent obese mice. Ldlr-/-.Leiden mice received a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks to induce obesity. Subsequently, weight-cycled mi... Abstract
