1. IntroductionPancreatic cancer stands as the most aggressive malignancy among gastrointestinal tumors, marked by an exceedingly poor prognosis and a five-year survival rate of less than 9% [1,2,3]. In the absence of targeted and effective treatments, pancreatic cancer is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths by 2030 [4].

1 Introduction Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is the most common pathology behind vascular cognitive impairment and the usual dementia cause in the elderly [1-3]. Clinically accepted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of CSVD includes lacunar infarcts, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds, enlarged perivascular spaces, and brain atrophy [4]. Among these, WMH is a major risk factor for incident cognitive decline in CSVD [5-7].

AbstractThe bioavailable nitrogen fixed by diazotrophs is critical for sustaining productivity in the oligotrophic ocean. Despite this, understanding how diazotroph-derived nitrogen integrates into the nitrogen cycle within the euphotic zone remains unknown. Here, we investigated nitrogen fixation rates in the particulate and dissolved fractions within the euphotic zone of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre.

AbstractPatients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) frequently exhibit concomitant immunosuppression. In this study, we evaluated the predictive values of soluble programmed death-1 (sPD-1) and soluble programmed death ligand-1 (sPD-L1) in patients with severe TBI. Peripheral blood sPD-1 and sPD-L1 levels were measured within 48 h of patient admission. A total of 20 healthy volunteers and 82 patients were enrolled in this study.

AbstractUnified visual perception requires integration of bottom-up and top-down inputs in the primary visual cortex (V1), yet the organization of top-down inputs in V1 remains unclear. Here, we used optogenetics-assisted circuit mapping to identify how multiple top-down inputs from higher-order cortical and thalamic areas engage V1 excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Top-down inputs overlap in superficial layers yet segregate in deep layers.
