Nondestructive Ultrasonic Inspection of Composite Materials: A Comparative Advantage of Phased Array Ultrasonic

Carbon- and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP and GFRP) composite materials have been used in many industries such as aerospace and automobile because of their outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.The quality of these materials is important for safe operation.Nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques are an effective way t

Prediction model of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma in patients receiving antiviral therapy

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which ultimately leads to liver cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains a significant disease burden worldwide.Despite the use of antiviral therapy (AVT) using oral nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) with high genetic barriers, the risk of HCC development cannot be complete

Co-loaded lapatinib/PAB by ferritin nanoparticles eliminated ECM-detached cluster cells via modulating EGFR in triple-negative breast cancer

Abstract Cancer stem cell (CSC) cluster of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is suggested to be responsible for therapy resistance, metastatic process and cancer recurrence, yet the sensitivity of CSC clusters of TNBC to ferroptosis remains elusive in a great measure.Current research revealed that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) reinforc
