Researchers developed a neuromorphic vision device that mimics human visual adaptation to varying lighting conditions.
The device uses a TiO₂/PEDOT photomemristor to physically adapt its photosensitivity without external processing.
Under bright light, the device suppresses photosensitivity by reducing conductivity through a water desorption process.
The system demonstrated a recognition accuracy of 93.7% in mixed-light environments, outperforming conventional adaptive sensors.
This technology highlights the potential of biological principles in advancing artificial vision systems.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 10% of the global population and is linked to significant cardiovascular complications.
Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is recommended for detecting left ventricular systolic dysfunction in CKD patients due to its high sensitivity.
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is associated with global longitudinal strain (GLS) and can help identify CKD patients at high risk for abnormal GLS.
A nomogram model based on the TyG index was developed to predict abnormal GLS in CKD patients, demonstrating robust predictive performance.
The study aims to optimize the use of STE in CKD patients, potentially conserving healthcare resources by targeting high-risk individuals.

PCP4 downregulation promotes prostate cancer progression by activating the Ca2+/CAMKK2/AMPK/AR signaling axis.
The study identifies PCP4 as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic marker in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Low PCP4 expression correlates with higher T stage, Gleason score, and shorter disease-free survival in prostate cancer patients.
PCP4 is a repressive target gene of AR, revealing a feedback loop that drives tumor progression in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The study establishes a comprehensive research framework that enhances the rigor and reliability of findings in prostate cancer research.

Cholangioscopy-assisted ERCP significantly reduced median radiation exposure compared to conventional fluoroscopy-guided ERCP (9.93 vs. 14.64 mGy, p < 0.001).
After IPTW adjustment, cholangioscopy assistance was linked to a lower risk of high radiation exposure (risk ratio 0.301, p = 0.042).
Procedure time and hospitalization costs were higher for cholangioscopy-assisted ERCP, while the length of stay was shorter compared to conventional ERCP.
Complete duct clearance in one session was achieved in 88.0% of cholangioscopy-assisted cases versus 94.0% in the conventional group.
No significant differences in short-term adverse events were observed between cholangioscopy-assisted and conventional ERCP groups.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy targeting PD-1/PD-L1 has transformed cancer treatment but responses are limited to a subset of patients.
Resistance to ICB is often due to an immunologically 'cold' tumor microenvironment (TME) with few infiltrating immune cells.
Inducing tumor-intrinsic innate immune responses through viral mimicry may convert 'cold' tumors to 'hot' and enhance ICB efficacy.
The TME's cellular and non-cellular components critically influence tumor sensitivity to ICB therapy.
Strategies to overcome ICB resistance include epigenetic therapies, agents affecting nucleic acid metabolism, and DNA damage inducers.
