A new scoping review examines the impact of respiratory bacteria on the severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections and long-term health outcomes in children.

A research team from the University of Hong Kong has developed a general computational protocol for phosphorescent platinum(II) complexes via high throughput virtual screening and Δ-learning approaches. By generating a large quantity of candidates, rapid HTVS and accurate predictions of vital photophysical properties, this innovative approach has resulted in 12 promising candidates with exceptional performance. This study paves the way for a faster, more reliable and more prosperous future in OLED technologies.

Recently, a joint research team developed a novel quantum-classical computing scheme for designing photochromic materials — light-sensitive compounds — providing a powerful tool to accelerate the discovery of new materials. This research was published Dec. 20, 2024 in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal, in an open access article titled “A Quantum-Classical Method Applied to Material Design: Photochromic Materials Optimization for Photopharmacology Applications.”

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) develops from neural crest cells which originate from the neuroectoderm. Based on the scientific hypothesis that the TMJ, as a "neurogenic joint," is more susceptible to peripheral nerve regulation and innervation.
