The study tackles the technical challenges of NH₃ fuel SOFC ship power systems, including slow hydrogen production, low efficiency, and limited space.

Complementary and integrative healthcare (CIH) is a significant aspect of cancer care, with many patients seeking these approaches to manage symptoms and side effects of treatment. A controlled implementation study, titled 'CCC-Integrativ', was conducted to evaluate the effects of an interprofessional evidence-based counseling program for CIH in enhancing patient activation among cancer patients. The study was a prospective controlled non-randomized implementation study with a focus on the micro-, meso-, and macro-level outcomes, accompanied by a mixed-methods process evaluation and health economic analysis. The primary objective was to assess the impact of the program on patient activation, measured by the Patient Activation Measure questionnaire (PAM-13) at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 6-month follow-up.

Chongqing University and Maximum Academic Press (MAP) are very pleased to announce the launch of open-access journal: Plant Hormones.

The team proposed a prenatal depression detection method using the semantically enhanced option embedding (SEOE) model to represent questionnaire options. It can quantitatively determine the relationship and patterns between options and depression.

In a recent study, scientists have introduced an innovative imaging technique that provides an unparalleled view of the bone marrow’s intricate structure, focusing on leptin receptor-expressing (LepR+) stromal cells. 

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China’s "artificial sun," has achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. This accomplishment, reached on Monday, sets a new world record and marks a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion power generation.

Cellular senescence, where cells permanently stop dividing, plays a complex role in liver health. In a recent review article, researchers from China examined the mechanisms behind senescence, its impact on liver cells, and its contribution to liver diseases like metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The review also highlights the potential of senolytic therapies, which target senescent cells to reduce damage, offering hope for improved liver disease treatments.
