Decades of research have gone into developing effective dengue vaccines to protect the world’s population against Dengue fever—a global health threat. In spite of this, there are significant challenges to this problem. This Pediatric Investigation review explores the status, efficacy, safety, and limitations of current dengue vaccines, while highlighting main themes for future research, like antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), region-specific vaccine formulations, and advanced vaccine platforms, to build an era of dengue-free world.
A new study in Engineering introduces the electroactive biofiltration dynamic membrane (EBDM). Developed by researchers from Tongji University, this innovation aims to enhance wastewater treatment and mitigate membrane fouling. Tests show it has the potential to improve treatment efficiency and methane production, offering a promising solution for the wastewater treatment field.
A new UAS traffic management platform named AcrOSS, detailed in a paper published in Engineering, has been developed by researchers from the University of Salento. Designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of unmanned aircraft system operations in critical areas, the platform features a three-layer architecture and has undergone experimental testing, offering both promising results and areas for improvement.
A new study in Engineering presents an adaptive quantum computing-based model predictive control strategy for building energy management. It aims to boost energy efficiency and decarbonize buildings, and experiments show promising results in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Scientists have identified a key gene that regulates sugar metabolism and dramatically improves tomato fruit quality and resilience after harvest.
A study published in Engineering introduces a synchronous-asynchronous ambient noise observation system. It was tested in an abandoned parking lot in Hangzhou to detect karst features. This new system addresses challenges like non-uniform noise source distribution and enables cost-effective, high-resolution subsurface imaging for urban geohazard investigations.
The state-of-the-art digital detector array, developed by the Institute of Modern Physics offers a high - precision measurement tool for the study of exotic nuclei decay. This system demonstrates unique advantages in accurately measuring rare decay processes such as β-delayed proton emission, α decay, and direct proton radioactivity. Verified by experiments on the radioactive isotope 32Ar and its neighboring nuclei, the system achieves excellent timing and energy resolution, promoting our understanding of nuclear structure and astrophysical processes.
A new study in Engineering introduces an innovative N-glycoproteomic workflow. This method aims to overcome the limitations of current approaches in analyzing the low-abundant N-glycoproteome in human blood plasma. It shows promise in expanding the detection range of glycoproteins, differentiating complex N–glycan structures, and identifying rare N-glycans, potentially advancing the discovery of blood plasma biomarkers.
