Skeletal muscle regeneration research is hindered by the "photodamage-imaging quality" trade-off in three-photon microscopy (3PM). A team from Zhejiang University developed the Multi-Scale Attention Denoising Network (MSAD-Net) to address this: combining MSAD-Net with 3PM reduces excitation power to 1.0–1.5 mW (1/4–1/2 of conventional levels) and scanning time to 2–3 μs/pixel (1/6–1/4 of standard), while maintaining 0.9932 SSIM and real-time denoising (80ms/frame). The system enables five-channel deep in vivo imaging of mouse muscle, uncovering key roles of macrophages and blood vessels in muscle stem cell-mediated repair.

Researchers develop method to guide how MDA-MB-231 cancer cells – an invasive breast cancer cell – stuck, spread, and multiplied by tweaking the curves and chemistry of microscopic 're-entrant' structures.

Researchers from Kunming University of Science and Technology have discovered that certain soil minerals can trap dissolved organic matter released from biochar, keeping more carbon in the soil and potentially enhancing its long-term storage. Their study, published in Biochar, reveals that low-intensity rainfall helps retain this dissolved carbon within mineral-rich soils, limiting its downward movement and loss.

De-Wei Gao's research group at ShanghaiTech University has developed a new method for efficient and highly selective boron-heteroatom functional group exchange reactions. Their method overcomes the inherent difficulty of primary radical instability in traditional free radical chemistry and can achieve highly selective conversion of primary carbon-boron bonds to a variety of heteroatom functional groups. This strategy has been successfully applied to a sugar-derived 1,n-diboron compound system, achieving modular modification and efficient synthesis of sugar molecules and has shown to have potential application in the rapid construction of bioactive molecules. These results were published as an open access article in CCS Chemistry, the flagship journal of the Chinese Chemical Society.

Researchers at UBC Okanagan have uncovered how plants produce mitraphylline, a rare natural compound that may help fight cancer. 

Researchers from Princeton engineering drove a moble lab across the country and found that emissions of methane and nitrous oxide, powerful greenhouse gases, are twice as high as national estimates.
