ARTREM2 macrophage induced pathogenic immunosuppression promotes prostate cancer progression.

The androgen receptor (AR) usually drives prostate cancer cell growth, yet its role in immune cells such as tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), remains unclear. We find that macrophages co-expressing AR and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) exhibiting potent immunosuppressive and tumour-promoting effects. Genetic ablation of TREM2 combined with pharmacological blockade of AR, significantly reduces tumour progression in prostate cancer mouse models.

CVAE-DF: A hybrid deep learning framework for fertilization status detection of pre-incubation duck eggs based on VIS/NIR spectroscopy.

Unfertilized duck eggs not removed prior to incubation will deteriorate quickly, posing a risk of contaminating the normally fertilized duck eggs. Thus, detecting the fertilization status of breeding duck eggs as early as possible is a meaningful and challenging task. Most existing work usually focus on the characteristics of chicken eggs during mid-term hatching.

Nondestructive testing of runny salted egg yolk based on improved ConvNeXt-T.

Salted egg yolks from salted duck eggs are widely utilized in the domestic and international food industry as both raw materials and ingredients. When salted egg yolks are not fully cured and matured, they exist in a fluid state, with a mixture of solid and liquid internally. Due to this composition, they are susceptible to deterioration during storage and usage, necessitating their detection and classification.

A Non-Destructive Detection and Grading Method of the Internal Quality of Preserved Eggs Based on an Improved ConvNext.

As a traditional delicacy in China, preserved eggs inevitably experience instances of substandard quality during the production process. Chinese preserved egg production facilities can only rely on experienced workers to select the preserved eggs. However, the manual selection of preserved eggs presents challenges such as a low efficiency, subjective judgments, high costs, and hindered industrial production processes.

Non-destructive detection of egg white and yolk morphology transformation and salt content of salted duck eggs in salting by hyperspectral imaging.

Salt content is a crucial indicator of the maturity and internal quality of salted duck eggs (SDEs) during the pickling process. However, there is currently no valid and rapid method available for accurately detecting salt content. In the present study, we utilized hyperspectral imaging to no-destructively determine the salt content in egg yolks, egg whites, and whole eggs during the curing period.

Natural Exponential and Three-Dimensional Chaotic System.

Existing chaotic system exhibits unpredictability and nonrepeatability in a deterministic nonlinear architecture, presented as a combination of definiteness and stochasticity. However, traditional two-dimensional chaotic systems cannot provide sufficient information in the dynamic motion and usually feature low sensitivity to initial system input, which makes them computationally prohibitive in accurate time series prediction and weak periodic component detection. Here, a natural exponential and three-dimensional chaotic system with higher sensitivity to initial system input conditions showing astonishing extensibility in time series prediction and image processing is proposed.
