Article Abstract

One key issue to promote the industrialization of two-dimensional (2D) materials is to grow high-quality and large-scale 2D materials. Investigations of the growth mechanism and growth dynamics are of fundamental importance for the growth of 2D material, in which imaging is highly needed. By applying different imaging techniques, details for growth process, including nucleation and morphology evolution, can be obtained. This review summarizes the recent progress on the imaging of 2D material growth, in which the growth rate, kink dynamics, domain coalescence, growth across the substrate steps, single-atom catalysis, and intermediates have been revealed.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by oxidative stress and progressive motor neuron degeneration. This study evaluates the potential neuroprotective effects of caffeine in the Wobbler mouse, an established model of ALS.

Methods: Wobbler mice received caffeine supplementation (60 mg/kg/day) via drinking water, and key parameters, including muscle strength, NAD metabolism, oxidative stress, and motor neuron morphology, were assessed at critical disease stages.

Coronary periarteritis in IgG4-RD: A case series.

Clin Rheumatol

September 2025

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN, 55906, USA.

Objectives: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) can affect multiple organ systems, with coronary artery involvement being rare. Coronary periarteritis may lead to complications such as myocardial infarction and ischemic cardiomyopathy. This case series characterizes the clinical and radiological features, complications, and treatment strategies in patients with IgG4-RD-associated coronary periarteritis.

Evaluating the Long-term Effects of Microfocused Ultrasound on Facial Tightening Using Quantitative Instruments: Efficacy and Safety.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

September 2025

Department of Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University, No. 613 West, Huangpu Avenue, Guangzhou, 510630, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) is a non-invasive technique used for facial rejuvenation, yet there is limited quantitative data on its long-term effects. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MFU for facial rejuvenation. We utilized standardized photography along with advanced skin assessment technologies to analyze the impact of MFU on facial morphology, skin function, and patient satisfaction over a 12-month period.

Functional synapses between neurons and small cell lung cancer.

Nature

September 2025

Department of Translational Genomics, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of lung cancer, characterized by rapid proliferation, early metastatic spread, frequent early relapse and a high mortality rate. Recent evidence has suggested that innervation has an important role in the development and progression of several types of cancer. Cancer-to-neuron synapses have been reported in gliomas, but whether peripheral tumours can form such structures is unknown.

Background: Patients with synchronous bilateral Wilms tumor (BWT) face challenges in balancing oncological control and nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). This study aimed to identify objective criteria for NSS in BWT by applying SIOP RTSG 2016 Umbrella Study criteria, the RENAL nephrometry scoring system, three-dimensional (3D) tumor volume measurements, and residual healthy kidney volume assessment.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 patients with synchronous BWT.
