A detailed study is conducted on the polarization characteristics of full Poincaré beams (FPBs) propagating through atmospheric turbulence, including polarization state, degree of polarization, OAM-resolved Stokes parameters, and OAM-resolved degree of polarization. Analytical solutions for the cross-spectral density matrix and its corresponding coherence-orbital angular momentum (COAM) matrix are formulated. We show that the polarization distribution of the propagating FPBs in turbulence, at any transversal plane, still remains a stereographic projection of the Poincaré sphere but rotates with respect to its propagation axis. The rotation angle, however, is independent of the turbulence. Further, we reveal the selection rule for governing the correlations of any two OAM modes which contain the turbulence-disturbed FPBs through OAM mode analysis. Based on the selection rule, we show that the OAM-resolved Stokes parameters and OAM-resolved degree of polarization exhibit diverse evolution behavior in the turbulence.

Significance: Tumor tissues exhibit contrast with healthy tissue in circular degree of polarization (DOP) images via higher magnitude circular DOP values and increased helicity-flipping. This phenomenon may enable polarimetric tumor detection and surgical/procedural guidance applications.
Aim: Depolarization metrics have been shown to exhibit differential responses to healthy and cancer tissue, whereby tumor tissues tend to induce less depolarization; however, the understanding of this depolarization-based contrast remains limited.

Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a prevalent neurological disorder worldwide, is marked by varying degrees of neurological dysfunction. A key contributor to secondary damage and impediments in the repair process is the unregulated activation of microglia, which triggers neuroinflammation. Emerging evidence highlights the therapeutic potential of transcranial pulsed current stimulation (tPCS) in mitigating neurological deficits.

Objectives: In this study, we explored the mechanism by which DDIT4 influences the polarization phenotypic transformation of macrophages and inflammation through the regulation of mTOR signaling pathway, providing a new mechanism and target for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: The degree of inflammation and injury in renal tissues of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) animal model was evaluated using biochemical assays, renal pathology examinations, and Western blot tests. Podocytes and macrophages were isolated from renal tissues to observe the extent of podocyte injury and the quantity and polarization phenotype of macrophage infiltration.

Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a Cl/HCO ion channel located at the apical plasma membrane (PM) of epithelial cells. CFTR dysfunction disrupts epithelial barrier integrity, drives progressive airway remodelling and has been associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process in which cells lose epithelial properties and acquire mesenchymal characteristics. We previously demonstrated that mutant CFTR directly drives partial EMT, independently of secondary events such as bacterial infection or inflammation.

Acoustic particle motion is the primary cue for fish hearing and a vector quantity that contains polarization information (including directionality) relevant to the directional hearing abilities of fishes. Polarization metrics, including ellipse orientation angle, ellipticity angle, and degree of polarization, have been recently applied to describe particle motion polarization in physical acoustical oceanography studies and have yet to be applied to in situ biological signals. This study harnessed data from a compact orthogonal hydrophone array deployed on the seafloor offshore of Florida (part of the Atlantic Deepwater Ecosystem Observatory Network) to investigate particle motion polarization properties of unidentified acoustic fish signals relative to ambient and ship noise.
