Integrin αvβ6 is an attractive target for theranostic applications in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Yet, there remains a lack of an ideal PET/CT tracer targeting αvβ6. In this study, we designed two novel PET/CT tracers [F]AlF-Glc-αvβ6L and [F]AlF-Asp2-αvβ6L with hydrophilic linkers. Both [F]AlF-Glc-αvβ6L and [F]AlF-Asp2-αvβ6L demonstrated favorable and properties, which are characterized by high hydrophilicity. In pancreatic tumor-bearing mice, micro-PET/CT imaging and biodistribution studies demonstrated that both [F]AlF-Glc-αvβ6L and [F]AlF-Asp2-αvβ6L had favorable pharmacokinetic properties, good specific targeting to αvβ6, and tumor-to-background contrast. Between them, [F]AlF-Asp2-αvβ6L demonstrated superior stability and accelerated renal clearance than [F]AlF-Glc-αvβ6L, with comparable tumor uptake and retention and significantly lower kidney uptake. The results indicate that [F]AlF-Asp2-αvβ6L is a promising PET/CT tracer for PDAC imaging.

Background: A clear understanding of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) is essential for effectively implementing patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) as a performance measure for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Since not achieving MCID and SCB may reflect suboptimal surgical benefit, the primary aim of this study was to use machine learning to predict patients who may not achieve the threshold-based outcomes (i.e.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.
Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.

Automatic markerless estimation of infant posture and motion from ordinary videos carries great potential for movement studies "in the wild", facilitating understanding of motor development and massively increasing the chances of early diagnosis of disorders. There has been a rapid development of human pose estimation methods in computer vision, thanks to advances in deep learning and machine learning. However, these methods are trained on datasets that feature adults in different contexts.

Over the past several decades, decision-making research has been dominated by the study of binary choice tasks, with key models assuming that people remain equally cautious regardless of how long they have spent on the choice problem. Recent research has begun to place a greater focus on studying tasks with a continuous-response scale, as well as models that allow for decreases in caution over decision time; however, these research topics have remained separate from one another. For instance, proposed models of continuous-response scales have assumed constant caution over time, and studies investigating whether caution decreases over time have focused on binary choice tasks.
