Exposure to urban air pollution during early pregnancy is associated with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preeclampsia (PE), and there is an urgent need to understand how air pollution affects biological mechanisms in the placenta. Hofbauer cells (HBCs) are fetal placental macrophages that regulate immune tolerance in the placenta. They are normally polarized towards an anti

Reactions of the primary pyridine radicals, ortho-, meta-, and para-pyridyls with oxygen control the overall rate of pyridine oxidation. In the present work, the potential energy surfaces of o-, m-, and p-pyridyls + O2 previously developed by the authors have been employed for a systematic theoretical kinetic study of the rate constants of these reactions. The geometries of reactants, products, in

One of the main requirements for the safety and certification of an aircraft is its ability to relight under high-altitude conditions, i.e., sub-atmospheric and extremely cold environment. In the combustor, the fuel is introduced in liquid form and atomized into droplets, generating a spray that facilitates evaporation and combustion. Therefore, understanding and mastering the atomization process

Background and aims: Heart transplantation is the preferred treatment for selected patients with end stage heart failure. Kidney function often declines after heart transplantation. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) slow the decline in eGFR in different populations. However, the effect of SGLT2i on kidney function in heart transplant recipients is unknown. Methods: The Dapaglifloz

This paper provides micro-level evidence of how and why functional lock-ins persist, despite clear articulations of cognitive un-locking at firm, cluster and regional levels. Theoretically, we draw on literature on regional clusters and vertical value chains to consider how incumbent firms’ efforts to diversify are conditioned by regional lock-ins as well as value chain governance. To investigate

Introduction Using body mass index (BMI) as a proxy, previous Mendelian randomization (MR) studies found total causal effects of general obesity on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Hitherto, total and direct causal effects of general- and central obesity on PCOS have not been comprehensively analyzed. Objectives To investigate the causality of central- and general obesity on PCOS using surrogat

Utopia. The Right to Hope27.09.2025 – 11.01.2026“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one,” wrote John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the opening lines of “Imagine,” one of the world’s most famous songs. Though the song is more than half a century old, its vision of various utopian ideals remains relevant today: a world without war, hunger, greed, and hatred—a peaceful, sustainable, and livable

Background Opioid-related deaths have increased in Western countries over recent decades. Despite numerous studies investigating opioid-related mortality, only a few have focused on the lives of the deceased individuals prior to their deaths, specifically regarding contact with care-providing authorities such as health, social and correctional services. Furthermore, a change has been noted in the
