Expanding the Spectrum of Autoimmune Encephalitis — A Rare Anti-Recoverin Case
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) continues to evolve as a diagnostic category, with emerging antibodies expanding both its clinical and mechanistic boundaries. This case report highlights a particularly rare and instructive entity: anti-recoverin antibody–associated autoimmune encephalitis.
How Clear Communication in Schools Boosts Performance — A Story from West Guji, Ethiopia
In a cluster of rural schools in Ethiopia’s West Guji Zone, students, teachers, and school leaders face daily challenges that many outside the region might not see: limited resources, long commutes, and the pressure to deliver quality education with little outside support
From Obstacle to Opportunity: Targeting TGFβ in Pancreatic Cancer
Why does immunotherapy work well in some cancers but poorly in pancreatic cancer?
New Field for Inorganics and Polymer Composite Fabrication with Modulate Optical Band Gaps Based on Green Synthesized Metal Complex Using Low Cost Ligands Available in Drinking Tea Dyes" for publication in Discover Materials
In this work, we address these gaps by introducing a green and cost-effective
strategy for fabricating PVA-based polymer composites using a chromium metal
complex synthesized from black tea polyphenolic ligands.
COVID-19, economic policy uncertainty and stock returns in selected European countries: a wavelet analysis
Our paper examines EPU and stock returns in Europe (2001–2025) using wavelet analysis. Germany’s EPU mediates COVID-19 and local uncertainty impacts on peripheral markets. The frequency-dependent nexus reveals varying lead-lag dynamics, shaped by regional spillovers.
How Water Drives Deep Oxidation in Copper
Scientists have long suspected that water plays an important role in how metals oxidize and corrode. Yet one surprisingly basic question has remained difficult to answer at the atomic scale: what exactly is water doing during oxidation?
