Abstract To ensure the reliability of biometric authentication, Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) models must accurately detect presentation attacks. However, due to the highly complex distribution shifts caused by variations in style, cross-domain generalization remains a significant challenge. Test-Time Domain Generalization (TTDG) has recently surfaced as an innovative framework, facilitating the adaptation of unseen samples to source-domain characteristics through the strategic utilization of learned style bases. Nevertheless, existing TTDG methods optimize randomly initialized style bases solely through statistical objectives, leaving a critical research gap: the lack of explicit semantic constraints inevitably leads to hierarchical semantic inconsistency and weakens… More >

Abstract Vibrations occurring in the impellers of centrifugal compressors are among the primary factors that influence the reliability and service life of main gas pumping station units. A promising approach to improving the dynamic performance of centrifugal compressors is the use of modern metal-matrix composite materials for impellers. This article presents a prediction of the dynamic behavior of an impeller under actual operating conditions with the aim of eliminating resonance vibrations. Detailed geometric and finite-element modeling enabled an investigation of the prestressed state caused by centrifugal forces on the natural frequency spectrum of the impeller. To More >

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) braided composites are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their superior mechanical properties. However, traditional 3D four-directional or five-directional braided composites exhibit limitations in multi-axial load-bearing capacity and structural stability under complex stress conditions. To address these challenges, we propose a novel 3D seven-directional braided composite structure, which enhances mechanical performance in both axial and transverse directions by incorporating additional reinforcement yarns. This structure consists of braiding yarns, axial yarns, six-directional yarns and seven-directional yarns, forming a more uniform and stable interlacing network. Based on the positional relationships between yarns, More >

Abstract The discovery of graphene and its unique physicochemical properties has catalyzed intensive research into alternative two-dimensional (2D) materials, with a view to their prospective applications in diverse fields of physics, chemistry, and materials science. In this context, there is a notable scientific interest in developing computationally efficient theoretical approaches capable of reliably estimating key parameters of organic films deposited on 2D surfaces. This objective necessitates a rigorous selection and validation of appropriate computational methods, ensuring an optimal balance between computational cost and predictive accuracy. This study presents a method for evaluating the thermodynamic and structural… More >

Abstract Current image steganography methods often struggle to balance security, payload capacity, and computational efficiency, with many spatial-domain techniques vulnerable to statistical steganalysis and complex methods incurring high overhead. To address persistent challenges in secure data communication, this paper introduces a novel hybrid chaotic-based multi-layered image security and steganography scheme to enhance resistance against detection while offering adaptable performance. The proposed scheme first integrates Fisher-Yates permutation driven by a Logistic Map PRNG, followed by stream cipher encryption using a Hénon Map-generated keystream to secure the secret image. Embedding is then performed via a unique three-pass chaotic More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by marked metabolic plasticity, spatial heterogeneity, and therapy-induced adaptive remodeling. However, TNBC metabolism is often discussed as isolated pathways, making it difficult to link metabolic rewiring to immune exclusion, drug-tolerant persister cells, and treatment windows. Here, we propose a functional metabolic operating-state framework to organize recurrent adaptive programs in TNBC. Importantly, the S1–S5 framework is not a clinically validated subtype classification, but a set of coexisting and reversible operating states shaped by microenvironmental and therapeutic pressures. S1 represents a glycolysis–lactate/acidosis barrier; S2 denotes fatty acid oxidation (FAO)/oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)-supported… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Cervical cancer, particularly its advanced stages, requires novel therapeutic paradigms. Cellular immunotherapy exploits the constitutive expression of HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins as near-ideal tumor-specific antigens. This review systematically evaluates four principal platforms under investigation: tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), TCR-engineered T cells, CAR-T cells, and CAR-NK cells. We critically analyze the preclinical rationale, clinical trial landscape, safety considerations, and manufacturing challenges for each modality. TIL therapy has achieved durable complete responses and an FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation. TCR-T cells enable precise targeting of intracellular viral epitopes but are HLA-restricted. CAR-T cells offer potent, MHC-independent recognition, yet face on-target/off-tumor More >

Abstract Mitochondria are central regulators of cellular metabolism and survival and play a pivotal role in cancer development and progression through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), control of calcium homeostasis, regulation of autophagy, and modulation of cell death pathways. Mitochondria-derived ROS (mtROS) act as signaling mediators that influence tumor initiation, proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance by altering redox homeostasis, damaging mitochondrial DNA, and reshaping the tumor microenvironment. In addition to meeting the bioenergetic and biosynthetic requirements of rapidly proliferating cancer cells, mitochondrial metabolism modulates immune responses and supports cancer cell adaptation to More >

Abstract Background: Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells show promise as immunotherapeutic agents for solid tumors, and our prior study demonstrated that combining iNKT-cell therapy with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) achieved a 58.3% objective response rate (ORR) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study further examines iNKT-mediated immune modulation of post-TACE survival dynamics and associated prognostic biomarkers. Methods: Clinical data and peripheral blood samples were obtained from 77 HCC patients in Beijing you’an Hospital between 2018–2023, including 38 receiving TACE alone and 39 receiving combined iNKT-cell/TACE therapy. Serial measurements included: Hematological parameters; Liver function tests [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate… More >
