GESC-YOLO: Improved Lightweight Printed Circuit Board Defect Detection Based Algorithm by Xiangqiang Kong, Guangmin Liu, Yanchen Gao

“…To address this challenge, this paper proposes a lightweight detection model, GESC-YOLO, developed through modifications to the YOLOv8n architecture. First, a new lightweight module, C2f-GE, is designed to replace the C2f module of the backbone network, which effectively reduces the computational parameters, and at the same time increases the number of channels of the feature map to enhance the feature extraction capability of the model. …”

Nitric oxide donor S‐Nitroso‐N‐acetyl penicillamine for hepatic stellate cells to restore quiescence by Junbao Du, Yin He, Wen Jia, Xiaohua Liang, Quan Kang, Yun He

“…Abstract Liver fibrosis is a hepatic scar repair response associated with a wide range of liver injuries, which is mediated by an imbalance between extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation, leading to massive ECM deposition and disruption of normal liver architecture. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the main source of ECM during liver fibrosis and are the first identified cell subpopulation associated with liver fibrosis formation. …”
