Injury-induced KIF4A neural expression and its role in Schwann cell proliferation suggest a dual function for this kinesin in neural regeneration by Patrícia D. Correia, Bárbara M. de Sousa, Jesús Chato-Astrain, Joana Paes de Faria, Veronica Estrada, João B. Relvas, Hans W. Müller, Víctor Carriel, Frank Bosse, Sandra I. Vieira

“…Moreover, Kif4a mRNA levels were approximately ~6-fold higher in proliferative cultured Schwann cells compared with non-proliferative ones. A hypothesized function for Kif4a in Schwann cell proliferation was further confirmed by Kif4a knockdown, as this significantly reduced Schwann cell proliferation in vitro. …”

Preparation of polyclonal antibodies against the EIL3 protein and its expression in soybean seedlings by CHENG Yunqing, WU Zhaoyang, LI Yujie, BAN Meihan, LIU Jianfeng

“…When they were diluted 81 000 times, the absorbance values were much greater than 0.4, indicating that they had high-quality serum titers. The lower detection limit for the antigen was both 1 ng. The expression of the EIL3 protein was strongly induced by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), and eil3 mutant reduced the accumulation and growth inhibition of EIL3, which improved the plant height, hypocotyl elongation, and lateral root development of the seedlings. …”

A Novel Intensity-Corrected Blue Channel Compensation and Edge-Preserving Contrast Enhancement Using Laplace Filter and Sigmoid Function for Sand-Dust Image Enhancement by Muhammad Khawaja Kashif Masood, Enrique Nava Baro, Pablo Otero Roth

“…This method consists of CLAHE, a Gaussian blur filter, a Laplace filter, and the sigmoid function. Using the Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) color model, CLAHE is applied for contrast enhancement; the Gaussian blur filter removes high-frequency noise, and the Laplace filter enhances edge detection, all targeting the V (Value) channel to refine image details, while the sigmoid function adjusts saturation in the Saturation (S) channel, ensuring natural color balance and improved feature visibility. …”
