Imaging lipid rafts reveals the principle of ApoE4-induced Aβ upregulation in human neurons by Se-In Lee, Heejin Lim, Na Yeon Kim, Jichang Yu, Joonho Cho, Hyein Lee, Dae Won Moon, Jinsoo Seo

“…In this study, we developed a protocol for imaging APP on lipid rafts using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and found that astrocyte ApoE4 contributes to an increase in APP localization on lipid rafts, subsequently elevating Aβ42 synthesis in a clathrin-independent manner in neurons.…”

Integration of a Quantum Voting Scheme into Grayscale Images Using the Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation and Qiskit Framework by Alexandru-Gabriel Tudorache, Vasile Manta, Simona Caraiman

“…This paper illustrates the way a proposed quantum voting scheme can be designed in combination with a steganography technique called Least Significant Bit (LSB), by modifying a small number of pixels in multiple grayscale images. It combines the voting scheme with the novel enhanced quantum representation (NEQR) of an image, where the LSBs of these pixels represent the vote for each entity that takes part in the voting process. …”
