RAGE is a Potential Cause of Onset and Progression of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Kamyar Asadipooya, Kamran B. Lankarani, Rishi Raj, Mohammadreza Kalantarhormozi

“…Soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE) has the capability to reduce inflammation by blocking the interaction of AGE with RAGE. However, sRAGE has some limitations, and the best method of usage is probably autotransplantation of transfected stem cells or monocytes, as a precursor of macrophages and Kupffer cells, with a virus that carries sRAGE to alleviate the harmful effects of AGE-RAGE signaling in the settings of fatty liver disease.…”

UAV Localization Method with Keypoints on the Edges of Semantic Objects for Low-Altitude Economy by Yineng Li, Qinghua Zeng, Chen Shao, Peng Zhuo, Bowen Li, Kecheng Sun

“…Finally, by matching the detected keypoints in the aerial images with the keypoints in the database, the UAV’s position can achieve a high-precision position when satellite signals are blocked in low-altitude urban environments. As verified by real flight data, the results show that the localization error is less than 5 m, and the edges of objects can obtain more accurate keypoints to help UAVs locate more accurately. …”
