The research and modification of semiconductors through different synthesis routes allow obtaining materials with optimal properties to induce new energy levels and improve charge separation efficiency. In this context, the sol-gel method was used to synthesize TiO-based materials doped with different percentages of MnO to evaluate their photocatalytic activity in the degradation of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in water under UV irradiation. Characterization results revealed a reduction in crystallite size to 7.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent and lethal cancers in Mexico and the world. It is noteworthy that globally, the incidence of CRC is increasing at a rate of 2% per year in patients younger than 50 years of age. Its early detection, primarily based on colonoscopy screening starting at 45 years of age, is an essential weapon to reduce its mortality.

Background: Access to behavioural sleep intervention is beneficial for autistic children, yet many families face barriers to access associated with location and time. Preliminary evidence supports telehealth-delivered sleep intervention. However, no studies have evaluated brief telehealth sleep intervention.

Oxygen vacancies and co-catalysts enhance photocatalytic hydrogen production by improving the charge carrier separation. Herein, the black SnO-TiO structure (BST) was synthesized for the first time by two consecutive methods. First, the sol-gel nucleation method allowed TiO to form on the SnO nanoparticles, creating a strong interaction and direct contact between them.

Article Synopsis
  • Melanoma treatment has significantly advanced with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (CBI), focusing on understanding immune cell interactions within tumors for better responses to therapy.
  • The study utilized advanced techniques to analyze two cohorts of melanoma patients—one without treatment and another receiving immunotherapy—highlighting the role of tissue-resident memory (TRM) CD8 T cells and dendritic cells in cancer immunity.
  • Findings revealed two distinct TRM CD8 T cell subsets (TCF1+ and TCF1-) that exhibit different protein expressions linked to melanoma protection, with their spatial distribution in tumors being crucial for understanding their impact on treatment outcomes.
