Leech-Inspired Amphibious Soft Robot Driven by High-Voltage Triboelectricity.

Leech locomotion, characterized by alternating sucker attachment and body contraction provides high adaptability and stability on complex terrains. Herein, a leech-inspired triboelectric soft robot is proposed for the first time, capable of amphibious movement, climbing, and load-carrying crawling. A high-performance triboelectric bionic robot system is developed to drive and control electro-responsive soft robots.

Integrated singlecell and bulk RNA-seq analysis identifies a prognostic signature related to inflammation in colorectal cancer.

Inflammation can influence the development of CRC as well as immunotherapy and plays a key role in CRC. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential of inflammation-related genes in CRC risk prediction. Inflammation gene models were constructed and validated by combining transcriptomic and single-cell data from TCGA and GEO databases, and the expression of inflammation-related genes was verified by RT-qPCR.

MIL-53(Al)-derived bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at low temperature.

Selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene is a crucial industrial process for the removing of 1,3-butadiene, a byproduct of butene production. Developing catalysts with high catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at low temperatures has become a research hotspot. In this study, bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts supported on AlO derived from MIL-53(Al) at various calcination temperatures were synthesised via the co-impregnation method.

Oxidative stress of mitophagy in neurodegenerative diseases: Mechanism and potential therapeutic targets.

Neurodegenerative diseases are now significant chronic progressive neurological conditions that affect individuals' physical health. Oxidative stress is crucial in the development of these diseases. Among the various neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial damage has become a major factor in oxidative stress and disease advancement.

Existence and significance of anti-HLA-C autoantibodies to primary and persistent platelet transfusion refractoriness in patients with hematologic disorders: a retrospective study from a single centre.

Objectives: Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a frustrating clinical problem, and primary and persistent (P/P) PTR who experienced persistent PTR since the first transfusion was failed to be well recognized. This study aims to investigate the incidence and risk factors for P/P PTR.

Methods: Patients with hematologic disorders who underwent HLA high-resolution genotyping and donor-specific HLA antibody or panel reactive antibody (PRA) testing between January 2019 and March 2023 were reviewed.
