Familiar molluscan groups-gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods-each represent a diverse radiation with myriad morphological, ecological, and behavioral adaptations. The phylum further encompasses many more unfamiliar experiments in animal body-plan evolution.

PRTN3 promotes IL33/Treg-mediated tumor immunosuppression by enhancing the M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma.

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) shaped by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is essential for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) immune tolerance and tumor progression. Here, we first reported that proteinase 3 (PRTN3) promoted the alternative activation (M2) of TAMs and enhanced IL33/regulatory T cells (Tregs)-mediated tumor immunosuppression in LUAD. Firstly, clinical analysis revealed PRTN3 was highly expressed in TAMs and correlated with the tumor progression and poor prognosis in LUAD patients.

Effect of layering characteristics on compressive mechanical properties and damage mechanisms of rocks: Experiments and models.

The investigation of layered rock mechanical properties is important for rock stability analysis. To examine the effects of layer inclination angle (LIA) and layer thickness (LT) on the compressive mechanical properties and damage mechanism of layered rock, this paper proposes a new method of preparing layered rock specimens using similar materials and conducting uniaxial compression tests. At the same time, PFC2D numerical analysis software is used to establish the discrete element numerical model of layered rock under uniaxial compression to deepen its microscopic damage mechanism.

Cs-Induced Se/S Ratio Variation to Regulate Energy Band Structure for Efficient Sb(S,Se) Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells.

As an emerging photovoltaic material, antimony selenosulfide (Sb(S,Se)) has attracted considerable attention and research enthusiasm. However, the current solution-processed Sb(S,Se) layers suffer from severe unfavorable energy band structure problems attributed to the vertical gradient-variable Se/S atomic ratio, making it a challenging and prospective subject. Herein, a novel and convenient alkali metal Cs-induced Se/S atomic ratio variation strategy has been developed for the first time to regulate Sb(S,Se) energy band structure through hydrothermal-processed CdS nanorod-arrays (NAs)/Sb(S,Se) bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films.
