Mell 1913 (Pieridae) is a little-studied butterfly species endemic to China that flies primarily in the forest canopy. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing allowed assembly of 146,702 reads for complete 1471.3-fold mean coverage of the circular 15,264 bp mitogenome from consisting of 82.

Although various methods have been used to identify candidates for treatment deintensification, the optimal approach is unknown.
Methods And Materials: We conducted a multi-institutional cohort study of 444 patients with previously untreated p16+ OPSCC undergoing definitive radiation therapy with or without systemic therapy between 2009 and 2022.
Article Synopsis
- - The study developed a reusable antibacterial coating using a water-soluble methacrylamide-based copolymer that combines cationic and hydrophobic properties, successfully applied to glass surfaces.
- - The coated surfaces demonstrated rapid bacterial killing effects on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, achieving significant bacterial reduction within 5-15 minutes, and maintained effectiveness even after multiple rinses and weeks of use.
- - The antibacterial coating remained stable and effective after repeated cleanings and sonication, suggesting it can serve as a long-lasting solution to combat bacterial contamination.
Article Synopsis
- - The research discusses the creation of a low-symmetry metallo-supramolecular barrel (UNMB) using an unsymmetrical tetratopic ligand and a protected Pd(ii) metal acceptor, deviating from typical symmetric assemblies.
- - Different orientational isomers of the barrel were predicted, with experimental results indicating that the HHTT isomer was formed, verified through X-ray diffraction and H NMR analysis.
- - UNMB has large openings and a hydrophobic interior, making it effective at encapsulating larger guests like fullerenes, with a preference for C₆₀ over C₇₀, enabling potential applications in separation processes.
Orthopedic and dental implants made from Ti6Al4V are widely used due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the long-term performance of these implants can be compromised by bacterial infections. This study explores the development of hierarchically textured surfaces with enhanced bactericidal properties to address such challenges.
