Fluorescent robust photoactuator via photo-crosslinking induced single-layered janus polyimide.

Advanced smart polymer materials with the ability of reversible deformation under external stimuli hold great potential in robotics, soft machines, and flexible electronics. However, the complexity and low efficiency for fabricating actuators along with their limited functionality hinder further progress. Here an efficient and mild catalyst-free thiol-yne click polymerization was developed to fabricate photosensitive polyimide (PI) films.

Selective degradation of multimeric proteins by TRIM21-based molecular glue and PROTAC degraders.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) utilizes molecular glues or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) to eliminate disease-causing proteins by promoting their interaction with E3 ubiquitin ligases. Current TPD approaches are limited by reliance on a small number of constitutively active E3 ubiquitin ligases. Here, we report that (S)-ACE-OH, a metabolite of the antipsychotic drug acepromazine, acts as a molecular glue to induce an interaction between the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 and the nucleoporin NUP98, leading to the degradation of nuclear pore proteins and disruption of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.

iridoid glycosides, as an inhibitor of GSK-3β, alleviates rheumatoid arthritis through inhibition of NF-κB and JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Background: Morinda officinalis iridoid glycosides (MOIG) showed potential benefits in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but their exact mechanism has yet to be explored.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of MOIG on RA, and explore the potential targets and molecular mechanism of MOIG in RA.

Methods: The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats were used to evaluate the effects of MOIG on RA.

NIR-II Anti-Stokes Luminescence Nanocrystals with 1710 nm Excitation for in vivo Bioimaging.

Anti-Stokes luminescence (ASL) based on lanthanide nanocrystals holds immense promise for in vivo optical imaging and bio-detection, which benefits from filtered autofluorescence. However, the current longest emission and excitation wavelengths of lanthanide ASL system were shorter than 1200 nm and 1532 nm, respectively, which limited tissue penetration depth and caused low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of in vivo imaging due to tissue scattering and water absorption. In this work, we extended the excitation wavelength to 1710 nm with the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission up to 1650 nm through a novel ASL nanocrystal LiYF : 10 %Tm@LiYF : 70 %Er@LiYF.

Exosomes-Shuttled lncRNA SNHG7 by Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviates Osteoarthritis Through Targeting miR-485-5p/FSP1 Axis-Mediated Chondrocytes Ferroptosis and Inflammation.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disorder, is a major reason of disability in adults. Accumulating evidences have proved that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-carried exosomes play a significant therapeutic effect on OA. However, the precise regulatory network remains unknown.

Establishing the Comprehensive Structure-Activity Relationship of the Natural Antibiotic Kibdelomycin/Amycolamicin.

Kibdelomycin (KBD) and amycolamicin (AMM) are potent natural antibiotics effective against antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, including vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, VISA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and quinolone-resistant S.

Integrative analysis of the immunological significances of guanylate binding protein family genes in microsatellite stability colorectal cancer.

Background: Microsatellite stability (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) has poor sensitivity to immunotherapy and its underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are a family of GTPase involving innate immune responses by providing defense against invading microbes and pathogens. However, the immunological significances of GBPs in MSS CRC remain unknown.

Cyclically conjugated porphyrin trimers linked through benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-]isoindole bridges.

Cyclically conjugated porphyrin trimers were prepared a concise synthetic method. Zn-Trimer-1 displayed strong exciton coupling, suggesting the presence of effective electronic interactions. UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra obtained through titration studies on the donor-acceptor adduct (Zn-Trimer-1-C60Im) indicate the occurrence of excited state photo-events.

Health economic evaluation of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based rapid nutritional diagnostic system for hospitalised patients: A multicentre, randomised controlled trial.

Background & Aims: Malnutrition is prevalent among hospitalised patients, and increases the morbidity, mortality, and medical costs; yet nutritional assessments on admission are not routine. This study assessed the clinical and economic benefits of using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based rapid nutritional diagnostic system for routine nutritional screening of hospitalised patients.

Methods: A nationwide multicentre randomised controlled trial was conducted at 11 centres in 10 provinces.

Effect of black soldier fly larvae frass addition on humus content during low temperature co-composting.

Initiating aerobic fermentation under low temperature is the main challenge for winter livestock manure composting. This study aims to address this issue by applying black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass as a co-composting additive to enhance the low-temperature composting process. Specifically, this work explored the effects of chicken manure and BSFL frass co-composting on the temperature, humus content, and microorganisms with fresh weight ratio of 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 (w/w) at 6 °C.

Identification of SDG gene family members and exploration of flowering related genes in different cultivars of chrysanthemums and their wild ancestors.

The SET domain genes (SDGs) are significant contributors to various aspects of plant growth and development, mainly includes flowering, pollen development, root growth, regulation of the biological clock and branching patterns. To clarify the biological functions of the chrysanthemum SDG family, the SDG family members of four chrysanthemum cultivars and three related wild species were identified; their physical and chemical properties, protein domains and conserved motifs were predicted and analyzed. The results showed that 59, 67, 67, 102, 106, 114, and 123 SDGs were identified from Chrysanthemum nankingense, Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium, Chrysanthemum seticuspe, Chrysanthemum × morifolium cv.

Identification of immunotherapy-related subtypes, characterization of tumor microenvironment infiltration, and development of a prognostic signature in gastric carcinoma.

Background: Recent advances in immunotherapy have elicited a considerable amount of attention as viable therapeutic options for several cancer types, the present study aimed to explore the immunotherapy-related genes (IRGs) and develop a prognostic risk signature in gastric carcinoma (GC) based on these genes.

Then, GC patients were divided into distinct subtypes by unsupervised clustering method based on IRGs, and the differences in immune characteristics and prognostic stratification between these subtypes were analyzed.

Plant-derived natural compounds: A new frontier in inducing immunogenic cell death for cancer treatment.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can activate adaptive immune response in the host with normal immune system. Some synthetic chemotherapeutic drugs and natural compounds have shown promising results in cancer treatment by triggering the release of damage-associated molecules (DAMPs) to trigger ICD. However, most chemotherapeutic drugs exhibit non-selective cytotoxicity and may also induce and promote metastasis, thereby significantly reducing their clinical efficacy.
