Serotonin (5-HT) is a crucial neurotransmitter in the body, with its levels being particularly significant for life safety. Here, we designed the AgBiS/CuMoS S-scheme heterojunction by uniformly immobilizing lamellar CuMoS on the surface of three-dimensional (3D) flower-like AgBiS using a simple physical mixing technique. In this case, AgBiS and CuMoS are bonded together by electrostatic attraction to form an active surface with a large specific surface area.

Acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), a member of the acyl-coenzyme A oxidase family, is considered a crucial regulator whose dysregulation is implicated in the occurrence and progression of various cancers. This study aims to elucidate the impact of ACOX1 in CRC, shedding light on its potential as a therapeutic target. Through analysis of the GEO dataset, it was found that ACOX1 is significantly downregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC), and this lower expression level is associated with a worse prognosis.

Oncolytic vaccinia viruses (VVs) are potent stimulators of the immune system and induce immune-mediated tumor clearance and long-term surveillance against tumor recurrence. As such they are ideal treatment modalities for solid tumors including lung cancer. Here, we investigated the use of VVL-m12, a next-generation, genetically modified, interleukin-12 (IL-12)-armed VV, as a new therapeutic strategy to treat murine models of lung cancer and as a mechanism of increasing lung cancer sensitivity to antibody against programmed cell death protein 1 (α-PD1) therapy.

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a leading non-polio enterovirus that causes severe respiratory diseases and poliomyelitis-like illness in children. Viral entry represents a potential multifaceted target for antiviral intervention; however, there are no approved inhibitors to block EV-D68. Here, we identify the functionally undescribed membrane protein major facilitator superfamily-domain-containing protein 6 (MFSD6) as an EV-D68 entry factor amenable to therapeutic intervention.

The maintenance of skeletal muscle quality involves various signal pathways that interact with each other. Under normal physiological conditions, these intersecting signal pathways regulate and coordinate the hypertrophy and atrophy of skeletal muscles, balancing the protein synthesis and degradation of muscle. When the total rate of protein synthesis exceeds that of protein degradation, the muscle gradually becomes enlarged, while when the total rate of protein synthesis is lower than that of protein degradation, the muscle shrinks.

Article Synopsis
  • Natural seawater electrolysis is a promising method for producing hydrogen, but it faces challenges with long-term instability due to chloride corrosion.
  • A new material, Zr doped CoO, shows strong performance, requiring a low overpotential of 570 mV and demonstrating minimal decay (0.78%) over 500 hours of operation.
  • A novel membrane electrode setup with a self-developed anion exchange membrane converts the produced hydrogen into ammonia for easier storage, while theoretical calculations reveal how Zr enhances the material's stability and protects it from chloride damage.

During tunnel construction, the protracted mucking phase poses significant occupational health risks, particularly from dust exposure. This study delves into comprehensive numerical simulations to examine the spatiotemporal dynamics of dust particles during the mucking process. A distinct 'bimodal pattern' was characterized by higher concentrations in the mucking area (0-30 m) and the inverted arch area (60-110 m), where concentrations exceed 30 mg/m3 under all conditions.

  • The study examines how coal is damaged during mining operations due to multiple mining disturbances (MMD), which can lead to serious events like rock bursts.
  • Researchers conducted tests using large coal-like samples under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions to analyze deformation and fracture characteristics.
  • Key findings indicate that higher loads and increased loading cycles exacerbate crack formation and deformation, emphasizing the importance of reinforcing mine infrastructure while minimizing disturbances.

  • Depressive disorders are a significant global issue linked to inflammation, particularly increased after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway not yet fully explored in this context.
  • A recent analysis suggests that the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib may have potential beyond immune diseases by possibly preventing mood disorders.
  • Research indicates that the JAK-STAT pathway is activated in depressive mouse models, leading to inflammation and synaptic issues, but tofacitinib shows promise in reversing these effects, highlighting its potential for treating depression.

Despite the efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy in controlling the incidence and mortality of AIDS, effective interventions for HIV-1-induced neurological damage and cognitive impairment remain elusive. In this study, we found that HIV-1 infection can induce proteolytic cleavage and aberrant aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a pathological protein associated with various severe neurological disorders. The HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu was found to be responsible for the cleavage of TDP-43, as ectopic expression of Vpu alone was sufficient to induce TDP-43 cleavage, whereas HIV-1 lacking Vpu failed to cleave TDP-43.

The development of bifunctional, non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) through morphology and electronic engineering is highly attractive for efficient water splitting. Herein, hierarchical nanoarrays consisting of crystalline cobalt phosphide nanorods covered by amorphous Fe-doped cobalt phosphide nanocuboids (CoP/FeCoP) are constructed as bifunctional catalysts for both HER and OER. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the catalysts exhibit balanced dual-catalytic properties due to simultaneous introduction of Fe doping and phosphorus vacancies, leading to an optimized electronic structure of the CoP/FeCoP.

To investigate the effects of long-term prestress loss on concrete box girders strengthened with external prestressing, a large-span box girder, in service for over 20 years and strengthened with external prestressing, was monitored for four months. Prestress loss in the longitudinal, vertical, and transverse directions of the box girder was calculated according to Chinese code requirements. Magnetic flux rope force transducers were used to monitor the prestress loss in the external prestressing cables.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common issue at high altitudes caused by low oxygen levels, and this study investigates how inflammatory cytokine levels might predict who is susceptible to AMS before they even start climbing.
  • The research involved 48 participants who were monitored as they ascended to two high altitudes (3700 m and 5000 m), with cytokine levels measured and analyzed to determine their predictive capability for AMS.
  • Results showed that the concentration of certain cytokines, particularly TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-17A, could effectively predict who would experience AMS at higher altitudes, highlighting the role of inflammation in AMS susceptibility.

  • The study looks into a protein called DENND10 and its role in cancer development, especially how cancer cells release tiny bubbles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) that affect tumor growth.
  • Researchers found that when DENND10 is missing in breast cancer cells, these cells have trouble moving and spreading, which could stop the cancer from spreading or getting worse.
  • The study suggests that understanding how DENND10 works could help in creating new treatments that target how tumors spread.

A comprehensive analysis of spatial transcriptomics was carried out to better understand the progress of halo nevus. We found that halo nevus was characterized by overactive immune responses, triggered by chemokines and dendritic cells (DCs), T cells, and macrophages. Consequently, we observed abnormal cell death, such as apoptosis and disulfidptosis in halo nevus, some were closely related to immunity.
