Prediction of high-temperature superconductors at ambient pressure with diamond-like structures: BCX (X = N, P).

In recent years, the superconducting properties of materials with diamond-like structures have attracted widespread attention. The superconducting transition temperature () of most diamond-like structures is relatively low, and there has been little research on the superconductivity of ternary diamond-like materials. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we predict BCX (X = N, P) with 31 space group, and reveal that they all exhibit phonon-mediated superconductivity at ambient pressure, with range from 44.

Over-activation of iNKT cells aggravate lung injury in bronchopulmonary dysplasia mice.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a severe lung disease in preterm infants, the abnormal proliferate and differentiate ability of type II epithelial cells (AEC II) is the key to the pathological basis of BPD. Mechanisms regarding abnormal AEC II in BPD remain unclear. The present work investigated the role and mechanisms of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in lung disorder in BPD using public datasets, clinical samples, a hyperoxia-induced BPD mouse model and AEC II-iNKT cells transwell co-culture system.

Direct and rapid thermal shock for recycling spent graphite in lithium-ion batteries.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of spent lithium-ion batteries, there has been a growing interest in the recovery of degraded graphite. In this work, a rapid thermal shock (RTS) strategy is proposed to regenerate spent graphite for use in lithium-ion batteries. The results of structural and morphological characterization demonstrate that the graphite is well regenerated by the RTS process.

Role of regulatory T cells in mouse lung development.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) constitute a specialized subset of T cells with dual immunoregulatory and modulatory functions. Recent studies have reported that Tregs mediate immune responses and regulate the development and repair processes in non-lymphoid tissues, including bone and cardiac muscle. Additionally, Tregs facilitate the repair and regeneration of damaged lung tissues.

Superconductivity in Ca-intercalated bilayer graphene: CCaC.

The deposition and intercalation of metal atoms can induce superconductivity in monolayer and bilayer graphenes. For example, it has been experimentally proved that Li-deposited graphene is a superconductor with critical temperature of 5.9 K, Ca-intercalated bilayer graphene CCaC and K-intercalated epitaxial bilayer graphene CKC are superconductors with of 2-4 K and 3.

ILC2 influence the differentiation of alveolar type II epithelial cells in bronchopulmonary dysplasia mice.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a common complication of premature infants, is mainly characterized by blocked alveolarization. Proverbially, the injury of alveolar type II epithelial cells is regarded as the pathologic basis of occurrence and development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In the case of alveolar epithelial damage, alveolar type II epithelial cells can also differentiate to alveolar type I epithelial cells as progenitor cells.

Hydrogenation induced high-temperature superconductivity in two-dimensional WC.

The discovery of highly crystalline two-dimensional (2D) superconductors provides a new alluring branch for exploring the fundamental significances. Based on first-principles calculations, we predict a new kind of 2D stable material WC, which is a semimetal but not a superconductor because of the weak electron-phonon coupling (EPC) strength. After hydrogenation, WCH possesses the intrinsic metallic properties with a large density of states (DOS) at the Fermi energy ().

Type 2 innate lymphoid cell-derived amphiregulin regulates type II alveolar epithelial cell transdifferentiation in a mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common complication in preterm infants characterized by alveolar growth arrest. Interleukin (IL)-33 and type 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) affect type II alveolar epithelial cell (AECII) differentiation in BPD mice and may cause increased lung epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Amphiregulin (AREG) can be produced by ILC2 and is associated with tissue repair.

Pearl-Structure-Enhanced NASICON Cathode toward Ultrastable Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Based on the favorable ionic conductivity and structural stability, sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) materials especially utilizing multivalent redox reaction of vanadium are one of the most promising cathodes in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). To further boost their application in large-scale energy storage production, a rational strategy is to tailor vanadium with earth-abundant and cheap elements (such as Fe, Mn), reducing the cost and toxicity of vanadium-based NASICON materials. Here, the Na V Fe (PO ) (NVFP) is synthesized with highly conductive Ketjen Black (KB) by ball-milling assisted sol-gel method.

Nanodesigns for NaV(PO)-based cathode in sodium-ion batteries: a topical review.

With the rapid development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), it is urgent to exploit the cathode materials with good rate capability, attractive high energy density and considerable long cycle performance. NaV(PO)(NVP), as a NASICON-type electrode material, is one of the cathode materials with great potential for application because of its good thermal stability and stable. However, NVP has the inherent problem of low electronic conductivity, and various strategies are proposed to improve it, moreover, nanotechnology or nanostructure are involved in these strategies, the construction of nanostructured active particles and nanocomposites with conductive carbon networks have been shown to be effective in improving the electrical conductivity of NVP.

IL-33-ST2 pathway regulates AECII transdifferentiation by targeting alveolar macrophage in a bronchopulmonary dysplasia mouse model.

Evidence points to the indispensable function of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in normal lung development and tissue homeostasis. However, the importance of AMs in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a significant role of abnormal AM proliferation and polarization in alveolar dysplasia during BPD, which is closely related to the activation of the IL-33-ST2 pathway.

Theoretical prediction of superconductivity in two-dimensional MXenes of molybdenum carbides.

Theoretically and experimentally, MXenes consisting of Mo and C have aroused much interest due to superconductivity in their films and even monolayer forms. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we systematically calculate the electronic structure, phonon dispersion, and electron-phonon coupling (EPC) of monolayer MoC (both T- and H-phases), MoC, and MoC. The results show that H-MoC ( = 2 or 3, = 1-3) always have lower total energies than their corresponding T phase and other configurations.
