Background: Combining radiotherapy (RT) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a promising strategy that can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of ICIs. However, little is known about RT-induced changes in the expression of immune checkpoints, such as PD-L1, and their clinical implications in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the association between responsiveness to RT and changes in PD-L1 expression in human CRC tissue and cell lines.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLi-CO batteries (LCBs) have emerged as promising solutions for energy storage, with the added benefit of contributing to carbon neutrality by capturing and utilizing CO during operation. In this study, a high-performance LCB was developed using a Ge-doped LiAlGeTi (PO) (LAGTP) solid electrolyte, which was synthesized via a solution-based method by doping Ge into NASICON-type LATP. The ionic conductivity of the LAGTP pellets was measured as 1.

- Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are essential for advancing quantum technologies like quantum computing by generating single photons needed for computation efficiently.
- Recent advancements have been made in creating tunable SPEs in 2D materials, which can produce identical photons by controlling their emission properties.
- The review covers the principles behind different 2D SPEs, innovative methods for tuning their emission wavelengths via strain and electric fields, and the future potential of these tunable SPEs in developing scalable arrays for practical quantum photonics.
Cell-Free Supernatant of Vaginal Viridans Streptococcus Induces Membrane Permeabilization and Transcriptional Regulation in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Article Synopsis
- The genus Streptococcus includes both harmless and harmful bacteria that naturally reside in the human body, particularly in the female genital tract (FGT), where there are two main groups: the pathogenic group B Streptococci (GBS) and the commensal viridans group streptococci (VGS).
- A novel strain named Streptococcus sp. K0074 was isolated from a vaginal swab of an endometrial cancer patient and showed potential as a commensal member of the VGS, specifically within the mitis subgroup.
- This strain produced a bacteriocin-like substance that can inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of the harmful bacterium MRSA, suggesting it may play a significant
Electrochemical alkaline water electrolysis offers significant economic advantages; however, these benefits are hindered by the high kinetic energy barrier of the water dissociation step and the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. Herein, the ensemble effect of binary types of Rh single atoms (Rh-N and Rh-O) on TiO-embedded carbon nanofiber (Rh-TiO/CNF) is reported, which serves as potent active sites for high-performance HER in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE). Density functional theory (DFT) analyses support the experimental observations, highlighting the critical role of binary types of Rh single atoms facilitated by the TiO sites.
