Progress of CCL20-CCR6 in the airways: a promising new therapeutic target.

The chemokine CCL20, a small cytokine that belongs to the C-C chemokine family, interacts with its homologous receptor CCR6, which is expressed on wide range of cell types. According to current research, the CCL20-CCR6 has been established as acritical player in a diverse range of inflammatory, oncogenic, and autoimmune diseases. Within the respiratory system, CCL20-CCR6 demonstrates heightened expression in conditions such as allergic asthma, chronic airway inflammation, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory diseases, which is conducive to the inflammatory mediators recruitment and tumor microenvironment remodeling.

Effect of a single session of sensorimotor rhythm neurofeedback training on the putting performance of professional golfers.

Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) activity has been associated with automaticity and flow in motor execution. Studies have revealed that neurofeedback training (NFT) of the SMR can improve sports performance; however, few studies have adequately explored the effects of a single session of such NFT or examined the possible mechanisms underlying these effects on sports performance. This study recruited 44 professional golfers to address these gaps in the literature.

Topological polarization singular lasing with highly efficient radiation channel.

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystals describe the originally leaky Bloch modes that can become bounded when their radiation fields carry topological polarization singularities. However, topological polarization singularities do not carry energy to far field, which limits radiation efficiencies of BICs for light emitting applications. Here, we demonstrate a topological polarization singular laser which has a topological polarization singular channel in the second Brillouin zone and a paired linearly polarized radiation channel in the first Brillouin zone.

Substituent and Charge Transfer Effects on Memory Behavior of the Ambipolar Poly(triphenylamine)s.

A series of poly(triphneylamine)s (CN-PTPA, 2CN-PTPA, 3CN-PTPA, and NO2-PTPA) with pendent acceptors (cyano, dicyanovinyl, tricyanovinyl, and nitro) have been readily synthesized by oxidative coupling polymerization using FeCl3 as oxidant. The tunable memory properties of the ITO/polymer/Al sandwiched memory devices including DRAM, SRAM, and WORM could be achieved by introducing substituent acceptors with different extent of electronic delocalization and electron-withdrawing intensity into the poly(triphenylamine)s. The highly fluorescent CN-PTPA exhibited volatile DRAM memory characteristic due to the large band gap and weak intramolecular charge transfer capability.
