Phosphorescent gold(iii) complexes possess long-lived emissive excited states, making them ideal for use as molecular sensors and photosensitizers for organic transformations. Literature reports indicate that gold(iii) emitters exhibit good catalytic activity in homogeneous photochemical reactions. Heterogeneous metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported gold(iii) photocatalysts are considered to show high recyclability in photochemical reactions and potentially provide new selectivities.

They are classified into three types and encompass 21 subtypes based on their sources and properties. The regulatory functions of IFNs closely involve cell surface receptors and several signal transduction pathways.

It is traditionally modeled as a classification task, which performs hypergraph feature learning and classifies the target samples as either present or absent. However, these approaches involve two issues: (i) in hyperedge feature learning, they fail to measure the influence of nodes on the hyperedges that include them and the neighboring hyperedges, and (ii) in the binary classification task, the quality of the generated negative samples directly impacts the prediction results.

Chronic osteomyelitis is a chronic bone infection characterized by progressive osteonecrosis and dead bone formation, which is closely related to persistent infection and chronic inflammation. Exosomes derived from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) play an important role in bone tissue regeneration and the modulation of inflammatory processes. However, their role and mechanism of action in osteomyelitis have not been reported so far.

Integrins, a group of heterodimers consisting of α and β subunits that are located on the cell membrane, have emerged as key players in mediating the occurrence and progression of CVDs by regulating the physiological activities of endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, platelets, fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes, and various immune cells. The crucial role of integrins in the progression of CVDs has valuable implications for targeted therapies.

Predicting unknown (disappeared) simplices in real-world complex networks can provide us with deeper insights, thereby assisting us in making better decisions. Nevertheless, previous efforts to predict simplices suffer from two issues: (i) they mainly focus on 2- or 3-simplices, and there are few models available for predicting simplices of arbitrary orders, and (ii) they lack the ability to analyze and learn the features of simplices from the perspective of dynamics.

CircRNA and miRNA are crucial non-coding RNAs, which are associated with biological diseases. Exploring the associations between RNAs and diseases often requires a significant time and financial investments, which has been greatly alleviated and improved with the application of deep learning methods in bioinformatics. However, existing methods often fail to achieve higher accuracy and cannot be universal between multiple RNAs.

Kruppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of zinc finger transcription factors that have been found to play an essential role in the development of various human tissues, including epithelial, teeth, and nerves. In addition to regulating normal physiological processes, KLFs have been implicated in promoting the onset of several cancers, such as gastric cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, and colon cancer. To inhibit cancer progression, various existing medicines have been used to modulate the expression of KLFs, and anti-microRNA treatments have also emerged as a potential strategy for many cancers.

Multiple types of integrins act differently on the same immune cells, while the same integrin may exert various effects on different immune cells. In the development of cancer, integrins are involved in the regulation of cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis; conversely, integrins promote immune cell aggregation to mediate the elimination of tumors.

This heterogeneous material as a photocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity for aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids to phenols. Recycling experiments demonstrate the stability and reusability of Zr-TCPCo as a robust catalyst.

In order to discover the hidden valuable data detected by an AUV swarm, it is necessary to aggregate the data detected by AUV swarm to generate a powerful machine learning model. Traditional centralized machine learning generates a large number of data exchanges and faces problems of enormous training data, large-scale models, and communication.

To simultaneously achieve these goals, it is desirable to have the radiative decay rate constant (k ) as large as possible, which, for a thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitter, requires both a large S →S radiative decay rate constant (k ) and a small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔE ). Here, the design of a class of tetradentate gold(III) TADF complexes for narrowing the ΔE while keeping the k large is reported.

Integrins, a group of heterodimer receptors for cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion, mediate various intracellular activities, including cell migration, polarity, survival, growth, and death. Multiple types of integrins are differentially expressed in various cancers during different stages of progression, which are involved in the regulation of cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis. The crucial roles of integrins in tumor progression provide valuable clues for cancer diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Porous materials with superior methane storage capacities are the key to the wide application of adsorbed natural gas technology in vehicle transportation. In this work, we applied a ligand tailoring strategy to a metal-organic framework (NOTT-101) to fine-tune its pore geometry, which was well characterized by gas and dye sorption measurements.
