Unsymmetric Protonation Driven Highly Efficient HO Photosynthesis in Supramolecular Photocatalysts via One-Step Two-Electron Oxygen Reduction.

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (HO) production has emerged as an attractive alternative to the traditional anthraquinone process. However, its performance is often hindered by low selectivity and sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we report an anthrazoline-based supramolecular photocatalyst, SA-SADF-H, featuring an unsymmetric protonation structure for HO photosynthesis from water and air.

Ileal microbial microbiome and its secondary bile acids modulate susceptibility to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in dairy goats.

Background: Liver damage from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) presents a significant challenge to the health and productivity of ruminants. However, the regulatory mechanisms behind variations in NASH susceptibility remain unclear. The gut‒liver axis, particularly the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids (BAs), plays a crucial role in regulating the liver diseases.

A simultaneous analysis strategy of glycerophospholipids and lipid mediators based on secondary extraction scheme.

Lipid peroxidation plays an important role in physiological and pathophysiological conditions; it occurs mainly in the vicinity of the membrane. Glycerophospholipids are indispensable for normal structure of membranes. Lipid mediators are final products of lipid peroxidation.

Laplacian Gradient Consistency Prior for Flash Guided Non-Flash Image Denoising.

For flash guided non-flash image denoising, the main challenge is to explore the consistency prior between the two modalities. Most existing methods attempt to model the flash/non-flash consistency in pixel level, which may easily lead to blurred edges. Different from these methods, we have an important finding in this paper, which reveals that the modality gap between flash and non-flash images conforms to the Laplacian distribution in gradient domain.

A Proprioceptive Janus Fiber with Controllable Multistage Segments for Bionic Soft Robots.

Smart fibers capable of integrating the multifunctionality of actuation and self-sensation into a single proprioceptive device have significant applications in soft robots and biomedicine. Especially, the achievement of self-sensing the movement patterns of different actuating segments in one fiber is still a great challenge. Herein, in this study, a fiber with the controllable Janus architecture is successfully proposed via an artful centrifugation-driven hierarchical gradient self-assembly strategy, which couples two functional components of piezoresistive carbon nanotubes and magnetic NdFeB nanoparticles into the upper and lower layers of this flexible fibrous framework with the porous sponge structure partially, respectively.

Coherent NiS@SnSnanosheet for accelerating electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia.

The development of an effective and selective catalyst is the key to improving the multi-electron transfer nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) to ammonia. Here, we synthesized a coherent NiS@SnSnanosheet catalyst loaded on carbon cloth via one-step solvothermal method. Experimental data reveals that the integration of NiSand SnScan enhance the NORR performance in terms of high NHyield rate of 408.

Perturbed saliva microbiome is gender-specific in patients with oral lichen planus.

Objective: To understand the gender characteristics of oral lichen planus (OLP) by identifying the gender-specific salivary microbiome and its potential biomarkers.

Methods: A gender-based study was undertaken, commencing with the collection of saliva samples, followed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, to explore the differences in the composition of saliva microbiome in OLP patients (40 males and 56 females) and healthy controls (40 males and 56 females), respectively.

Results: Both male and female OLP patients had significant differences in saliva microbiome composition from healthy controls, especially in female patients.

Integrating genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies to uncover the host-microbiome interactions in bovine rumen methanogenesis.

The ruminal microbiota generates biogenic methane in ruminants. However, the role of host genetics in modifying ruminal microbiota-mediated methane emissions remains mysterious, which has severely hindered the emission control of this notorious greenhouse gas. Here, we uncover the host genetic basis of rumen microorganisms by genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies with matched genome, rumen transcriptome, and microbiome data from a cohort of 574 Holstein cattle.

Programmed BRD9 Degradation and Hedgehog Signaling Activation via Silk-Based Core-Shell Microneedles Promote Diabetic Wound Healing.

Wound healing impairment in diabetes mellitus is associated with an excessive inflammatory response and defective regeneration capability with suppressed Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. The bromodomain protein BRD9, a subunit of the non-canonical BAF chromatin-remodeling complex, is critical for macrophage inflammatory response. However, whether the epigenetic drug BRD9 degrader can attenuate the sustained inflammatory state of wounds in diabetes remains unclear.

Establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (JNMUi002-A) from a male patient with schizophrenia.

We obtained Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a peripheral blood sample of a 19-year-old male schizophrenia patient and successfully established induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line using non-integrated reprogramming technology. This cell line possesses the correct karyotype, shape of an embryonic stem cell, the ability to express particular pluripotency markers, and the capacity to differentiate into three germ layers in vitro. This cell line will serve as an in vitro model for upcoming studies on the etiology of schizophrenia and the creation of novel treatment.

TFAB002s, novel CD20-targeting T cell-dependent bispecific Fab-FabCH3 antibodies, exhibit potent antitumor efficacy against malignant B-cell lymphoma.

B-cell lymphoma, clinically, comprises a heterogeneous group of malignancies that encompass various subtypes. CD20 is an optimal target for therapeutic antibodies in B-cell lymphoma immunotherapy since approximately 90% of B-cell malignancies typically exhibit CD20 expression on their surface, while its presence is limited in normal tissues. In this study, we have developed a series of novel non-IgG-like T cell-dependent bispecific antibodies by constructing Fab-FabCH3, referred to as Tandem Antigen-binding Fragment 002 (TFAB002), which specifically target CD20 for the treatment of malignant B-cell lymphoma.
