Decreased expression in breast tumor cells causes NK cell activation and promotes tumor progression.

Objective: Abnormal metabolism is the underlying reason for breast cancer progression. Decreased lactate dehydrogenase B () has been detected in breast cancer but the function of remains unknown.

Methods: Western blot was used to analyze expression in breast cancer cells.

Controllable Synthesis of Zn-Doped α-FeO Nanowires for HS Sensing.

One-dimensional Zn-doped α-FeO nanowires have been controllably synthesized by using the pure pyrite as the source of Fe element through a two-step synthesis route, including the preparation of Fe source solution by a leaching process and the thermal conversion of the precursor solution into α-FeO nanowires by the hydrothermal and calcination process. The microstructure, morphology, and surface composition of the obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the formation process of α-FeO is significantly influenced by the introduction of Zn.
