Selenoprotein T (SELENOT, SelT), a thioredoxin-like enzyme, exerts an essential oxidoreductase activity in the endoplasmic reticulum. However, its precise function remains unknown. To gain more understanding of SELENOT function, a conventional global knockout (KO) mouse model was constructed for the first time using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique.

Although effective bifunctional electrocatalyst for OWS (HER and OER) are highly desired, designing and constructing such suitable materials is full of challenges to overcome several difficulties, involving slow kinetics, differences in catalytic mechanisms, large overpotential values, and low round-trip efficiencies. In this work, we reported a new bifunctional electrocatalyst Ru/RuO-MoO catalyst (RRMC) via a redox solid phase reaction (RSPR) strategy to achieve the high electrocatalytic activity of OWS.
