BCL11A expression worsens the prognosis of DLBCL and its co-expression with C-MYC predicts poor survival.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a significant global malignancy, with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) being the most prevalent subtype, accounting for 25-50 % of newly diagnosed cases in China. Despite a 60 % survival rate achieved with R-CHOP regiment for DLBCL, approximately 40 % of patients experience relapse or develop resistance to treatment. While the oncogenic transcription factor B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/lymphoma 11 A (BCL11A) has been implicated in various tumors, its specific role in DLBCL remains unclear.

Long-term effects of dead algal deposition on sediment surfaces: Behavior of endogenous phosphorus release in sediments.

Algae blooms are frequently triggered owing to the improvements in aquatic trophic levels. The aggregated algae from these blooms are eventually dead and accumulate on sediment surfaces, impacting the microenvironment and phosphorus cycling in aquatic systems. However, research on the effects of naturally dead algal deposition on endogenous P release from sediments is lacking.

Lamb wave imaging via dual-frequency fusion for grating lobe effect compensation.

In Lamb wave imaging based on a phased array, higher frequencies narrowband excitation pulses enable more precise damage detection and localization. However, due to the size constraints of individual transducer elements, the spacing between array elements may exceed half the wavelength of the excitation signal. This can lead to a grating lobe effect.

Giant Modulation of Second-Harmonic Generation in CuInPS by Interfacing with MoS Atomic Layers.

Probing and manipulating the intriguing nonlinear optical responses in van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectrics offer opportunities for their applications in nanophotonics. Here, we report the observation of giant and tunable second-harmonic generation (SHG) in ferroelectric CuInPS (CIPS) and CIPS/MoS heterostructures. The results show that CIPS, ranging from multilayer to bulk-like samples, all exhibit strong SHG with giant anisotropy.

PANoptosis in autoimmune diseases interplay between apoptosis, necrosis, and pyroptosis.

PANoptosis is a newly identified inflammatory programmed cell death (PCD) that involves the interplay of apoptosis, necrosis, and pyroptosis. However, its overall biological effects cannot be attributed to any one type of PCD alone. PANoptosis is regulated by a signaling cascade triggered by the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) by various sensors.

Visible-Light-Mediated Three-Component Decarboxylative Coupling Reactions for the Synthesis of 4-Alkylpyridines.

4-Alkylation of pyridines has been achieved by a photocatalyzed three-component reaction of an olefin, an aryloxyacetic acid, and cyanopyridine using Ir[dF(CF)ppy](dtbbpy)PF as a photocatalyst. In this way, a new type of 4-alkylpyridines bearing aryl and aryloxy substituents on the phenyl was accessed with potential pharmaceutical value. In addition to mild reaction conditions, the method has several other advantages, including a multicomponent one-pot protocol, good functional group tolerance, and easy amplification of the reaction scale.

Injectable Polydopamine Nanoparticle-Incorporated Hydrogels for Antiangiogenesis and Stimulating Tumoricidal Immunity to Inhibit Metastasis and Recurrence Postresection.

Surgical resection is still the main means for clinical treatments of breast cancer, but the postoperative immunosuppressive microenvironment and neoangiogenesis of the residual tumors easily lead to tumor metastasis and recurrence, which will further endanger patients' lives. The combination of antiangiogenic therapy and immunotherapy may promote the mutually reinforced cycle of immune reprogramming and vascular normalization to avoid tumor metastasis and recurrence. Herein, we prepared polydopamine nanoparticles for improving tissue adhesion and enriching tumor-associated antigens.
