Removal of Trace Benzene from Cyclohexane Using a MOF Molecular Sieve.

Cyclohexane (Cy), commonly produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of benzene (Bz), is used in large quantities as a solvent or feedstock for nylon polymers. Removing trace unreacted Bz from the Cy product is technically difficult due to their similar molecular structures and physical properties. Herein, we report that a metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbent shows a molecular sieving effect for Bz and Cy with record-high Bz/Cy adsorption selectivities (216, 723, and 1027) in their liquid mixtures (v/v = 1:1, 1:10, and 1:20), and traps Bz molecules effectively even at low partial pressure in the vapor phase (e.

Multiregional transcriptomic profiling provides improved prognostic insight in localized non-small cell lung cancer.

Lung Cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA and worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbors high transcriptomic intratumor heterogeneity (RNA-ITH) that limits the reproducibility of expression-based prognostic models. In this study, we used multiregional RNA-seq data (880 tumor samples from 350 individuals) from both public (TRACERx) and internal (MDAMPLC) cohorts to investigate the effect of RNA-ITH on prognosis in localized NSCLC at the gene, signature, and tumor microenvironment levels.

The prognostic effect of infiltrating immune cells is shaped by proximal M2 macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma.

The spatial arrangement of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and their interactions play critical roles in the initiation and development of cancer. Several advanced technologies such as imaging mass cytometry (IMC) providing the immunological landscape of the TME with single-cell resolution. In this study, we develop a new method to quantify the spatial proximity between different cell types based on single-cell spatial data.

Simultaneous capture of trace benzene and SO in a robust Ni(II)-pyrazolate framework.

Benzene and SO, coexisting as hazardous air pollutants in some cases, such as in coke oven emissions, have led to detrimental health and environmental effects. Physisorbents offer promise in capturing benzene and SO, while their performance compromises at low concentration. Particularly, the simultaneous capture of trace benzene and SO under humid conditions is attractive but challenging.

Prognostic stratification in DLBCL patients with aberrant MYC gene.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by a subset of patients who exhibit treatment resistance and poor prognoses.

Deficiency of m A RNA methylation promotes ZBP1-mediated cell death.

m A RNA methylation suppresses the immunostimulatory potential of endogenous RNA. Deficiency of m A provokes inflammatory responses and cell death, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we showed that the noncoding RNA 7SK gains immunostimulatory potential upon m A depletion and subsequently activates the RIG-I/MAVS axis to spark interferon (IFN) signaling cascades.

Pt-O-Ce interaction enhanced by Al substitution to promote the acetone degradation through accelerating the breaking of CC bond in acetic acid intermediate.

The reaction rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) oxidation is controlled by the rate-limiting step in the total reaction process.
