Background: Liver progenitor cells (LPCs) with bipotential differentiation capacities are essential for restoring liver homeostasis and hepatocyte population after damage. However, the low proportion and shared markers with epithelial cells make studying LPC heterogeneity difficult, especially in humans. To address this gap, we explored over 259,400 human liver single cells across 4 conditions (fetal, healthy, cirrhotic, and HCC-affected livers).

Increasing the salt concentration of an electrolyte to over 10 M brings new solute-solvent interactions that define an emerging class of super-concentrated electrolytes for rechargeable batteries. To this class we introduce a super-concentrated alkaline electrolyte. Nearly saturated with KOH (at 15 M), the aqueous solution displays a broad electrochemical stability window (>2.

Urinalysis, as a non-invasive and efficient diagnostic method, is very important but faces great challenges due to the complex compositions of urine and limited naturally occurring biomarkers for diseases. Herein, by leveraging the intrinsic absence of endogenous fluorinated interference, a strategy with the enzymatically activated assembly of synthetic fluorinated peptide for cholestatic liver injury (CLI) diagnosis and treatment through F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) urinalysis and efficient drug retention is developed. Specifically, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), overexpressed in the liver of CLI mice, triggers the assembly of fluorinated peptide, thus, directing the traffic and dynamic distribution of the synthetic biomarkers after administration, whereas CLI mice display much slower clearance of peptides through urine as compared with healthy counterparts.

Beneficial remodeling of the immune system in successful ageing individuals (centenarians and supercentenarians) is critical for healthy ageing. However, mechanisms for dynamic regulation of immunity during ageing remain unclear. We use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) as an analytical strategy to study the dynamic regulation of immunity during aging and its molecular mechanisms at the single-cell level.

In this paper, a wideband optically transparent absorber based on multilayer indium tin oxide (ITO) films is designed, fabricated, and measured. The structure uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and ITO films to replace the dielectric substrate and metal pattern of the traditional absorber to achieve optical transparency characteristics. The absorption of the proposed absorber is above 90% from 4.

Serious attention was lacked for various pollutants formed in both gas and tar phase during pyrolysis recycling of waste wind turbine blades (WWTB), especially for components of carcinogenic bisphenol A (BPA) and potentially toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in tar. Pyrolysis temperature within 400-600 °C would significantly impact pollutant formations. Additionally, CO had a potential to mitigate pollutants emission as an economic alternative for N.

Three-color electrophoretic display (EPD) is emerging as a display technology due to its extremely low energy consumption and excellent reflective properties. However, in the process of black and white color image transition, due to the different driving characteristics of red particles, the particles within the three-color EPD cannot be ideally driven to the target position, resulting in the appearance of a red ghost image. For this reason, this study utilized the COMSOL 5.

Nanomaterials with photoresponsivity have garnered attention due to their fluorescence imaging, photodynamic, and photothermal therapeutic properties. In this study, a photoresponsivity nanoassembly was developed by using photosensitizers and carbon dots (CDs). Due to their multiple excitation peaks and multicolor fluorescence emission, especially their membrane-permeating properties, these nanoassemblies can label cells with multiple colors and track cell imaging in real time.

  • The study investigates the effectiveness of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for diagnosing pathogens in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) by analyzing 555 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from 541 patients.
  • Results show that mNGS has a significantly higher positivity rate (79.1%) compared to sputum culture (11.4%), highlighting its potential for better pathogen detection.
  • While mNGS is effective for identifying various pathogens, it is less sensitive for detecting active tuberculosis compared to the X-pert MTB/RIF test (64.6% vs. 85.4%).

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is widely used to interpret cellular states, detect cell subpopulations, and study disease mechanisms. In scRNA-seq data analysis, cell clustering is a key step that can identify cell types. However, scRNA-seq data are characterized by high dimensionality and significant sparsity, presenting considerable challenges for clustering.

Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is the more photoactive component of dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool, which plays a dual role in the photoconversion of aquatic contaminants, acting as both a photosensitizer and an inhibitor. However, little is known about the more systematic mechanism by which DBC exhibits a dual effect, which is closely related to the structure composition of DBC. In this study, the differences in characteristics of DBC obtained from 300 °C and 500 °C were compared via UV-vis absorption spectrum, Fluorescence excitation emission matrix spectra (3D-EEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and evaluated the promoting and inhibiting effects of DBC on ofloxacin (OFL) photodegradation.

Incretin-based drugs, a class of Antidiabetic medications (ADMs) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, may affect the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa). But real-world evidence for this possible effect is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the effect of incretin-based drugs on the incidence of PCa, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors.
