Background: Exosomes are released by most cell types, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), transfer diverse macromolecules and participate in intercellular communication in cancer. However, whether M2-polarized TAMs (M2-TAMs)-derived exosomes (M2-exos) transmit the oncogenic protein malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) to reprogram lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cancer cells is unknown.

Methods: THP-1-differentiated macrophages were co-cultured with A549 cells to generate TAMs (M0-TAMs and M2-TAMs).

Macrocyclic polymer materials exhibit excellent selectivity and adsorption performance in pollutant adsorption due to unique host-guest recognition. Herein, three kinds of calixarene polymers (C4P, C6P and C8P) were synthesized through Sonogashira reaction, and were characterized through H NMR, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM. The water contact angle experiments revealed that three kinds of calixarene polymers were highly hydrophobic, and they all exhibited high enrichment efficiency for weak polar chloro-substituted benzene compounds (chlorobenzene, o-chlorotoluene, p-dichlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes).

Article Synopsis
  • The development of advanced personal protective equipment (PPE) using functional materials is crucial for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, but achieving effective antimicrobial properties remains a challenge.
  • A newly reported hierarchically porous cerium metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) significantly enhances antimicrobial performance by promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and effectively trapping bacteria.
  • This innovative Ce-MOF design provides exceptional antimicrobial efficacy—nearly 100%—even in low-light conditions, paving the way for the creation of self-disinfecting PPE materials.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the foremost contributor to cancer-related fatalities globally, with limited effective therapeutic modalities. Recent research has shed light on the role of ferroptosis in various types of cancers, offering a potential avenue for improving cancer therapy. Herein, we identified E3 ubiquitin ligase deltex 2 (DTX2) as a potential therapeutic target candidate implicated in promoting NSCLC cell growth by inhibiting ferroptosis.

CrSbSe─the only experimentally validated one-dimensional (1D) ferromagnetic semiconductor─has recently attracted significant attention. However, all reported synthesis methods for CrSbSe nanocrystals are based on top-down methods. Here we report a template selection strategy for the bottom-up synthesis of CrSbSe nanoribbons.

Article Synopsis
  • - Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a high rate of mortality and is influenced by circular RNAs (circRNAs). This study focuses on circ_0028826's role in NSCLC development.
  • - Researchers employed various techniques like RT-qPCR and western blotting to explore how circ_0028826 affects cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in NSCLC, including in vivo tumor models.
  • - Findings show that circ_0028826 promotes NSCLC by increasing IDH2 levels through inhibition of miR-758-3p, suggesting that targeting this mechanism could be a potential treatment strategy for NSCLC.

Cancer therapy has moved from single agents to more mechanism-based targeted approaches. In recent years, the combination of HDAC inhibitors and other anticancer chemicals has produced exciting progress in cancer treatment. Herein, we developed a novel prodrug via the ligation of dichloroacetate to selenium-containing potent HDAC inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
  • * Research revealed that CART helps protect the heart during ischemia-reperfusion by reducing cell death (apoptosis) and excessive autophagy, suggesting it could be a promising treatment for MIRI.
  • * CART functions by activating the phospho-AKT pathway, which decreases harmful effects like lactate dehydrogenase release and oxidative stress, but this protective effect is blocked by a PI3K inhibitor, indicating the significance of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in

Spatial immobilization of fragile enzymes using a nanocarrier is an efficient means to design heterogeneous biocatalysts, presenting superior stability and recyclability to pristine enzymes. An immobilized enzyme, however, usually compromises its catalytic activity because of inevasible mass transfer issues and the unfavorable conformation changes in a confined environment. Here, we describe a synergetic metal-organic framework pore-engineering strategy to trap lipase (an important hydrolase), which confers lipase-boosted stability and activity simultaneously.

To investigate the cell-cell interactions of intergeneric bacterial species, the study detected the survival of Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) under monospecies or coaggregation state with Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. polymorphum (Fnp) in environmental stress. Ef and Fnp infected the human macrophages with different forms (Ef and Fnp monospecies, Ef-Fnp coaggregates, Ef + Fnp cocultures) for exploring the immunoregulatory effects and the relevant molecular mechanisms.

Heart failure is associated with histone deacetylase (HDAC) regulation of gene expression, the inhibition of which is thought to be beneficial for heart failure therapy. Here, we explored the cardioprotective effects and underlying mechanism of a novel selenium-containing HDAC inhibitor, Se-SAHA, on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced heart failure. We found that pretreatment with Se-SAHA attenuated ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs).

Utilizing covalent organic framework (COF) as a hypotoxic and porous scaffold to encapsulate enzyme (enzyme@COF) has inspired numerous interests at the intersection of chemistry, materials, and biological science. In this study, we report a convenient scheme for one-step, aqueous-phase synthesis of highly crystalline enzyme@COF biocatalysts. This facile approach relies on an ionic liquid (2 μL of imidazolium ionic liquid)-mediated dynamic polymerization mechanism, which can facilitate the in situ assembly of enzyme@COF under mild conditions.

Digital technologies are empowering economic and social development, which attracts scholars' attention to the relationship between digitalization and economic resilience, However, the empirical analysis for different countries and stages of development are inconsistent, and the influencing mechanism need to be further explored. Using panel data for 284 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2020, this study examines the impact of urban digital development on economic resilience. The findings are as follows: (1) The increased digitalization significantly enhances the urban economic resilience, and this effect was more pronounced in eastern regions and large-scale cities.

With the deep integration of "AI + medicine", AI-assisted technology has been of great help to human beings in the medical field, especially in the area of predicting and diagnosing diseases based on big data, because it is faster and more accurate. However, concerns about data security seriously hinder data sharing among medical institutions. To fully exploit the value of medical data and realize data collaborative sharing, we developed a medical data security sharing scheme based on the C/S communication mode and constructed a federated learning architecture that uses homomorphic encryption technology to protect training parameters.

This paper examines the relationship between local venture capital (VC) funds and portfolio enterprise internationalization from the perspective of limited partners (LPs). Based on a sample consist of 581 listed enterprises invested by local VC funds in China during 2009-2021, it's found that, compared to the VC funds invested by local LPs completely (LLP_VC), the VC funds with foreign LP investment (FLP_VC) are more likely to help portfolio enterprises list overseas. If FLP_VC syndicates or act as a major investor, it will have a greater role in promoting the internationalization of enterprises.
