In particular, for X-ray detectors, reducing X-ray dosage can greatly enhance the safety of X-ray imaging technology.

Rotenone adaptation promotes migration and invasion of p53-wild-type colon cancer through lipid metabolism.

Background: The association between mitochondrial dysfunction and multiple metabolic adaptations is increasingly being proven. We previously elucidated that mitochondrial complex I deficiency can promote glycolysis in mut-p53 SW480 cells. However, studies have revealed a phenotype with attenuated glycolysis but enhanced fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in invasive tumors.

The Altered Lipid Composition and Key Lipid Metabolic Enzymes in Thiacloprid-Resistant , with Special Attention Paid to the Function of .

Neonicotinoid resistance is increasingly prevalent in the agricultural pest . Lipids play a critical role in insect defense systems, but their contribution to insect neonicotinoid resistance is disregarded. We conducted metabolomics and transcriptomics studies on thiacloprid-resistant (THG-R) and -susceptible (FFJ-S) populations.

Heat stress regulates the migration and proliferation of lens epithelial cells through ferroptosis and NCOA4-FTH1 interaction.

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) due to the proliferation and migration of lens epithelial cells (LECs) is the main complication after surgery. Heat stress has demonstrated impressive results in halting cell proliferation and migration, while also facilitating cell death. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of ferroptosis in the proliferation and migration of LECs under heat stress.

Predicting straw drinking ability of liquid foods by pipe-flow rheometry.

Designing the straw drinking experience is increasingly important in consumer-oriented liquid food innovation. The perceived 'straw drinking ease' of liquid foods could be assessed by sensory analysis. However, challenges arise in linking instrumental measurements to the subjective quantification of sensory attributes due to the complexity of perceptual behaviors in drinking.

Turnover intention among healthcare workers in Shenzhen, China: the mediating effect of job satisfaction and work engagement.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a random sample of 1060 healthcare workers working in 98 public medical institutions were recruited to rate their turnover intention in 2018 in Shenzhen, China.

Can digital technology adoption promote environmental innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? Evidence from China.

Despite the widespread acknowledgment in both industry and academia of the substantial potential of digital technology for fostering innovation and sustainable development, there remains uncertainty surrounding whether integrating these technologies can improve environmental innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the liability of smallness. This paper utilizes a panel dataset comprising 1036 Chinese manufacturing SMEs listed between 2011 and 2020 to investigate the influence of different digital technology adoption strategies-specifically, digital technology adoption breadth (DTAB) and digital technology adoption depth (DTAD)-on SMEs' environmental innovation. Additionally, we examine the moderating effects of government subsidies and industrial agglomeration on these relationships.
