Metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) is a widespread disease with high mortality. Unraveling molecular mechanisms of disease progression is of utmost importance. The microenvironment in visceral organs and the skeletal system is of particular interest as a harbinger of metastatic spread.

Article Synopsis
  • Heterostructure WO/BiVO photoanodes show promise for solar-driven hydrogen production but face challenges like poor charge separation and photocorrosion.
  • The addition of cocatalysts like NiOOH increases photocurrent density during water splitting but leads to significant degradation over time; however, using TiO passivation layers can significantly improve performance and stability.
  • The study also finds that natural mine wastewater can be effectively used as an electrolyte, allowing for hydrogen generation and recovery of zinc heavy metals during the process.

Background: Honeycomb cysts (HC) within the alveolar region are distinct histopathological features in the lungs of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. HC are lined with a single-or stratified layer of basal cells (BC), or with a bronchiolar-like epithelium composed of basal-, ciliated- and secretory epithelial cells. By using cultured IPF patient-derived alveolar BC, we aimed to establish an in vitro- and in vivo model to mimic HC formation in IPF.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers compared lung tissue samples from children with ACD, adults with non-specific interstitial pneumonia, and healthy controls, using advanced techniques like transmission electron microscopy and transcriptome profiling.
  • * Findings revealed that in ACD, capillary basement membranes are abnormally thick and multilayered, while certain gene expressions related to vascular structure are altered, suggesting potential therapeutic targets to address these abnormalities.

For the first time, we demonstrate a photoelectrocatalysis technique for simultaneous surfactant pollutant degradation and green hydrogen generation using mesoporous WO/BiVO photoanode under simulated sunlight irradiation. The materials properties such as morphology, crystallite structure, chemical environment, optical absorbance, and bandgap energy of the WO/BiVO films are examined and discussed. We have tested the anionic type (sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate (S2NS)) and cationic type surfactants (benzyl alkyl dimethylammonium compounds (BAC-C12)) as model pollutants.
