Exploring the Potential Effect of GLP1R Agonism on Common Ageing-Related Diseases via Glucose Reduction: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) are widely used in manageing type 2 diabetes mellitus and weight control. Their potential in treating ageing-related diseases has been gaining attention in recent years. However, the long-term effects of GLP1RAs on these diseases have yet to be fully revealed.

Atomic Gap-State Engineering of MoS for Alkaline Water and Seawater Splitting.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS), have emerged as a generation of nonprecious catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), largely due to their theoretical hydrogen adsorption energy close to that of platinum. However, efforts to activate the basal planes of TMDs have primarily centered around strategies such as introducing numerous atomic vacancies, creating vacancy-heteroatom complexes, or applying significant strain, especially for acidic media. These approaches, while potentially effective, present substantial challenges in practical large-scale deployment.

Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses of Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Different Colors of Soybean Seed Coats.

Soybean has outstanding nutritional and medicinal value because of its abundant protein, oil, and flavonoid contents. This crop has rich seed coat colors, such as yellow, green, black, brown, and red, as well as bicolor variants. However, there are limited reports on the synthesis of flavonoids in the soybean seed coats of different colors.

The Influence of Process Parameters on Hydrogen-Terminated Diamond and the Enhancement of Carrier Mobility.

With the development of diamond technology, its application in the field of electronics has become a new research hotspot. Hydrogen-terminated diamond has the electrical properties of P-type conduction due to the formation of two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) on its surface. However, due to various scattering mechanisms on the surface, its carrier mobility is limited to 50-200 cm/(Vs).

Electrophysiological and Behavioral Responses of (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to Plant Volatiles.

The flea-weevil Korotyaev (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an Eastern Palaearctic Steppe species, and a serious pest of elm trees ( spp., Ulmaceae) by feeding on the leaves (adults) or mining them heavily (larvae) in Xinjiang, China. In order to search for chemical and ecological pest management practices, the olfactory preferences of for leaves of three elm species were investigated.
