Suppressing tumor metastasis is a crucial strategy for improving survival rates in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), with cancer stem cells (CSCs) being the primary drivers of metastasis. Current therapeutic approaches targeting CSCs are limited, and their molecular mechanisms remain unclear. To address this challenge, a biomimetic nanoparticle delivery system, CMD-BHQ3-PTL/DOX@RBCM is developed, to deliver the stem cell regulator, piceatannol (PTL).

At the Royal Society meeting in 2023, we have mainly presented our lunar orbit array concept called DSL, and also briefly introduced a concept of a lunar surface array, LARAF. As the DSL concept had been presented before, in this article, we introduce the LARAF. We propose to build an array in the far side of the Moon, with a master station which handles the data collection and processing, and 20 stations with maximum baseline of 10 km.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted more and more attention due to their advantages of low cost, high safety and environmental protection. Unfortunately, the unsatisfactory capacity at high current density and long-term cycling performance of cathode materials hinder the development of ZIBs. Here, a novel ZnVO·0.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study highlights the potential of intercalation pseudocapacitance in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) to enhance charge storage, offering better ion kinetics and cycle stability, though research in this area is still developing.
  • - Researchers developed a novel VO@rGO hybrid aerogel, featuring ultrathin VO nanosheets and a 3D graphene network, which serves as an efficient, binder-free electrode for ZIBs, promoting fast electron/ion diffusion.
  • - The VO@rGO electrode exhibited impressive performance with a reversible rate capacity of 153.9 mAh/g at high current rates, and maintained 90.6% capacity after 1050 cycles, indicating strong practical application potential in batteries
