Denosumab is a human IgG2 monoclonal antibody against receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) for the treatment of osteoporosis and bone loss. HLX14 is a proposed biosimilar of denosumab.

Sodium metal anodes (SMA), featuring high energy content, low electrochemical potential and easy availability, are a compelling option for sustainable energy storage. However, notorious sodium dendrite and unstable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) have largely retarded their widespread implantation. Herein, porous amorphous carbon nanofiber embedded with Bi nanoparticles in nanopores (Bi@NC) was rationally designed as a 3D host for SMA.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how cardiovascular health (CVH), measured by the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score, influences the effectiveness of fish oil supplements in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among middle-aged and older individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
  • It analyzed data from 19,003 T2D participants in the UK Biobank and found that regular fish oil users with better CVH had a significantly reduced risk of CVD mortality, while those with poorer CVH did not see any benefits.
  • The results suggest that individuals with low CVH levels may not receive cardiovascular benefits from fish oil, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to lifestyle improvement for better
