Designing interfacially stable Na-ion polymer electrolytes with tailored local solvation structures.

Azodicarbonamide (ADA) is selected as an additive to the polymer electrolyte (PE) to improve the stability of the NaFeMnNiO cathode. ADA can capture hydrogen from the polymer and induce local structures, enhancing the ionic conductivity of the PE. Moreover, the dehydrogenated ADA can bond to Fe ions, preventing the PE from decomposing.

ANLN promotes head and neck squamous cell carcinoma progression by upregulating PD-L1 via the ERK-MAPK pathway.

Anillin (ANLN) is a highly conserved protein involved in cytokinesis and cytoskeletal remodeling. This study investigates the role of ANLN in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) progression and its impact on the tumor immune microenvironment, with a focus on the combination of ANLN silencing and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy. Through and experiments, along with clinical specimen analysis, we discovered that silencing ANLN not only inhibits the malignant progression of HNSCC but also reduces the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase-mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK-MAPK) signaling pathway and decreases programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression.

Advanced Microarrays as Heterogeneous Force-Remodeling Coordinator to Orchestrate Nuclear Configuration and Force-Sensing Mechanotransduction in Stem Cells.

Integrin and focal adhesion can regulate cytoskeleton distribution to govern actin-related force remodeling and play an important role in nuclear configuration and force-sensing mechanotransduction of stem cells.
