MXene-induced construction of SnS2 nano-arrays with sulfur vacancies for high-efficiency photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Solar-driven CO2 reduction has gained significant attention as a sustainable approach for CO2 utilization, enabling the selective production of fuels and chemicals. SnS2, a non-precious metal sulfide semiconductor, has great potential in photocatalytic CO2 reduction due to its unique physicochemical properties. However, low electrical conductivity and susceptibility to aggregation of pure SnS2 lead to a high charge recombination rate and hinder the photocatalytic efficiency.

Pd-catalyzed asymmetric etherification of 2-chromenes: enantioselective construction of chiral 4-alkoxy-4-chromenes.

A new strategy for the construction of a chiral 4-alkoxy-4-chromene skeleton was reported. A series of chiral 4-alkoxy-4-chromenes containing the trifluoromethyl group were obtained in good yields (up to 80% yield) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee).

Intensive Blood Pressure Strategy on Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome: Post Hoc Analysis of a Clinical Trial.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) management in patients with metabolic syndrome is complex, and optimal targets remain debated. The CRHCP (China Rural Hypertension Control Project) trial demonstrated that intensive BP control reduces cardiovascular events. This secondary analysis assessed its efficacy in patients with hypertension and metabolic syndrome.

Intermittent fasting inhibits platelet activation and thrombosis through the intestinal metabolite indole-3-propionate.

Platelet hyperreactivity contributes significantly to thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction and stroke. While antiplatelet drugs are used, residual ischemic risk remains. Intermittent fasting (IF), a dietary pattern characterized by alternating periods of eating and fasting, has shown cardiovascular benefits, but its effect on platelet activation is unclear.

Haplotype-resolved and chromosome-level reference genome assembly of provides insights into the evolution and juvenile growth of persimmon.

The genus , which includes both wild and cultivated species such as and , represents a diverse genetic pool with significant agricultural value. In this study, we present a high-quality, haplotype-resolved, chromosome-level genome assembly for s (hereinafter referred to as 'Deyangshi'), an autotetraploid wild species notable for its short juvenile phase, by integrating high-fidelity single-molecule, nanopore sequencing, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture techniques. The assembled genome size is ~3.
