Plasma levels of IL-35 at baseline were detected using ELISA.

Photoredox-Catalyzed 1,4-Dichloromethyldimerization of Alkenes with Chloroform: Access to Polychlorinated Vicinal Diaryl Alkanes.

A visible-light-mediated strategy is reported for the direct synthesis of polychlorinated vicinal diaryl alkanes from aryl alkenes and chloroform. In this approach, two haloalkyl radicals generated from chloroform via halogen atom transfer (XAT) and direct single electron transfer (SET) within the same photoredox catalysis cycle enable the 1,4-dichloromethyldimerization of alkenes. Besides chloroform, this strategy is applicable to carbon tetrachloride, bromotrichloromethane, and α-bromo carboxylic esters, yielding corresponding 1,4-disubstituted vicinal diaryl alkanes.

Injectable, self-healing and phase change nanocomposite gels loaded with two nanotherapeutic agents for mild-temperature, precise and synergistic photothermal-thermodynamic tumor therapy.

This approach minimizes drug dosage and mitigates the adverse effects of systemic drug delivery on healthy tissues.

Construction of ternary heterojunction photocatalyst CuCl(OH)/In/InO for boosted photocatalytic CO reduction performance.

The photocatalytic conversion of CO and HO into useful chemicals or fuels over semiconductor photocatalysts is regarded as a promising technology to address the problems of global warming and energy exhaustion.

A Ratiometric Fluorescence Method Based on PCN-224-DABA for the Detection of Se(IV) and Fe(III).

In this study, 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) was introduced into the porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-224) for the first time to prepare a ratiometric fluorescent probe (PCN-224-DABA) to quantitatively detect ferric iron (Fe(III)) and selenium (IV) (Se(IV)). The fluorescence attributed to the DABA of PCN-224-DABA at 345 nm can be selectively quenched by Fe(III) and Se(IV), but the fluorescence emission peak attributed to tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) at 475 nm will not be disturbed. Therefore, the ratio of I/I with an excitation wavelength of 270 nm can be designed to determine Fe(III) and Se(IV).

Ring finger protein 5 mediates STING degradation through ubiquitinating K135 and K155 in a teleost fish.

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a key connector protein in interferon (IFN) signaling, crucial for IFN induction during the activation of antiviral innate immunity. In mammals, ring finger protein 5 (RNF5) functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, mediating STING regulation through K150 ubiquitylation to prevent excessive IFN production. However, the mechanisms underlying RNF5's regulation of STING in teleost fish remain unknown.

Phase Engineering Facilitates O-O Coupling via Lattice Oxygen Mechanism for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution on Nickel-Iron Phosphide.

Nickel-iron-based catalysts are recognized for their high efficiency in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions, yet the underlying mechanisms that drive their superior performance remain unclear. Herein, we revealed the molecular OER mechanism and the structure-intermediate-performance relationship of OER on a phosphorus-doped nickel-iron nanocatalyst (NiFeP). NiFeP exhibited exceptional activity and stability with an overpotential of only 210 mV at 10 mA cm in 1 M KOH and a cell voltage of 1.

In Situ Reconstructed Hydroxyl-Rich Atomic-Thin BiOCO Enables Ampere-Scale Synthesis of Formate from CO with Activated Water Dissociation.

Renewable electricity-driven CO electroreduction provides a promising route toward carbon neutrality and sustainable chemical production. Nevertheless, the viability of this route faces constraints of catalytic efficiency and durability in near-neutral electrolytes at industrial-scale current densities, mechanistically originating from unfavorable accommodation of H species from water dissociation. Herein, a new strategy is reported to accelerate water dissociation by the rich surface hydroxyl on bismuth subcarbonate nanosheets in situ electrochemical transformed from bismuth hydroxide nanotube precursors.

An evaluation of sugemalimab for the treatment of relapsed or refractory extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma.

Introduction: Relapsed or refractory extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (R/R ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive subtype arising from natural killer or cytotoxic T-cells, predominantly affecting the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, lacking a standardized therapeutic approach. Sugemalimab, a fully human, full-length anti-PD-L1 immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody (mAb), has been investigated in a Single-Arm, Multicenter, Phase II Study (GEMSTONE-201). The results demonstrated significant efficacy, favorable tolerability, and manageable adverse reactions of sugemalimab in R/R ENKTL.

Fungal β-1, 3-glucanosyltransferases: A comprehensive review on classification, catalytic mechanism and functional role.

β-1,3-Glucans form the major carbohydrate component of fungal cell walls, playing a vital role in cell viability, stress response, virulence, and even healthy functions such as immuno-enhancement. The elongation and branching of β-1,3-glucans is a mystery. More evidence proved the β-1, 3-glucantransferases belonging to GH72 or GH17 family to branch and remodel the synthesized linear β-1, 3-glucan chain by cleaving its internal β-1, 3-linkage and transfer the cleaved fragment to the nonreducing end of another β-1, 3-glucan acceptor.

An electrochemical sensor based on electrodeposited methylene blue on a carbon nanotube decorated hydrogel for the detection of ascorbic acid.

In this study, a self-assembled electrochemical sensor was prepared by coating with a carbon nanotube (CNT) decorated hydrogel (HG) combined with electrodeposition of methylene blue (MB), and then used for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The three-dimensional network of HG has the advantages of large electroactive surface area, rapid diffusion and electron transfer rate, strong adhesive ability and stabilization of the polymerized MB. The MB provides high electrocatalytic activity and works as an electron transfer mediator to facilitate the oxidation of AA.

Three-dimensional tracking of organ development in live plants based on plasma membrane dyes at single-cell resolution.

Plant developmental biology necessitates precise three-dimensional (3D) tracking of dynamic processes in live plants, and the 3D imaging technique in developmental bioimaging requires suitable fluorophores to achieve single-cell resolution imaging. Herein, we have designed a series of plasma membrane fluorescent dyes with a number of excellent properties and established a single-cell resolution imaging tool based on these dyes for three-dimensional imaging of various tissues and organs in living plants. The designed plasma membrane fluorescent dyes not only have the advantages of rapid wash-free staining, highly specific targeting, high brightness and high contrast imaging, ultralong imaging time and low biotoxicity, but also effectively avoid the autofluorescence interference of chlorophyll in cells, allowing for the development of a three-dimensional imaging approach of living plant organs with single-cell resolution.

Colonic dysmotility regulated by downregulation of PDGFRα+ cells / SK3 channel in DSS-induced colitis mice.

Colitis is a complex multifactorial disease with an unknown aetiology that mainly manifests as chronic refractory colon transmission disorders. Smooth muscle, the main source of colon transmission power, consists of not only smooth muscle cells (SMCs) but also PDGFRα+ cells that mediate smooth muscle relaxation and ICCs that mediate contraction. PDGFRα+ cells and their unique small conductance Ca2+-activated K (SK3) channels are crucial in regulating colonic transit by exerting inhibitory effects.
