The interfacial solar steam generation for seawater desalination has attracted attention because of its excellent photothermal performance and efficiency. However, the process of preparing evaporators is often complex and costly, which limits their further practicality. Here, we report an integrated solar evaporator that is easy to prepare and has good salt resistance.

Thus, delving deeper into comprehending the intricate mechanisms underlying breast cancer metastasis becomes imperative, offering potential avenues for pioneering therapeutic approaches. PRMT6, an arginine N-methyltransferase, possesses the ability to methylate both histone and non-histone proteins.

It is of great significance to find new intervention targets and related regulatory mechanisms of VEGFA related angiogenesis for the treatment of tumors. This study focuses on the role of tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/VEGFA signaling axis in colon cancer angiogenesis.

Wuhan used to be the epicenter of China and finally controlled the outbreak through city lockdown and many other policies. However, the pandemic and the prevention strategies had a huge impact on the medical care procedures for patients with breast cancer, leading to the delay or interruption of anticancer therapies.

Inducing senescence of tumor cells may be an effective tumor-inhibiting strategy. In this study we found that PIK3R3 could inhibit the cell senescence of colorectal cancer cells and promote cell proliferation through the p53/p21 signal pathway.

There is very little known about the function of SIX4 in cancer cells. Herein, we investigated whether SIX4 promote cancer metastasis in addition to its direct role in breast cancer cells.

Growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) can induce angiogenesis and hypoxia promotes the expression of VEGFs through activating hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1α). However, the regulation of HIF-1α still not been fully understood.

However, the essential sensing mechanism of nucleic acid probes was prone to the interference of surrounding sequences. Especially when the target sequences formed secondary structures such as hairpin or quadruplex, the nucleic acid probes were hindered from hybridizing with target strands, greatly disabled the function of probes.
