Woven Cement Slurry.

Weaving, a pivotal technique in human construction activities since the Neolithic era, remains unattainable in modern concrete construction. Here, a novel particle-polymer coalescence strategy is proposed, which involves electrostatic, bridging, coordinating, and hydrogen bonding interactions, to establish balanced particle cohesion, enabling the fabrication of stretchable cement slurry. The bending, knotting, coiling, winding, and interlacing of cement filaments for structural textiles is successfully realized beyond traditional formwork casting, grouting, and 3D-printing, and fabricate the first-ever Chinese knot woven with cement.

Extraction, Purification, Structural Characteristics, Biological Activities, and Applications of Polysaccharides from : A Review.

Blume is a well-known medicinal and edible plant in China, celebrated for its extensive history in traditional medicine and functional food applications. Among its key bioactive components, polysaccharides have drawn significant attention from researchers in the fields of health food and medicine due to their potential health benefits. Recent studies have revealed various biological activities associated with polysaccharides, including antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-aging, immune regulation, and neuroprotective properties.

Neuronal Dual-Specificity Phosphatase 26 Inhibition via Reactive-Oxygen-Species Responsive Mesoporous-Silica-Loaded Hydrogel for Spinal Cord Injury Repair.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a formidable challenge in biomedical research, as the silencing of intrinsic regenerative signals in most spinal neurons results in an inability to reestablish neural circuits. In this study, we found that neurons with low axonal regeneration after SCI showed decreased extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation levels. However, the expression of dual specificity phosphatase 26 (DUSP26)─which negatively regulates ERK phosphorylation─was reduced considerably in neurons undergoing spontaneous axonal regeneration.

New insight in immunotherapy and combine therapy in colorectal cancer.

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment marks a major breakthrough. These therapies have proven safer and more effective than traditional radiotherapy and targeted treatments. Immunotherapies like pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and ipilimumab have pioneered new treatment avenues, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

A Robust Dual-Layered Solid Electrolyte Interphase Enabled by Cation Specific Adsorption-Induced Built-In Electrostatic Field for Long-Cycling Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

Solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries (SSLMBs) are considered as one of the most promising next-generation battery technologies due to their high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, interfacial issues such as side reactions and Li dendrite growth severely hinder the practical application of SSLMBs. In this contribution, we proposed a cationic built-in electrostatic field to drive the generation of an anion-derived dual-layered solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).
