Decoding the connection between lncRNA and obesity: Perspective from humans and .

Background: Obesity is a burgeoning global health problem with an escalating prevalence and severe implications for public health. New evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play a pivotal role in regulating adipose tissue function and energy homeostasis across various species. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying obesity remain elusive.

Aluminum nanotubes as an efficient catalyst for hydrogen production thermochemical water splitting: a reactive molecular dynamics simulation.

Water splitting is the process of using energy to break down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The use of an aluminum catalyst in the thermochemical process can help to increase the efficiency and rate of the reaction. Furthermore, aluminum is a relatively inexpensive material that can be easily produced, making it an appealing option for use in large-scale water-splitting operations.

Conservation of gene architecture and domains amidst sequence divergence in the lncRNA gene across the genus: an analysis.

The developmentally active and cell-stress responsive locus in carries two exons, one intron, one short translatable open reading frame (ORFω), long stretch of unique tandem repeats and an overlapping near its 30' end. It produces multiple long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) using two transcription start and four termination sites. Earlier cytogenetic studies revealed functional conservation of in several species.

Modulating the electronic structure of lanthanum manganite by ruthenium doping for enhanced photocatalytic water oxidation.

Efficient anti-corrosive coating of cold-rolled steel in a seawater environment using an oil-based graphene oxide ink.

We report the production of an efficient anti-corrosive coating of cold-rolled (CR) steel in a seawater environment (∼3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solution) using an oil-based graphene oxide ink. The graphene oxide was produced by heating Aeschynomene aspera plant as a carbon source at 1600 °C in an argon atmosphere.

Observation of large positive magneto-resistance in bubble decorated graphene oxide films derived from shellac biopolymer: a new carbon source and facile method for morphology-controlled properties.

We report a large positive magneto-resistance (MR) in bubble decorated graphene oxide films that are derived from shellac biopolymer as a carbon source. These films were produced on a quartz substrate by heating the biopolymer coated substrate at 900 °C in an argon atmosphere. The characterization data of the films using Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal that shellac can be used as a new carbon source to produce transparent bubble decorated graphene oxide films.

Pt-Pd alloy nanoparticle-decorated carbon nanotubes: a durable and methanol tolerant oxygen reduction electrocatalyst.

We describe the decoration of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) with Pt-Pd alloy nanoelectrocatalysts of three different compositions and their electrocatalytic performance toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The decoration of the MCNTs involves polymer-assisted impregnation of metal precursors PtCl(6)(2-) and PdCl(6)(2-) and the subsequent reduction of the impregnated precursors by a modified polyol route. The composition of the catalyst was controlled by tuning the molar ratio of the precursors during their impregnation.
