Construction of MXene/BiWO Schottky Junction for Highly Efficient Piezocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution and Unraveling Mechanism.

For the first time, a series of MXene (TiCT)/BiWO Schottky junction piezocatalysts were constructed, and the piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity was explored. Optimal TiCT/BiWO exhibits the highest piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 764.4 μmol g h, which is nearly 8 times higher than that of pure TiCT and twice as high as that of BiWO.

An Exploratory Study of Laser Scribing Quality through Cross-Section Scribing Profiles.

This article presents a novel approach for evaluating laser scribing quality through cross-section profiles generated from a three-dimensional optical profiler. Existing methods for assessing scribing quality only consider the width and depth of a scribe profile. The proposed method uses a cubic spline model for cross-section profiles.

Construction of an Advanced NiFe-LDH/MoS-NiS/NF Heterostructure Catalyst toward Efficient Electrocatalytic Overall Water Splitting.

Developing high-efficiency, low-cost, and earth-abundant electrocatalysts toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly desirable for boosting the energy efficiency of water splitting. Herein, we adopted an interfacial engineering strategy to enhance the overall water splitting (OWS) activity via constructing a bifunctional OER/HER electrocatalyst combining MoS-NiS with NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) on a nickel foam substrate. The NiFe-LDH/MoS-NiS/NF electrocatalyst delivers superior OER/HER activity and stability, such as low overpotentials (220 and 79 mV for OER and HER at current densities of 50 and 10 mA cm, respectively) and a low Tafel slope.

Rational design of CdS/BiOCl S-scheme heterojunction for effective boosting piezocatalytic H evolution and pollutants degradation performances.

Piezocatalysis as an emerging technology is broadly applied in hydrogen evolution and organic pollutants degradation aspects. However, the dissatisfactory piezocatalytic activity is a severe bottleneck for its practical applications. In this work, CdS/BiOCl S-scheme heterojunction piezocatalysts were constructed and explored the performances of piezocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution and organic pollutants degradation (methylene orange, rhodamine B and tetracycline hydrochloride) under strain by ultrasonic vibration.

Sequential gene expression analysis of cervical malignant transformation identifies RFC4 as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Background: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is known to arise through increasingly higher-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) or cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINs). This study aimed to describe sequential molecular changes and identify biomarkers in cervical malignant transformation.

Methods: Multidimensional data from five publicly available microarray and TCGA-CESC datasets were analyzed.

Elaiophylin triggers paraptosis and preferentially kills ovarian cancer drug-resistant cells by inducing MAPK hyperactivation.

Finely tuned mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling is important for cancer cell survival. Perturbations that push cells out of the MAPK fitness zone result in cell death. Previously, in a screen of the North China Pharmaceutical Group Corporation's pure compound library of microbial origin, we identified elaiophylin as an autophagy inhibitor.

Correction to: FAK-ERK activation in cell/matrix adhesion induced by the loss of apolipoprotein E stimulates the malignant progression of ovarian cancer.

In the original publication of this manuscript [1], Fig. 5E lower panel was incorrect due to an error in the preparation of these figures for publication. It was noticed that in the lower panel of Fig.

FAK-ERK activation in cell/matrix adhesion induced by the loss of apolipoprotein E stimulates the malignant progression of ovarian cancer.

Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a mediator of tumor progression. However, whether the alterations of the intraperitoneal ECM prior to tumor establishment affects the malignant progression of ovarian cancer remains elusive.

Methods: Apolipoprotein (ApoE) knock-out mice was used to analyze the intraperitoneal ECM alterations by quantification of the major components of ECM.
