"Sergeants-and-soldiers" principle in the synthesis of intrinsically chiral Au clusters.

Surface ligand modification on atomically precise metal clusters is one of the important strategies not only to stabilize monodisperse clusters, but also to derive unique optical and electronic properties. The chiral coordination of surface ligands on clusters controls the global chirality in clusters giving rise to unambiguous optical activity including circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Stereoselective synthesis of intrinsically chiral clusters has been achieved by the use of chiral ligands stabilizing one-handed clusters selectively.

The role of KLF5 in gut microbiota and lung adenocarcinoma: unveiling programmed cell death pathways and prognostic biomarkers.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most important subtype of lung cancer. It is well known that the gut microbiome plays an important role in the pathophysiology of various diseases, including cancer, but little research has been done on the intestinal microbiome associated with LUAD. Utilizing bioinformatics tools and data analysis, we identified novel potential prognostic biomarkers for LUAD.

Levels of free thyroxine are higher in displaced pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures compared with non‑displaced fractures.

Relationships between bone metabolic biomarkers and fracture displacement have been reported in the elderly. However, factors related to bone metabolism that predict fracture displacement remain unclear in children. The present study investigated bone metabolic biomarkers associated with the displacement of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures.

Uneven changes in air and crown temperatures associated with snowpack changes affect the phenology of overwintering cereals.

Time series analysis of overwintering cereals in snowy areas has revealed several phenological patterns associated with climate changes in winter. Herein, to investigate the recent effect of climatic variations on overwintering cereals, we investigated the phenology over multiple decades at three snowy region sites with an air temperature (T) increase trend of 0.48-1.
