Heterojunction-structured NiSe/CoSe nanoparticles anchored on holey graphene for performance-enhanced sodium-ion batteries.

Graphene-based metal selenides, are increasingly recognized for their potential in sodium-ion battery applications due to their superior electrochemical properties. The unique structure of graphene facilitates rapid in-plane transport of sodium ions, but the interlayer diffusion remains a significant challenge. The NiSe@CoSe heterojunctions, strategically grown adjacent to the graphene pores, offer a novel solution by creating in-plane holes that serve as direct channels for vertical ion transport, thereby enhancing cross-layer sodium ion permeation.

An FeNiSe/holey-graphene composite with superior rate capability enabled by in-plane holes for sodium-ion batteries.

FeNiSe@holey-graphene (FNS@HG) has been prepared by growth and simultaneous perforation a carbothermal reaction. The generation of nanoholes on the graphene sheets significantly reduced the diffusion distance of electrolyte ions, enhancing the rate capability of FNS@HG as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries.

The metabolomics analysis of cecal contents elucidates significant metabolites involved in the therapeutic effects of total flavonoids derived from Sonchus arvensis L. in male C57BL/6 mice with ulcerative colitis.

Ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory disease affecting the colon and rectal mucosa, is characterized by chronic and heterogeneous behavior of unknown origin. The primary cause of UC is chronic inflammation, which is closely linked to the development of colorectal cancer. Sonchus arvensis L.

Total flavones from ameliorate colitis by adjusting the gut microbiota.

Objective: is traditional Chinese food and medicine. We investigated protective effects of flavones from (SAF) on colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice by regulating gut microbiota (GM).

Method: C57BL/6 mice were divided randomly: control group (CL); DSS group (ML); positive control + DSS group (AN); SAF + DSS (FE) group.

Virus-like particle-based nanocarriers as an emerging platform for drug delivery.

New nanocarrier technologies are emerging, and they have great potential for improving drug delivery, targeting efficiency and bioavailability. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are natural nanoparticles from animal and plant viruses and bacteriophages. Hence, VLPs present several great advantages, such as morphological uniformity, biocompatibility, reduced toxicity and easy functionalisation.

L. water extract attenuates dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis by adjusting gut microbiota.

L. (SA) is a traditional Chinese food and medicine termed "Ju Mai Cai". The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of an aqueous extract of SA on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) - induced colitis in mice by adjusting the diversity of gut microbiota.

Delivery of RGD-modified liposome as a targeted colorectal carcinoma therapy and its autophagy mechanism.

Liposomes are among the most extensively applied drug carriers due to their excellent biocompatibility, controllable size and ease of modification. In the present study, we prepared untargeted liposomes (LP) and targeting liposomes modified with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD-LP), and Doxorubicin Hydrochloride (DOX) or fluorescent probe was loaded. RGD-LP/DOX was identified to be uniformly spherical in size 131.
