Regulation of electron density in Pt nanoparticles via bimetallic metal-organic frameworks for enhancing photothermal catalysis of toluene decomposition.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are omnipresent in the sphere of human industrial, harboring latent adverse consequences for health and the ecological system. The photothermal catalytic oxidation of VOCs is an advanced integrated technology that harnesses the combined effects of light and heat energy to enhance the efficiency of VOCs degradation. Herein, a bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) was synthesized with the incorporation of Ce into the UiO-66-NH(Zr) (i.

Evaluation of efficacy, safety and underlying mechanism on Traditional Chinese medicine as synergistic agents for cancer immunotherapy: A preclinical systematic review and meta-analysis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Based on the documentation in Shennong's Herbal Classics, numerous Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are noted to possess anti-tumor properties, and TCM has been used in China for thousands of years. Particularly, current research have demonstrated that TCM combined with immunotherapy exhibited enhanced anti-tumor effects.

Aim Of The Study: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, security, and potential mechanisms of TCM coupled with programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors in cancer animal models.

Integrating QTL mapping and transcriptomics to decipher the genetic architecture of sterol metabolism in L.

Sterols are secondary metabolites commonly found in rapeseed that play crucial physiological roles in plants and also benefit human health. Consequently, unraveling the genetic basis of sterol synthesis in rapeseed is highly important. In this study, 21 individual sterols as well as total sterol (TS) content were detected in a double haploid (DH) population of , and a total of 24 quantitative trait loci (QTL) and 157 mQTL were identified that were associated with TS and different individual sterols.

A novel LINC02321 promotes cell proliferation and decreases cisplatin sensitivity in bladder cancer by regulating RUVBL2.

Bladder cancer (BC) has a high incidence and is prone to recurrence. In most instances, the low 5-year survival rate of advanced BC patients results from postoperative recurrence and drug resistance. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in numerous biological functions by regulating the expression of genes to affect tumorigenesis.

Sperm induce macrophage extracellular trap formation via phagocytosis-dependent mechanism.

Infertility is a public health concern worldwide. Asthenozoospermia is a common cause of male infertility and is characterized by decreased motility. Sperm motility ensures that sperm migrate to complete fertilization.

New insights into the composition and diversity of endophytic bacteria in cultivated .

Endophytic bacteria play crucial roles in the growth and bioactive compound synthesis of host plants. In this study, the composition and diversity of endophytic bacteria in the roots, stems, and leaves from 3-year-old artificially cultivated were investigated using Illumina HiSeq sequencing technology. Total effective reads were assigned to 936 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), belonging to 12 phyla and 289 genera.

Dissecting the Meiotic Recombination Patterns in a Double Haploid Population Using 60K SNP Array.

Meiotic recombination not only maintains the stability of the chromosome structure but also creates genetic variations for adapting to changeable environments. A better understanding of the mechanism of crossover (CO) patterns at the population level is useful for crop improvement. However, there are limited cost-effective and universal methods to detect the recombination frequency at the population level in .

A long noncoding RNA GTF2IRD2P1 suppresses cell proliferation in bladder cancer by inhibiting the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway.

Background: There is growing evidence that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are key in the development of a variety of human tumors. However, the role of lncRNA GTF2IRD2P1 has not been well studied in cancer. The impact of GTF2IRD2P1 on the biological function and clinical relevance in bladder cancer is largely unknown.

The semenogelin I-derived peptide SgI-52 in seminal plasma participates in sperm selection and clearance by macrophages.

Background: Macrophages can phagocytose sperm, especially damaged spermatozoa, in the female genital tract. The semenogelin I-derived peptide SgI-52 in seminal plasma exhibits seminal plasma motility inhibitor (SPMI) activity and can inhibit sperm motility. This raises the question of the role played by SPMIs in macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of sperm.

Illumina-based analysis yields new insights into the diversity and composition of endophytic fungi in cultivated Huperzia serrata.

Endophytic fungi play an important role in plant growth. The composition and structure of endophytes vary in different plant tissues, which are specific habitats for endophyte colonization. To analyze the diversity and structural composition of endophytic fungi from toothed clubmoss (Huperzia serrata) that was artificially cultivated for 3 years, we investigated endophytic fungi from the roots, stems and leaves using comparative sequence analysis of the ITS2 region of the fungal rRNA genes sequenced with high-throughput sequencing technology.
