A stable Zr(IV)-MOF for efficient removal of trace SO from flue gas in dry and humid conditions.

Obtaining suitable adsorbents for selective separation of SO from flue gas still remains an important issue. A stable Zr(IV)-MOF (Zr-PTBA) can be conveniently synthesized through the self-assembly of a tetracarboxylic acid ligand (HL = 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(azanetriyl))tetrabenzoic acid) and ZrCl in the presence of trace water. It exhibits a three-dimensional porous structure.

TNFAIP8 promotes cisplatin resistance in cervical carcinoma cells by inhibiting cellular apoptosis.

Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent malignant tumor in women worldwide. Failure of successful treatment is most prevalent in patients with the metastatic disease and the chemotherapy refractory disease. Tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) serves as an anti-apoptotic and pro-oncogenic protein, and is associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis in a number of different cancer types.

Resveratrol alleviates pneumonia by inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

() causes a wide variety of infections, including pneumonia. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound contained in several plant species, exerts various activities, including anti-bacterial and pulmonary protective activities. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol on a murine model of pneumonia and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

OCILRP2 signaling synergizes with LPS to induce the maturation and differentiation of murine dendritic cells.

Osteoclast Inhibitory Lectin-related Protein 2 (OCILRP2) is a typical type II transmembrane protein and belongs to C-type lectin-related protein family. It is preferentially expressed in dendritic cells (DC), B lymphocytes, and activated T lymphocytes. Upon binding to its ligand, OCILRP2 can promote CD28-mediated co-stimulation and enhance T cell activation.

Bis{tris-[3-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazole]manganese(II)} dodeca-molybdosilicate hexa-hydrate.

The title compound, [Mn(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](2)[SiMo(12)O(40)]·6H(2)O, consists of an [SiMo(12)O(40)](4-) heteropolyanion, lying on a centre of inversion, and a complex [Mn(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](4+) cation. The Mn(II) atom of the cation is hexa-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by six N atoms from three chelating 3-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazole ligands. In the heteropolyanion, the four O atoms of the tetra-hedral SiO(4) group each half-occupy eight sites due to Si lying on the centre of inversion.

[Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiated into dopaminergenic neurons in vitro].

Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons play an essential role in modulating motor control. Defects in central DA neurons affect a wide range of neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD). The greatest motivation in the field has been the potential use of DA neurons for cell transplantation therapy in Parkinsonian patients.
