Cell-cell communication is essential for both unicellular and multicellular organisms. Secreted peptides that act as diffusive ligands are utilized by eukaryotic organisms to transduce information between cells to coordinate developmental and physiological processes. In plants, The () genes encode a family of secreted small peptides which play pivotal roles in stem cell homeostasis in various types of meristems.

- Conventional distillation methods for separating hexane (C6) isomers are energy-intensive, making adsorptive separations using porous coordination polymers (PCPs) a more efficient alternative due to their tunable properties and porosity.
- This study explores how replacing a methyl (-CH3) group with a trifluoromethyl (-CF3) group in PCPs can enhance stability and separation performance by affecting pore size and hydrophobicity.
- The synthesized PCP-CF3 showed greater stability and selectivity in separating linear and monobranched hexane isomers compared to PCP-CH3, which had high adsorption capacities but low selectivity, demonstrating the potential of fluorine-modified PCPs for improved isomer separation
Article Synopsis
- * In the JCOG0502 trial, 368 patients were observed, where 209 opted for surgery and 159 chose CRT, despite having similar characteristics apart from age.
- * A study found that patients aged 65 and older, males, those with multiple lesions, those without children, and the advice of their doctor were key factors in choosing CRT, with the doctor's opinion being the most impactful.
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) enhances immunogenicity and activates antitumor immune responses. ICD induction by anticancer drugs may be effective against microsatellite-stable colorectal cancers (CRCs) that are less responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Calreticulin (CRT) is crucial in ICD, promoting dendritic cell phagocytosis and initiating antitumor immunity.

Although human fear behavior is reportedly associated with gut microbiome in infancy, infant gut microbiota changes dramatically during the first 5 years, when the diversity and composition of gut microbiome are established. This period is crucial for the development of the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in emotion regulation.
