Herein, we report iron group metal ions of M (M=Fe, Co, or Ni)-doped amorphous/crystalline SnSe/SnSe nanorod/nanosheet hierarchical structures (a/c-SnSe/SnSe) for selective CO electroreduction to ethanol. Iron group metal ions doping induces multiple active sites at the interface of M-doped SnSe/SnSe p-n heterojunction, which strengthens *CO intermediate binding for further C-C coupling to eventual ethanol generation.

We generated a gastric adenocarcinoma patient-derived xenograft mice model, treated with chronic unpredictable mild stimulation. Based on the RNA-sequence from the mouse model, patient data from TCGA, and MDD-related (major depressive disorder) genes from the GEO database, 56 hub genes were identified by the intersection of differential expression genes from the three datasets.

Despite ongoing efforts to reduce time and expenses in drug development, ensuring medication safety remains an urgent problem. One of the major problems involved in drug development is hepatotoxicity, specifically known as drug-induced liver injury (DILI).

Despite great advances in CO-tolerant catalysts, their effectiveness is often limited to fundamental three-electrode systems, which is inadequate for practical PEMFC applications. Herein, we present a straightforward thermal oxidation strategy for constructing a Ru oxide blocking layer on commercial PtRu/C through a one-step Ru-segregation-and-oxidation process.

Here, we demonstrate a strategy for tuning the microenvironment of CORR by learning from the natural chlorophyll and heme. Specifically, the conductive covalent organic frameworks (COFs) linked by piperazine serve as versatile supports for single-atom catalysts (SACs), and the pendant groups modified on the COFs can be readily tailored to offer different push-pull electronic effects for tunable microenvironment.

In this work, we construct Mn-doped VS multilayer nanowafers applied in a flow cell to yield methanol as a single liquid product to tackle this challenge. Mn doping adjusts the electronic structure of VS and concurrently introduces sulfur vacancies, forming a critical *CO intermediate and facilitating its sequential hydrogenation to methanol.

Due to its involvement in inflammatory, immunological and other associated processes, P2YR has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. Despite lacking a determined three-dimensional crystal structure, the homology modeling technique based on closely related P2Y receptors' crystallography has been extensively utilized for developing active compounds targeting P2YR.

Herein, we report an efficient one-step method to construct freestanding mesoporous Mo-doped PtBi intermetallic metallene superstructures (denoted M-PtBiMo IMSs) as highly active and stable ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) catalysts. The materials retained their catalytic performance, even in complex direct ethylene glycol fuel cells (DEGFCs).

Among purinoceptors, only P2YR is positively correlated with inflammatory score in mucosal biopsies of ulcerative colitis patients, nevertheless, the role of P2YR in ulcerative colitis remains unclear. Here, based on the over-expressions of P2YR in the intestinal epithelium of mice with experimental colitis, we find that male mice lacking P2YR in intestinal epithelial cells exhibit less intestinal injury induced by dextran sulfate sodium.

Methods: We identified pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) in NP by machine learning analysis of the GSE24982 and GSE60670 datasets.
Gastric cancer is a highly metastatic malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality globally. Recent studies reported that sulfonamide derivatives such as indisulam exhibited inhibitory effects on the viability and migration of cancer cells. However, multiple clinical trials revealed that indisulam did not significantly prevent cancer progression due to metastasis and drug resistance.

Herein, we successfully prepare a novel Fe,Co-CeO/CeF@MXene heterostructure with Fe-Co dual active sites and oxygen vacancies for alkaline OER using an energy-free consumption co-deposition method. Impressively, Fe,Co-CeO/CeF@MXene achieves an ultralow overpotential of 192 mV and a long-term stability of 110 h at 10 mA cm without structural changes, thereby outperforming the commercial IrO (345 mV).

A series of spiropiperidines was designed and synthesized by structural modifications based on our previous lead compound and evaluated with cellular signaling assays for the discovery of 5-HT receptor (5-HTR) selective agonists with a G bias. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of spiropiperidines uncovered spiro[chromene-2,4'-piperidine]s as a novel chemotype of 5-HTR selective agonists. Among this new series, the 7-chloro analogue was identified as the most potent and selective 5-HTR partial agonist ( = 71.

However, when compared with multi-panicle-type varieties, the yield stability of large panicle-type varieties remains a challenge, and limited information is available on the comparative advantages of multi-panicle types. Consequently, a two-year experiment was conducted to evaluate the grain yield, biomass production, leaf area index (LAI), and radiation use efficiency (RUE) of large panicle-type hybrid rice (Y-liangyou 900, YLY900) and multi-panicle-type hybrid rice (C-liangyouhuazhan, CLYHZ) under three nitrogen (N) treatments (0, 180, 270 kg N ha).
