Threshold effect of physical exercise on its association to diabetes mellitus in short sleep population: evidence from a nationwide study.

Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant public health concern, especially among individuals with short sleep duration. Understanding the relationship between physical exercise and DM in this population is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies. However, the presence of a potential threshold effect of exercise on DM risk remains unclear.

Two-way rushing travel: Cathodic-anodic coupling of BiO-SnO@CuO nanowires, a bifunctional catalyst with excellent CORR and MOR performance for the efficient production of formate.

Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) generates high value-added products and simultaneously reduces excess atmospheric CO concentrations, is regarded as a potential approach to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the kinetic process of the anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is slow, resulting in a poor electrochemical efficiency of CORR. It is a breakthrough to replace OER with methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), which has more advantageous reaction kinetics.

Squeezed Abrikosov-Josephson Vortex in Atomic-Layer Pb Superconductors Formed on Vicinal Si(111) Substrates.

Unlike bulk counterparts, two-dimensional (2D) superconductors are sensitive to disorder. Here, we investigated superconductivity of Pb atomic layers formed on vicinal substrates to reveal how surface steps with an interval shorter than the coherence length ξ affect it. Electrical transport showed reduced critical temperature and enhanced critical magnetic field.

NF-B Inhibitor Myrislignan Induces Ferroptosis of Glioblastoma Cells via Regulating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transformation in a Slug-Dependent Manner.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant tumor of the adult central nervous system. Aberrant regulation of cell death is an important feature of GBM, and investigating the regulatory mechanisms of cell death in GBM may provide insights into development of new therapeutic strategies. We demonstrated that myrislignan has ferroptosis-promoting activity.
