Wnt3a Enhances Mesenchymal Stem Cell Engraftment and Differentiation in a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Rat Model.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy is a novel approach for treating COPD. However, the difficulty in engraftment and easy clearance of BMSCs in vivo has hindered their clinical application. Hence, exploring effective methods to improve the engraftment and differentiation rates of BMSCs in vivo is urgent.

Pressure induced semimetal-to-metal transition and new structure of Ta2NiSe5 above 10GPa.

Previous studies of the transition metal chalcogenide Ta2NiSe5 has identified two phase transitions occurring between 0-10GPa, involving the excitonic insulator-to-semiconductor transition at 1GPa and the semiconductor-to-semimetal transition at 3GPa. However, there is still a lack of in-depth research on the changes in its physical properties changes above 10GPa. In this study, Ta2NiSe5 were investigated under high-pressure conditions using high-pressure X-ray diffraction and high-pressure X-ray absorption experiments.

Development of a Novel four-gene Model for Monitoring the Progression from Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease to Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Males.

The pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (MASLD-HCC) is complex and exhibits sex-specific differences. Effective methods for monitoring MASLD progression to HCC are lacking. Transcriptomic data from liver tissue samples sourced from multiple public databases were integrated.

Multicolored Bifacial Perovskite Solar Cells through Top Electrode Engineering.

Power generation and architectural beauty are equally important for designing efficient and esthetically appealing bifacial perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, efficient and multicolored p-i-n-structured PSCs are achieved by taking advantage of a dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD)-type (MoO/Ni/Ag/MoO) transparent counter electrode. The MoO/Ni underlayer effectively promotes the formation of a continuous and conductive ultrathin Ag transparent film, especially the 1 nm Ni seed layer adjusts the interface energy level between perovskite/MoO and Ag, resulting in Ohmic contact of the electrode to promote charge extraction and collection.
