The study of the adsorption characteristics of coal is of great significance to gas prevention and CO2 geological storage. To explore the adsorption mechanism of coal, this study focuses on columnar anthracite. Adsorption tests on coal rock under a range of physical field conditions were conducted using the volumetric method.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases globally. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the major effector cells of liver fibrosis. HSCs contain abundant lipid droplets (LDs) in their cytoplasm during quiescence.

Characterized by steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder. As a major lipid droplet-binding protein, Plin5 has been reported to have multiple effects on metabolism, but the effect of Plin5 deficiency on NAFLD is unknown. Plin5 knockout mice and wild-type mice were used to investigate the role of Plin5 in the progression of NAFLD by feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks.

Neuroblastoma (NBL) originating from the sympathetic nervous system is the most prevalent solid tumor in infancy. Although there is sufficient variability in prognosis among different age pyramids, age-related gene expression profiles and biomarkers remain poorly explored. The present study aimed to construct a signature based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two age groups in NBL.
