Article Synopsis
  • The study presents a new method for enhancing epoxy resin (EP) composites using a unique nanosheet, POM(Mo)-POSS(ibu-Li), which improves flame retardancy, toughness, and reduces dielectric constants simultaneously.
  • Incorporating just 2 wt % of these nanosheets into EP significantly boosts its flexural strength by 36.2% and impact strength by 78.2%, addressing the challenges faced by traditional flame retardants that often compromise material properties.
  • The new material also achieves notable reductions in heat release and smoke production rates during combustion, increasing the limiting oxygen index (LOI) from 24.0% to 30.2%, thus meeting stringent safety standards for electronic packaging applications.

Strategies based on nanomaterials for sterilization address the problem of antibiotic resistance faced by conventional antimicrobials, with the contribution of photocatalytic compounds being particularly prominent. Herein, to integrate multiple bactericidal techniques into a system for generating synergistic antibacterial effects, a novel photo-triggered AuAg@g-CN composite nanoplatform was constructed by anchoring AuAg on the surface of a g-CN layer. As the composite nanoplatform had a lower bandgap and superior visible light utilization efficiency, it could facilitate free electron transfer better and exhibit superior photocatalytic activity under light conditions.

The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) is the primary central station that integrates visceral afferent information and regulates respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and other physiological functions. Leptin receptor b (LepRb)-expressing neurons of the NTS (NTS neurons) are implicated in central respiration regulation, respiratory facilitation, and respiratory drive enhancement. Furthermore, LepRb dysfunction is involved in obesity, insulin resistance, and sleep-disordered breathing.

Article Synopsis
  • * Patients exhibited distinct clinical presentations, including recurrent pneumonia and hemorrhagic colitis, with the loss of the iRHOM2 protein impairing immune responses tied to cytokine release.
  • * Mouse models showed that the absence of iRHOM2 resulted in increased severity of infections like pneumonia and colitis, highlighting the impact of local gut bacteria on disease outcomes.

Sleep-disordered breathing is characterized by disruptions of normal breathing patterns during sleep. Obesity is closely related to hypoventilation or apnea and becomes a primary risk factor for sleep-disordered breathing. Leptin, a peptide secreted by adipose tissue, has been implicated in central control of breathing.

Plant exine capsules are natural microscale capsules that are highly physically robust and chemically resilient. They are extracted from pollen grains and plant spores, and can be used as renewable and safe microcapsules for encapsulation applications. Herein, we report the successful evacuation of natural sunflower pollen grains (SPGs) and Lycopodiastrum casuarinoides spore exine capsules (SECs) and investigated the effects of different loading methods on the encapsulation and release of nobiletin, a model hydrophobic nutraceutical.
