Multiaxial fatigue failure of metals, a common issue in industrial production, often leads to significant losses. Recently, many researchers have applied deep learning methods to predict the multiaxial fatigue life of metals, achieving promising results. Due to the high costs of fatigue testing, training data for deep learning is scarce and labor-intensive to collect.

The phytochemicals responsible for these various proprieties, however, are not fully understood. Thus, in order to recognize metabolite diversity and variability in carnation flowers of different colors and to discover key metabolites that contribute to the differences in antioxidant and anticancer activities, widely targeted LC-MS/MS-based metabolomics analysis was conducted on purple, green, yellow, and white carnation flowers.

Recently, the scientific community has been greatly interested in exploiting the complex energy landscape of ori-kirigami structures to construct multistable systems and play their valuable role in different applications. Here, we present three-dimensional ori-kirigami structures based on generalized waterbomb units, a cylindrical ori-kirigami structure based on waterbomb units, and a conical ori-kirigami structure based on trapezoidal waterbomb units.

In the presence of an electrophilic fluorinating bystanding oxidant and fluorinated alcohols, a wide range of benzaldehydes and benzylic amines could be oxygenated selectively at the ortho positions to afford fluoroalkyl aryl ethers. This elegant approach would provide appealing strategies for synthesis of drug molecules and natural products.

Results: We report that Dianthus caryophyllus parallel spindle 1 (DcPS1) regulates omission of second division like a (OSDLa) during pollen development and 2n gamete production in carnation meiosis.
Background: N6-Methyladenosine (mA), which is a prevalent regulator of mRNA expression, has gathered increasing study interests. Though the role of mA as being important in many biological processes (such as growth and proliferation of cancers) has been well documented, its potential role in tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) has rarely been analyzed.
Methods: We downloaded RNA expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), and copy number variation (CNV) data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Objective: To investigate the effect of RITA on TP53 mutant human mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell line Mino and its possible mechanism.
Methods: Mino cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 and treated with RITA at a concentration of 0-16 μmol/L for 24,48,72 hours. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay.
In the present study, due to the complex and numerous targets of Sarcandrae Herb (also known as Zhong Jie Feng), network pharmacology was performed to analyze its therapeutic effect on 2 cervical cancer cell lines, which could assist with the development of novel therapies. The results suggested that the natural flavonoid quercetin (Que), the effective antitumor ingredient in SH, which is widely present in a variety of plants, may depend on the target, EGFR. Previous studies have shown that EGFR serves a crucial role in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer, but its downstream molecules and regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.
