Bisphosphonate-mineralized nano-IFNγ suppresses residual tumor growth caused by incomplete radiofrequency ablation through metabolically remodeling tumor-associated macrophages.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), as a minimally invasive surgery strategy based on local thermal-killing effect, is widely used in the clinical treatment of multiple solid tumors. Nevertheless, RFA cannot achieve the complete elimination of tumor lesions with larger burden or proximity to blood vessels. Incomplete RFA (iRFA) has even been validated to promote residual tumor growth due to the suppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

Chemical modulation and defect engineering in high-performance GeTe-based thermoelectrics.

Thermoelectric technology plays an important role in developing sustainable clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, offering new opportunities to alleviate current energy and environmental crises. Nowadays, GeTe has emerged as a highly promising thermoelectric candidate for mid-temperature applications, due to its remarkable thermoelectric figure of merit () of 2.7.

The complete chloroplast genome of Hemsl. 1889 (Ericaceae).

Hemsl. 1889 is an endemic deciduous shrub in China, belonging to the family Ericaceae. In this study, the first complete chloroplast genome of was assembled and annotated.

The impact of tamoxifen on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) levels: an updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: The existing evidence regarding the impact of tamoxifen on lipoprotein(a) and apolipoproteins remains inconsistent. Therefore, this updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aims to enhance the quality of evidence concerning the effects of tamoxifen on these lipid parameters.

Methods: Eligible RCTs published up to October 2024 were meticulously selected through a comprehensive search.

Exploring lipidome mediated inflammatory pathways in acute pancreatitis using mendelian randomization.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe gastrointestinal condition with an increasing incidence of hyperlipidemic etiology. The investigation employed a two-sample, bidirectional Mendelian randomization method to investigate potential causal relationship between lipidome profiles, inflammatory mediators, and AP. Exploration of genetic variants across the genome in a study population of 10,630 AP cases and 844,679 non-AP individuals revealed multiple lipidome entities significantly associated with AP risk.
