Electronic asymmetry of lattice oxygen sites in ZnO promotes the photocatalytic oxidative coupling of methane.

Photocatalytic oxidative coupling of methane with oxygen is promising to obtain valuable muti-carbon products, yet suffering low reactivity. Here, we apply cerium modifications on zinc oxide-supported gold catalysts based on the electronic asymmetry design of lattice oxygen to improve the coupling activity. The methane conversion rate exceeds 16000 μmol g h with muti-carbon selectivity of 94.

Heterojunction of Y-substituted NaV(PO)-NaYO accelerating kinetics with superior performance for full sodium-ion batteries.

The inherent poor ionic and electronic conductivity and relatively low capacity seriously limit the development of NaV(PO) (NVP). Currently, Y substitution is proposed for the first time and corresponding Y-doped NVP samples are successfully synthesized by traditional solid phase method. By replacing V (0.

A mobile miR160-triggered transcriptional axis controls root stem cell niche maintenance and regeneration in Arabidopsis.

In multicellular organisms, communication between cells is vital for their fate determination. In plants, the quiescent center (QC) signals to adjacent stem cells to maintain them undifferentiated. However, how surrounding stem cells instruct the QC remains poorly understood.

BES-Designer: A Web Tool to Design Guide RNAs for Base Editing to Simplify Library.

CRISPR/Cas base editors offer precise conversion of single nucleotides without inducing double-strand breaks. This technology finds extensive applications in gene therapy, gene function analysis, and other domains. However, a crucial challenge lies in selecting the appropriate guide RNAs (gRNAs) for base editing.

Wuzi Yanzong decoction (WZYZD) belongs to the traditional formula for treating male infertility caused by oligoasthenozoospermia (OLI). This research aims to elucidate the therapeutic substance basis and potential pharmacological mechanisms of WZYZD in treating OLI. A total of 52 chemical ingredients were identified from WZYZD.

RADD: A real-time FRET-based biochemical assay for DNA deaminase studies.

In recent years, the connection between APOBEC3 cytosine deaminases and cancer mutagenesis has become ever more apparent. This growing awareness and lack of inhibitory drugs has created a distinct need for biochemical tools that can be used to identify and characterize potential inhibitors of this family of enzymes. In response to this challenge, we have developed a Real-time APOBEC3-mediated DNA Deamination (RADD) assay.

The Efficacy and Safety of the Rhomboid Intercostal Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Chest Surgery and Breast Surgery: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Prior research has suggested that the rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) may contribute to postoperative analgesia after surgeries of the chest and breast.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness and safety of RIB for postoperative analgesia, as well as whether RIB is superior to other types of nerve blocks.

Study Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mapping the research of mitochondria and Parkinson's disease: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the elderly. Relevant studies suggest a significant connection between the mitochondria and PD. Publications exploring this connection have steadily increased in recent years.

Hepatocyte-derived Fetuin-A promotes alcohol-associated liver disease in mice by inhibiting autophagy-lysosome degradation of TLR and M2 macrophage polarization.

Background: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. Fetuin-A (FetA) is a plasma glycoprotein closely related to fat accumulation in the liver. However, the role of FetA in ALD remains unclear.

Hydroborative Depolymerization of Polyesters and Polycarbonates to Diols Catalyzed by Heterogeneous Lanthanum Materials La(CHCHNMe-)@SBA-15.

Chemical recycling is a promising strategy to establish a circular plastic economy, and it is still in an early stage of development. In this work, the reductive depolymerization of polyesters and polycarbonates into their corresponding borylated alcohols promoted by heterogeneous lanthanum materials was described. Grafting the easily accessible lanthanum tris(aminobenzyl) complex La(CHCHNMe-) () onto the partially dehydroxylated silica support SBA-15 (SBA-15 or SBA-15) gave the inorganic-organic hybrid materials @SBA-15 and @SBA-15.

Immune cell-mediated features of atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by innate and adaptive immune responses, which seriously threatens human life and health. It is a primary cause of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease. Research has demonstrated that immune cells are fundamental to the development of atherosclerosis and chronic inflammation.

Language, 6-mercaptopurine adherence, and relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Hispanic children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have lower 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) adherence and greater hazard of relapse compared with non-Hispanic White children. We examined the association between Spanish language and 6MP adherence, and hazard of relapse. 6MP adherence was measured electronically over a 6-month period.

Antimetabolite dose intensity and adverse outcomes in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a COG-AALL03N1 report.

The association between antimetabolite dose intensity (DI) and adverse events among children receiving maintenance therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains unclear, especially in the context of antimetabolite adherence. Using Children's Oncology Group AALL03N1 data, we examined the association between high DI during the first 4 study months and (i) treatment-related toxicities during the subsequent 2 study months; and (ii) relapse risk. Patients were classified into a high DI phenotype (either 6-mercaptopurine [6-MP] or methotrexate [MTX] DI ≥110% during the first 4 study months, or 6-MPDI or MTXDI 100%-110% at study enrollment and ≥25% increase over the 4 study months) and normal DI phenotype (all others).

SARS-CoV-2 M inhibitor identification using a cellular gain-of-signal assay for high-throughput screening.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2, SARS2) is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic and infections that continue to affect the lives of millions of people worldwide, especially those who are older and/or immunocompromised. The SARS2 main protease enzyme, M (also called 3C-like protease, 3CL), is a bona fide drug target as evidenced by potent inhibition with nirmatrelvir and ensitrelvir, the active components of the drugs Paxlovid and Xocova, respectively. However, the existence of nirmatrelvir and ensitrelvir-resistant isolates underscores the need to develop next-generation drugs with different resistance profiles and/or distinct mechanisms of action.

Sex-Based Differences in Risk of Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms.

Purpose: Therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (t-MN) is a life-threatening complication of autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Previous studies report an association between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in PBSC and risk of t-MN, but small samples precluded examination of risk within specific subpopulations.

Methods: Targeted DNA sequencing was performed to identify CH mutations in PBSC from a retrospective cohort of 984 patients with NHL (median age at transplant, 57 years; range, 18-78).
