The NaV(PO) (NVP) cathode holds the merit of a stable 3D NASICON structure for ultrafast Na diffusion, yet it is still confronted with poor electronic conductivity (10 S cm) and insufficient energy density (∼370 W h kg). Herein, a series of high-entropy-doped NaVZn(GaCrAlIn)(PO) ( = 0, 0.2, 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Heat stress significantly threatens grain yields, and the protein TT1 is crucial for rice's heat tolerance by regulating the 26S proteasome.
  • This study identifies SCE1, a SUMO-conjugating enzyme that interacts with TT1, as a negative regulator of heat tolerance, affecting sHSPs through ubiquitination.
  • Reducing SCE1 levels improves rice grain yield under heat stress by enhancing seed-setting rates and grain filling, indicating the TT1-SCE1 pathway's potential for enhancing crop heat tolerance.

Vanadium-based metallic salts, characterized by their intrinsic low electronic conductivity, are impeding their advancement as anode materials in the realm of lithium-ion battery technology. This study presents a novel embedded anode material KVO/NC (KVO/NC) synthesized via a sol-gel method, with KVO (KVO) particles in situ growing on N-doped carbon, thereby ameliorating conductivity and electrochemical performance. The findings reveal that KVO/NC composite has three lithium-ion storage sites, ultra-high cycling stability (289 mA h/g@5000 cycles@10 C@100 %), and superior rate performance (249 mA h/g@15 C; 221 mA h/g@20 C).

Background: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a low-flow, bleeding-prone vascular disease that can cause cerebral hemorrhage, seizure and neurological deficits. Its inheritance mode includes sporadic or autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance, namely sporadic CCM (SCCM) and familial CCM. SCCM is featured by single lesion and single affection in a family.

With the merits of the high energy density of batteries and power density of supercapacitors, the aqueous Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors emerge as a promising candidate for applications where both rapid energy delivery and moderate energy storage are required. However, the narrow electrochemical window of aqueous electrolytes induces severe side reactions on the Zn metal anode and shortens its lifespan. It also limits the operation voltage and energy density of the Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors.

Due to the limitation of the high-value-added products obtained from electrocatalytic CO reduction within an acid environment, introducing additional elements can expand the diversity of the products obtained during the CO reduction reaction (CORR) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). Thus, coelectroreduction of CO and N is a new strategy for producing acetamide (CHCONH) via both C-C and C-N bond coupling using Cu-based nitrogen-carbon nanosheets. CO can reduce to CO, and a key ketene (*C═C═O) can be generated from *CO*CO dimerization; this ketene is postulated as an intermediate in the formation of acetamide.

Objectives: We aimed to prospectively investigate the benefit of using augmented reality (AR) for surgery residents learning aneurysm surgery.

Materials And Methods: Eight residents were included, and divided into an AR group and a control group (4 in each group). Both groups were asked to locate an aneurysm with a blue circle on the same screenshot after their viewing of surgery videos from both AR and non-AR tests.

Postzygotic reproductive isolation, which results in the irreversible divergence of species, is commonly accompanied by hybrid sterility, necrosis/weakness, or lethality in the F or other offspring generations. Here we show that the loss of function of HWS1 and HWS2, a couple of duplicated paralogs, together confer complete interspecific incompatibility between Asian and African rice. Both of these non-Mendelian determinants encode the putative Esa1-associated factor 6 (EAF6) protein, which functions as a characteristic subunit of the histone H4 acetyltransferase complex regulating transcriptional activation via genome-wide histone modification.

Background: Experience using flow diverter devices (FDDs) to treat proximal (M1) middle cerebral artery aneurysms associated with the lenticulostriate artery (M1A-LA) remains limited. This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of an FDD to manage M1A-LA.

Method: Patients with M1A-LA who received FDD treatment at a single center were included in the analysis.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have garnered increasingly growing attention in renewable energy scenarios, especially in electrocatalysis due to their unique high efficiency of atom utilization and flexible electronic structure adjustability. The intensive efforts towards the rational design and synthesis of SACs with versatile local configurations have significantly accelerated the development of efficient and sustainable electrocatalysts for a wide range of electrochemical applications. As an emergent coordination avenue, intentionally breaking the planar symmetry of SACs by adding ligands in the axial direction of metal single atoms offers a novel approach for the tuning of both geometric and electronic structures, thereby enhancing electrocatalytic performance at active sites.

Article Synopsis
  • Reprogramming of metabolic genes and changes in metabolic traits are common in cancers like glioblastoma (GBM), with FOXM1 playing a key role as a transcription factor that influences various genes.
  • SET7 is a protein that modifies other proteins through methylation, impacting gene expression and tumor development by altering histones.
  • The study suggests that FOXM1 directly enhances the transcription of SET7, which subsequently activates a pathway (SET7-H3K4me1-FASN) that sustains fatty acid synthesis, a characteristic of cancer cells.

Nuisance bleeding (NB) without urgent medical attention is rarely characterized despite its frequent occurrence in patients with cerebral aneurysms undergoing flow diversion (FD) who are maintained on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). This study explored the risk factors for NB. Patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms who underwent intervention using FD (July 2018 to May 2022) and had follow-up data were enrolled.

  • Rice plants have a structure called panicles that affects how many grains they produce, which is important for farming yields.
  • Scientists found that certain small proteins (called OsEPFL proteins) help shape these panicles by interacting with a receptor named OsER1.
  • By changing the levels of these proteins, researchers can boost rice yield while keeping the grains healthy, helping farmers grow more food.

Two-dimensional (2D) material-based van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures with exotic semiconducting properties have shown tremendous potential in next-generation photovoltaic photodetectors. Nevertheless, these vdW heterostructure devices inevitably suffer from a compromise between high sensitivity and fast response. Herein, an ingenious photovoltaic photodetector based on a WSe/WS/p-Si dual-vdW heterojunction is demonstrated.

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B15 (UGT2B15) is a crucial phase II drug-metabolizing enzyme, which glucuronidates various compounds, including clinical drugs and hormones. Mutants might affect glucuronidation, leading to a disruption of drug metabolism in vivo and decrease of therapeutic effect. Here, we mainly analyzed two representative mutants, H401P and L446S, on UGT2B15 activity using glucuronidation assays, molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and X-ray diffraction methods.

Article Synopsis
  • Ongoing soil salinization is a major threat to global crop production, particularly for rice, making it essential to improve salt tolerance using natural genetic variation.
  • A new quantitative trait locus named Salt Tolerance and Heading Date 1 (STH1) was identified in the African rice species Oryza glaberrima, which enhances salt tolerance by regulating fatty acid metabolism and interacting with other proteins involved in stress response.
  • The STH1 allele linked to better salt tolerance and higher yields is common in African rice but rare in Asian varieties, suggesting that incorporating this allele into modern cultivars could improve irrigation resilience and crop yields under saline conditions.
