Biomimetic heat-localized and solar absorption-enhanced hollow structural nanofibrous membrane for clean water production from saline water and dye wastewater.

The rational design of material structures can be an effective approach to enhance the performance of solar-driven clean water production. In this study, a hollow structural nanofibrous membrane was developed by mimicking the hollow structure of polar bear hair using coaxial electrospinning. The shell layer consisted of carbon nanoparticles (C NPs) decorated CuO nanosheets (C@CuO), that exhibited photothermal conversion capacity.

Root-knot nematodes exploit the catalase-like effector to manipulate plant reactive oxygen species levels by directly degrading HO.

Plants produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon infection, which typically trigger defence mechanisms and impede pathogen proliferation. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) represent highly detrimental pathogens capable of parasitizing a broad spectrum of crops, resulting in substantial annual agricultural losses.

Comparative Genomics Unveils Functional Diversity, Pangenome Openness, and Underlying Biological Drivers among Group.

The group (Bs group), with as its core species, holds significant research and economic value in various fields, including science, industrial production, food, and pharmaceuticals. However, most studies have been confined to comparative genomics analyses and exploration within individual genomes at the level of species, with few conducted within groups across different species. This study focused on , the model of Gram-positive bacteria, and 14 other species with significant research value, employing comparative pangenomics as well as population enrichment analysis to ascertain the functional enrichment and diversity.

A systematic evidence map of the association between cannabis use and psychosis-related outcomes across the psychosis continuum: An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

While the legal status and public perception of cannabis are currently changing in many countries, one of the important considerations from a public health viewpoint is its potential association with adverse health outcomes such as the development of psychosis. We conducted an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses using the AMSTAR-2 to assess the quality of included reviews. We further created an evidence map to visualize and facilitate the overview of the published evidence synthesis on the association between cannabis use and all psychosis-related outcomes and risk moderators in healthy, high-risk, and clinical populations.

Natural down fiber-reinforced and polypyrrole-modified silk fibroin composite aerogel for efficient solar steam generation toward seawater desalination and wastewater treatment.

Poor mechanical properties and low photothermal efficiency of silk fibroin (SF)-based aerogels are current challenges that need to be addressed. Herein, SF composite aerogel was developed to enhance the mechanical properties through physical interpenetration of natural down fiber (Df) and hydrogen bonds formed among SF, Df, and polypyrrole (PPy) and to improve the evaporation performance via in-situ polymerization of PPy. The resultant Df/PPy@SF aerogel showed significant improvement of compressive stress (194.

Antigenicity and adjuvanticity co-reinforced personalized cell vaccines based on self-adjuvanted hydrogel for post-surgical cancer vaccination.

Cancer vaccine-based postsurgical immunotherapy is emerging as a promising approach in patients following surgical resection for inhibition of tumor recurrence. However, low immunogenicity and insufficient cancer antigens limit the widespread application of postoperative cancer vaccines. Here, we propose a "trash to treasure" cancer vaccine strategy to enhance postsurgical personalized immunotherapy, in which antigenicity and adjuvanticity of purified surgically exfoliated autologous tumors (with whole antigen repertoire) were co-reinforced.

Metformin ameliorates 5-fluorouracil-induced intestinalinjury by inhibiting cellular senescence, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu), which inhibits metabolism, isanessentialpartof the first-line treatment of colorectal cancer but causes severe side effects, including nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and gastrointestinal injury with severe diarrhea, and requires dose reduction or treatment deferral, resulting in a poor prognosis. Metformin has anti-inflammatory effects, but its role in the mechanism of treatment in intestinal injury caused by 5-Fu remains unclear. In our present research, we assessed the impact of metformin on damagetotheintestinefrom5-Fuby inhibiting cellular senescence, intestinalcanal inflammation, and oxidative stress by using HUVECs, HIECs, and male BALB/c mice.

Belinostat (PXD101) resists UVB irradiation-induced cellular senescence and skin photoaging.

Belinostat (PXD101), a new histone deacetylase inhibitor, has shown good performance in various cancer treatments and has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of recurrent or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in patients with drugs. PXD101 is considered to have certain anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties, but its beneficial effects in UVB-induced skin photoaging have not been reported. In a recent study, HacaT cells and C57BL6 mice were used to study the impact of PXD101 on UVB-induced cellular senescence and skin photoaging and to explore their potential mechanisms of action.

Trifluridine induces HUVECs senescence by inhibiting mTOR-dependent autophagy.

Trifluridine, a key component of trifluridine/tipiracil, is a potential anti-cancer drug that can act effectively on refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Chemotherapy is important for cancer treatment, but its adverse effects limit its use. Long-term side-effects caused by the drug used during chemotherapy are closely related to the accumulation of cellular senescence.

Somatic symptom disorder in the context of Chinese yin-yang culture: A case report and literature review.

Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is a somatic disorder characterized by excessive anxiety over various somatic symptoms for a long time, which makes patients feel very painful and the quality of personal life significantly decreased. Previous studies have shown that there is a connection between the clinical manifestations of SSD patients and their cultural background. The patient in this case report was highly affected by Chinese yin-yang culture, displaying obvious Chinese characteristics.

Primary chondrocyte exosomes mediate osteoarthritis progression by regulating mitochondrion and immune reactivity.

We aimed to investigate the proteomics of primary chondrocyte exosomes and the effect of exosomes in osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. We isolated exosomes from primary chondrocytes cultured in normal (D0) and inflammatory environments induced by IL-1β and determined the proteomics of these exosomes. Next, we investigated what effect and mechanism D0 chondrocytes exosomes have in OA treatment.

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes ameliorate intervertebral disc degeneration via anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Excessive oxidative stress and inflammation are the key early events in the development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). The NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been identified as the major source of oxidative stress and the inflammatory responses and thus is an attractive therapeutic target for IVDD. However, currently, there are no reports on the use of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes to reduce NLRP3 inflammasome expression for IVDD treatment.
