Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are widely regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage technology due to their exceptional theoretical capacity and energy density. However, their commercialization has been hindered by challenges such as the polysulfide shuttle effect and poor reaction kinetics, which limit efficiency and cycle life. This review delves into the critical aspects of LSB technology, beginning with an overview of the fundamental mechanisms and challenges.

Bacteria employ two-component systems (TCSs) to rapidly sense and respond to their surroundings often and during plant infection. Poplar canker caused by Lonsdalea populi is an emerging woody bacterial disease that leads to high mortality and poplar plantation losses in China. Nonetheless, the information about the underlying mechanism of pathogenesis remains scarce.

Article Synopsis
  • Organic electrode materials, like 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHBQ), are attractive for lithium-ion batteries due to advantages such as lower cost and environmental benefits, but DHBQ's high solubility causes capacity loss.
  • Researchers examined the dilithium salt of DHBQ (LiDHBQ) as a cathode material, which showed minimal solubility but still experienced rapid capacity decay due to morphological damage when cycled in the traditional voltage range of 1.5-3.0 V.
  • By lowering the discharge cutoff voltage to 0.5 V, they successfully formed a protective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, significantly enhancing stability and overall capacity retention

Poplar Cytospora canker, caused by , is one of the most destructive and widespread poplar diseases worldwide, especially in northern China. However, our current understanding of its pathogenic mechanisms remains limited. Here, we showed that trehalose biosynthetic genes, such as trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1 (Tps1), trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (Tps2), and the regulatory subunit (Tps3), play important roles in the development and virulence of .

Article Synopsis
  • Gerberae Piloselloidis Herba (GPH) has been shown to effectively treat allergic asthma, with specific components—luteolin, arbutin, and marmesin—demonstrating significant therapeutic potential, though their exact mechanism remains unclear.
  • In a study using an allergic asthma mouse model, treatment with the active component mixture and GPH resulted in decreased asthma symptoms, reduced inflammatory cell counts, and lower cytokine levels, alongside improvements in lung tissue health.
  • The mixture exhibited effects similar to dexamethasone and suppressed the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, indicating its potential in modulating apoptotic processes in lung tissue, thereby alleviating allergic asthma symptoms.

Current research strives to create sustainable and ecofriendly organic electrode materials (OEMs) due to the rising concerns about traditional inorganic electrode materials that call for substantial resource consumption in battery manufacturing. However, OEMs often exhibit unbalanced performance, with high capacity conflicting with a long lifespan. Herein, a 2D fully conjugated covalent organic framework featuring abundant C═O and C═N groups (HTPT-COF) was strategically synthesized by coupling 2,3,7,8-tetraamino-1,4,6,9-tetraketone with hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate.

Two-dimension graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with high and low serum protein binding profiles (high/low hard-bound protein corona/HC) are used in this study as model materials and screening tools to investigate the underlying roles of the protein corona on nanomaterial toxicities . We proposed that the biocompatibility/nanotoxicity of GO is protein corona-dependent and host immunity-dependent. The hypothesis was tested by injecting HC GO nanosheets in immunocompetent ICR/CD1 and immunodeficient NOD- mice and performed histopathological and hematological evaluation studies on days 1 and 14 post-injection.

Based on UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap HRMS coupled with the network pharmacology and molecular docking, the common material basis and molecular mechanisms of Bletillae Rhizoma for melasma, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, lung cancer and bronchoplumonary inflammation as "homotherapy for heteropathy" were explored. The fingerprint of 17 batches of Bletillae Rhizoma from different areas was established using HPLC, and the similarity analysis was carried out. The common chemical components of the 17 batches of Bletillae Rhizoma were identified using UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap HRMS.

Article Synopsis
  • Verticillium wilt, caused by a soil fungus, threatens over 200 plant species, and understanding how soil microbiota affects plant resistance is essential, especially for perennial trees.
  • A study focused on smoke trees found that the Bacillus genus of bacteria is crucial for suppressing the disease and promoting plant growth, as they helped increase resistance when used in soil.
  • Combining Bacillus with a fungicide created a promising strategy for controlling Verticillium wilt, paving the way for environmentally friendly disease management practices.

  • Previous research demonstrated that brucine dissolving-microneedles (Bru-DMNs) effectively treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) while addressing issues common with oral and systemic drug delivery.
  • This study developed a novel method for continuous sampling and analysis of drug distribution in RA rats, revealing that Bru-DMNs achieve better retention in joint cavities than in blood.
  • The findings highlight a complex PK-PD relationship for Bru against RA, offering insights into how transdermal drugs may work and their potential side effects.

Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is prominently expressed in various epithelial tumors. PD0721, a single-chain antibody (scFv), has been developed to specifically target EGFRvIII. Although doxorubicin (DOX) is an essential treatment approach for glioblastoma (GBM), its toxic effects and limited targeting capabilities are a challenge.

Conjugated polymers with tailorable composition and microarchitecture are propitious for modulating catalytic properties and deciphering inherent structure-performance relationships. Herein, we report a facile linker engineering strategy to manipulate the electronic states of metallophthalocyanine conjugated polymers and uncover the vital role of organic linkers in facilitating electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Specifically, a set of cobalt phthalocyanine conjugated polymers (CoPc-CPs) wrapped onto carbon nanotubes (denoted CNTs@CoPc-CPs) are judiciously crafted via in situ assembling square-planar cobalt tetraaminophthalocyanine (CoPc(NH)) with different linear aromatic dialdehyde-based organic linkers in the presence of CNTs.

Cyano-containing electrodes usually promise high theoretical potentials while suffering from uncontrollable self-dissolution and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, to remedy their limitations, an unprecedented core-shell heterostructured electrode of carbon nanotubes encapsulated in poly(1,4-dicyanoperfluorobenzene sulfide) (CNT@PFDCB) is rationally crafted via molecule and microstructure modulations. Specifically, the linkage of sulfide bridges of PFDCB prevents the active cyano groups from dissolving, resulting in a robust structure.

Psoralen and isopsoralen are the major components responsible for Psoraleae Fructus-induced hepatotoxicity. This study explored the role of metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in psoralen- and isopsoralen-induced cytotoxicity and its potential mechanisms. Inhibitors of CYP1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4 were used to screen specific CYP enzymes responsible for the metabolic activation of psoralen and isopsoralen in mouse primary hepatocytes, which was verified using the corresponding transfected cell lines.
