The role of oxidative stress-mediated fibro-adipogenic progenitor senescence in skeletal muscle regeneration and repair.

Background: Stem cells play a pivotal role in tissue regeneration and repair. Skeletal muscle comprises two main stem cells: muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). FAPs are essential for maintaining the regenerative milieu of muscle tissue and modulating the activation of muscle satellite cells.

Causes and preventive measures for fire-related injuries in intensive care units: a systematic review.

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) fires are a significant public health concern which often receives insufficient attention. However, they notoriously challenging to manage, with a high risk of casualties and substantial economic damage. Despite their severity, research on ICU fires remains scarce.

Anomalous Structural Transformation of Cu(I) Clusters into Multifunctional CuAg Nanoclusters.

We report an anomalous structural transformation of a Cu(I) cluster into two different types of copper-silver (CuAg) alloy nanoclusters. Different from previous reports, we demonstrate that under specifically designed reaction conditions, the Ag-doping could induce a substantial growth of the starting Cu and a AgCu nanocluster was obtained via the unexpected insertion of an Ag kernel inside the Cu(I)-S shell. AgCu demonstrates high activity to initiate the photopolymerization of previously hard-to-print inorganic polymers in 3D laser microprinting.

Functional study of a rare L1CAM gene c.1759G>C variant prove its pathogenicity.

L1 syndrome, a neurological disorder with an X-linked inheritance pattern, mainly results from mutations occurring in the L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) gene. The L1CAM molecule, belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily of neurocyte adhesion molecules, plays a pivotal role in facilitating intercellular signal transmission across membranes and is indispensable for proper neuronal development and function. This study identified a rare missense variant (c.

A prospective cohort study of exposure to household pesticide with cardiovascular diseases mortality in older adults.

Objectives: We examined the associations of self-reported exposures, and urinary metabolites related to household pesticide with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in older adults based on the 2007 to 2014 waves of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods: Information on application and urinary metabolites related to household pesticide exposure were collected. We estimated the risks of household pesticide exposure, urinary metabolites with subsequent incident CVD death using Cox proportional hazards regression models.

Plant and soil responses to tillage practices change arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi populations during crop growth.

Background: Tillage practices can substantially affect soil properties depending on crop stage. The interaction between tillage and crop growth on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities remains unclear. We investigated the interactions between four tillage treatments (CT: conventional tillage, RT: reduced tillage, NT: no tillage with mulch, and SS: subsoiling with mulch), maintained for 25 years, and two wheat growth stages (elongation stage and grain filling stage) on AMF diversity and community composition.

Mechanical Performance of Copper-Nanocluster-Polymer Nanolattices.

A type of copper-nanocluster-polymer composites is reported and showcased that their 3D nanolattices exhibit a superior combination of high strength, toughness, deformability, resilience, and damage-tolerance. Notably, the strength and toughness of ultralight copper-nanocluster-polymer nanolattices in some cases surpass current best performers, including alumina, nickel, and other ceramic or metallic lattices at low densities. Additionally, copper-nanocluster-polymer nanolattices are super-resilient, crack-resistant, and one-step printed under ambient condition which can be easily integrated into sophisticated microsystems as highly effective internal protectors.

Dual-controlled guest release from coordination cages.

Despite having significant applications in the construction of controlled delivery systems with high anti-interference capability, to our knowledge dual-controlled molecular release has not yet been achieved based on small molecular/supramolecular entities. Herein, we report a dual-controlled release system based on coordination cages, for which releasing the guest from the cage demands synchronously altering the coordinative metal cations and the solvent. The cages, HgL and AgL, are constructed via coordination-driven self-assembly of a corannulene-based ligand.

Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Combined with Lateral Flow Dipstick Assay for the Rapid and Sensitive Detection of .

The harmful algal bloom (HAB) species is widely distributed worldwide and is known to produce the neurotoxin domoic acid, which harms marine wildlife and humans. Early detection and preventative measures are more critical than late management. However, the major challenge related to early detection is the accurate and sensitive detection of microalgae present in low abundance.

Multi-Functionalization of Single crystals Mediated by Gel-Incorporation: A Bioinspired Strategy.

Biominerals are inherently organic-inorganic crystal composites. Drawing inspiration from this biomineral structure, functionalized single crystals can be synthesized using the gel-grown method, resulting in the incorporation of gel-networks into the host crystals. By incorporating gel-networks, diverse guest materials, such as nanoparticles and dye molecules, can be uniformly and isotropically distributed within the crystals, thereby imparting non-intrinsic optical or magnetic properties to the host crystals.

Special NaBH hydrolysis achieving multiple-surface-modifications promotes the high-throughput water oxidation of CoN nanowire arrays.

Designing an excellent OER catalyst in an alkaline environment is severe yet essential for industrial H application under the electrochemical technique. This study has achieved multiple modifications on CoN nanowires, the classic OER catalyst, a facile room-temperature NaBH spontaneous hydrolysis. This facile process simultaneously generates oxygen vacancies and robust BN species.

Adding siderophores: A new strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in composting.

Microbial community is the primary driver causing the greenhouse gas emissions in composting. Thus, regulating the microbial communities is a strategy to reduce them. Here, two different siderophores (enterobactin and putrebactin) were added, which could bind and translocate iron by specific microbes, to regulate the composting communities.

Aromatic C-C Bond Cleavage in a Curved π-System of Aminocorannulene.

We report a metal- and oxidant-free aromatic C-C bond cleavage in the curved corannulene skeleton. Reaction of 1-aminocorannulene with hydrazonyl chloride generates an amidrazone intermediate that undergoes facile intramolecular proton migrations and ring annulation to give a 1,2,4-triazole derivative of planar benzo[]fluoranthene, in which the release of strain associated with the curved π-surface and the formation of an aromatic triazole moiety are the driving forces. This report provides new insights into the aromatic C-C bond cleavage.

Morphological Evolution of Calcite Grown in Zwitterionic Hydrogels: Charge Effects Enhanced by Gel-Incorporation.

The incorporation of charged biomacromolecules is widely found in biomineralization. To investigate the significance of this biological strategy for mineralization control, gelatin-incorporated calcite crystals grown from gelatin hydrogels with different charge concentrations along the gel networks are examined. It is found that the bound charged groups on gelatin networks (amino cations, gelatin-NH and carboxylic anions, gelatin-COO ) play crucial roles in controlling the single-crystallinity and the crystal morphology.

Stable Lithium Anode of Li-O Batteries in a Wet Electrolyte Enabled by a High-Current Treatment.

Rechargeable Li-air (O) batteries have attracted a great deal of attention because of their high theoretical energy density and been regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage technology. Among numerous obstacles to Li-air (O) batteries preventing their use in practical applications, water is a representative impurity for Li-air (O), which could hasten the deterioration of the anode and accelarate the premature death of cells. Here, we report an effective in situ high-current pretreatment process to enhance the cycling performance of Li-O batteries in a wet tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether-based electrolyte.
