Composition optimization, structural design, and introduction of external magnetic fields into the catalytic process can remarkably improve the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of a catalyst. NiFeO@(Ni, Fe)S/P materials with a heterogeneous core-shell structure were prepared by the sulfide/phosphorus method based on spinel-structured NiFeO nanomicrospheres. After the sulfide/phosphorus treatment, not only the intrinsic activity of the material and the active surface area were increased but also the charge transfer resistance was reduced due to the internal electric field.

Renewable electricity from splitting water to produce hydrogen is a favorable technology to achieve carbon neutrality, but slow anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics limits its large-scale commercialization. Electron spin polarization and increasing the reaction temperature are considered as potential ways to promote alkaline OER. Here, it is reported that in the alkaline OER process under an AC magnetic field, a ferromagnetic ordered electrocatalyst can simultaneously act as a heater and a spin polarizer to achieve significant OER enhancement at a low current density.

The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a seasonally breeding species and its reproductive system comprises paired symmetrical structures: testes, vasa deferentia, seminal vesicles, accessory glands and ejaculatory ducts. Histological examination of the testis of mature males reveals regression of the gonads and inhibition of the process of spermatogenesis during December to April of the following year, the regeneration of the gonads during June to July and the occurrence of the highest level of spermatogenesis during August to October. Microscopic assessments and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used to describe all spermatogenic stages (spermatogonia, primary and secondary spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoids).

The Cullin-RING finger ligases (CRLs) are involved in the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of cell cycle regulators and play an important role in gametogenesis. Cullin 4 (CUL4) is a conserved core component of a new class of ubiquitin E3 ligase, and participates in the proteolysis of several regulatory proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The mammals encode two paralogs of CUL4, CUL4A and CUL4B, and the two Cul4 genes are functionally redundant.
