Increased ACSL6 Expression Predicts a Favorable Prognosis in Triple-negative Breast Cancer.

Background: Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthases (ACSLs) are responsible for the catalysis of fatty acids into their corresponding fatty acyl-CoAs. The dysregulation of ACSLs has been increasingly recognized in cancer patients. However, the function of ACSL6 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is still completely unknown.

Structural Isomers: Small Change with Big Difference in Anion Storage.

Organic electrode materials are promising for batteries. However, the reported organic electrodes are often facing the challenges of low specific capacity, low voltage, poor rate capability and vague charge storage mechanisms, etc. Isomers are good platform to investigate the charge storage mechanisms and enhance the performance of batteries, which, however, have not been focused in batteries.

Natural Pyranosyl Materials: Potential Applications in Solid-State Batteries.

Solid-state batteries have become one of the hottest research areas today, due to the use of solid-state electrolytes enabling the high safety and energy density. Because of the interaction with electrolyte salts and the abundant ion transport sites, natural polysaccharide polymers with rich functional groups such as -OH, -OR or -COO etc. have been applied in solid-state electrolytes and have the merits of possibly high ionic conductivity and sustainability.

WN/WC composite nanofibers as an efficient electrocatalyst for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution.

A tungsten-based electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction is vital for developing sustainable and clean energy sources. Herein, WN/WC composite nanofibers were synthesized through electrospinning technology and simultaneous carbonization and N-doping at high temperature. The composite nanofiber has higher catalytic activity than any simple compound.

One-step electrodeposition of AuNi nanodendrite arrays as photoelectrochemical biosensors for glucose and hydrogen peroxide detection.

A novel nonsemiconductor photoelectrochemical biosensor was first constructed using the unique plasmonic AuNi nanodendrite arrays. The AuNi nanodendrite arrays were rapidly prepared by a one-step electrodeposition method using the porous anodic aluminum templates. Owing to its hierarchical structure with abundant active sites, the synergistic catalytic of Au and Ni can be better exploited.
