Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths and poses a treatment challenge. Although studies have shown the importance of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metabolic reprogramming during cancer metastasis, the link between EMT and metabolic reprogramming, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms by which both mediate cancer cell invasion and metastasis have not been elucidated. Here, we observed that interactions between platelets and cancer cells promote the secretion of TGF-β, thereby initiating EMT, promoting the invasion, and altering the metastatic and metabolic potential of colon cancer cells.

Context: To address the severe fuel crisis and environmental pollution, the use of lightweight metal materials, such as AZ alloy, represents an optimal solution. This study investigates the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanism of AZ alloys under uniaxial compressive using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The influence of various compositions, grain sizes (GSs), and temperatures on the compressive stress, the ultimate compressive strength (UCS), compressive yield stress (CYS), Young's modulus (E), shear strain, phase transformation, dislocation distribution, and total deformation length is thoroughly examined.

Nitroaromatics, as an important member and source of nitrogen-containing aromatics, is bringing enormous economic benefits in fields of pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, functional materials, fertilizers, and explosives. Nonetheless, the notoriously polluting nitration industry, which suffers from excessive discharge of fumes and waste acids, poor functional group tolerance, and tremendous purification difficulty, renders mild, efficient, and environmentally friendly nitration a formidable challenge. Herein, we develop a visible-light-driven biocompatible arene C-H nitration strategy with good efficiency and regioselectivity, marvelous substrate applicability and functional group tolerance, and wide application in scale-up synthesis, total synthesis, and late-stage functionalization.

The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in agricultural soils has garnered significant attention. However, the long-term impacts of various nitroge (N)-substitution fertilization regimes on the distribution of soil ARGs and their dominant drivers in a subtropical triple-cropping system remain largely unexplored. This study employed a metagenomic approach to analyze soil ARGs, microbial communities, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and viruses from a maize-maize-cabbage rotation field experiment with five different fertilization regimes.

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a kind of metabolic bone disease in fast-growing broilers, which seriously restricts the development of poultry industry. Our previous studies have revealed a significant upregulation of miR-205a in TD cartilage tissue, suggesting its potential role as a regulatory factor in the pathogenesis of TD. However, the precise function implications and underlying regulatory mechanism remain elusive.

Tongue cancer at a young age demonstrates an increase in incidence, aggressiveness, and poor response to therapy. Classic etiological factors for head and neck tumors such as tobacco, alcohol, and human papillomavirus are not related to early-onset tongue cancer. Mechanisms of development and progression of this cancer remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • Phage therapy might help get rid of bacterial wilt in plants, but we don’t know enough about how phages work with other chemicals.
  • A new type of phage called LPRS20 was studied, and it can kill bacteria that hurt plants like tobacco and tomatoes without harming the plants too much.
  • Combining phage LPRS20 with certain chemicals showed good results and could help farmers control bad bacteria in the soil more safely.

The unauthorized replication and distribution of digital images pose significant challenges to copyright protection. While existing solutions incorporate blockchain-based techniques such as perceptual hashing and digital watermarking, they lack large-scale experimental validation and a dedicated blockchain consensus protocol for image copyright management. This paper introduces DRPChain, a novel digital image copyright management system that addresses these issues.

Liquid biopsies utilizing tumor exosomes offer a noninvasive approach for cancer diagnosis. However, validation studies consistently report that in the early stages of cancer, the secretion of exosomes by cancer cells is relatively low, while bodily fluids exhibit a high abundance of other interfering biomolecules. Additionally, target mutations or differences in biomarker expression among various lung cancer subtypes may contribute to detection failures.

Distant metastasis is a major cause of treatment failure in cancer patients and a key challenge to improving cancer care today. We hypothesized that enhancing anti-cancer immune response and inhibiting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) adhesion and transendothelial migration through synergistic multi-target approaches may effectively prevent cancer metastasis. "Fuyuan Decoction" (FYD) is a traditional Chinese medicine compound that is widely used to prevent postoperative metastasis in cancer patients, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear.

  • Biochar is commonly believed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in vegetable production, but its effectiveness is influenced by various factors, particularly nitrogen (N) application rates.
  • A recent meta-analysis indicated that biochar significantly reduces emissions of nitrogen oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH) when used in low N conditions, but can actually increase emissions when applied in high N conditions.
  • Key factors impacting the effectiveness of biochar in controlling GHG emissions include soil pH, soil organic carbon (SOC), the carbon/nitrogen ratio of biochar, its pH, and the temperature at which it was pyrolyzed.
