A sensitive, straightforward, and environmentally sustainable method was developed and validated for the quantification of 13 PBDEs in chicken eggs using gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The QuEChERS approach, combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), was applied for sample preparation. Egg samples were extracted with acetonitrile and purified using Z-Sep + adsorbent.

Liver damage caused by acetaminophen (APAP) overdose remains a worldwide medical problem. New therapeutic medicines for APAP poisoning are needed as the efficacy of the only antidote, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), significantly decreases if administered after 8 h of APAP intake and massive APAP overdose remains to induce hepatotoxicity despite the timely administration of NAC. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) possesses versatile roles including regulation of lipid homeostasis and anti-inflammation in the liver.

Immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blockade and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, presents innovative and potentially more effective strategies for addressing TNBC. Within this context, the inducible costimulator (ICOS), a member of the CTLA4/CD28 family, plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and T-cell differentiation by binding to its ligand ICOSL.

To explore the genetic architecture and identify potential candidate genes, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed for 13 egg quality traits using data from whole-genome sequencing of 299 Longyan Shan-ma female ducks, including 12 quantitative traits and one qualitative trait, eggshell color (ESC; white, light green, green). From estimation of pedigree genetic parameters, heritability (h) ranged from 0.

These methods usually only offer a partial analysis of ST data, neglecting the complex relationship between spatial expression patterns underlying cell-type specificity and intercellular cross-talk. Here, we present eMCI, an explainable multimodal correlation integration model based on deep neural network framework.

The conventional behavior recognition strategy for wearable sensors used in high-temperature environments typically requires an external power supply, and the manufacturing process is cumbersome. Herein, we present a rational design strategy based on fully flexible printable materials and a customized device-manufacturing process for skin-conformable triboelectric nanogenerator sensors. In detail, using high temperature-resistant ink and 3D printing technology to manufacture a coaxial triboelectric nanogenerator (C-TENG) sensor, the C-TENG exhibits high stretchability (>400%), a wide working range (>250 °C), and high output voltage (>100 V).

The incorporated hydroxyl defects (-OH defects) substantially accelerate the accumulation of electrons at -OH defects, forming the Lewis basic sites. Due to the facilitated elongation of the S─O bond and reduced energy barrier of SO* generation, the captured PDS undergo prehydrolysis process, oxidized into O and O by surrounding h, thereby setting apart from the conventional reductive activation of SO /•OH generation occurred in pristine TCPs (p-TCPs).
