DNA damage is considered to be a potentially unifying driver of ageing, and the stalling of DNA damage repair accelerates the cellular senescence. However, augmenting DNA repair has remained a great challenge due to the intricate repair mechanisms specific for multiple types of lesions. Herein, we miniaturized our modified detecting system for homologous recombination (HR) into a 96-well-based platform and performed a high-throughput chemical screen for FDA-approved drugs.

By utilizing the K-means algorithm in the supergroup algorithm to conduct a survey of visitors to Museum A and analyze the behavior of 180 selected visitors, the display effect and audience satisfaction can be improved. Various knowledge graph technologies were utilized to construct a knowledge graph of museum cultural relics.

As the first dual programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 bispecific antibody approved globally, cadonilimab demonstrated potential antitumor activity in advanced NSCLC patients resistant to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies.
Methods: We retrospectively collected efficacy and safety data from advanced NSCLC patients treated with cadonilimab-based regimens in later therapy lines.
The virtually imaged phased array (VIPA) spectrometer uses the orthogonal dispersion method and has the advantages of compact structure, high spectral resolution, and wide wavelength coverage. It has been widely used in different fields. However, due to the non-linear dispersion of the VIPA etalon and the cross-dispersion structure of the VIPA spectrometer, simple and high-accuracy wavelength calibration remains a challenge.

However, some traditional medical practices have already taken the seasonality into account, such as the "Season Tea" (ST) decoctions investigated in the present study.
Aim Of The Study: We present a study of the ST decoctions from traditional Chinese medicine, which include four formulae designed for the four seasons, aiming to investigate their pharmacological commonality and distinction.
Carcinogenic nitrosamines have been widely studied due to their risk to human health. However, the universality and evolutionary processes of their generation, particularly concerning their secondary sources, remain unclear at present. We demonstrated through laboratory flow tube experiments that corresponding nitrosamines were generated from heterogeneous reactions of nitrous acid (HONO) with five structurally diverse amines commonly found indoors, including diphenylamine (DPhA), dibenzylamine (DBzA), dioctylamine (DOtA), -(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-'-phenyl--phenylenediamine (6PPD), and -phenyl-1-naphthylamine (PANA).

Successful completion of HR requires the tumor suppressor BRCA2. Germline mutations in BRCA2 lead to familial breast, ovarian, and other cancers, underscoring the importance of this protein for maintaining genome stability.

However, a comprehensive evaluation model remains lacking. Toward this end, we aimed to evaluate the emission patterns of greenhouse gases and greenhouse tomato yield during the spring and autumn cultivation seasons as influenced by irrigation water use efficiency, nitrogen fertilizer partial productivity, and soil organic carbon (SOC).

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which have rapidly evolved throughout the 21st century, are notable for their vast surface area, porosity, and adaptability, establishing them as highly effective vehicles for controlled drug delivery. This review methodically categorizes common MOFs employed in crop disease management and details their effectiveness against various pathogens.

Impressively, the efficient chirality induction and unique switchable feature of topologically chiral [2]catenane not only lead to a high |g| value up to 1.6×10 but also facilitate in situ dynamic switching of the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL).

Plant viral diseases cause great losses in agricultural production. Virus cross-protection is a strategy in which a mild virus is employed to shield plants against subsequent infections by severe viral strains. However, this approach is restricted to protection against the same viruses.

Here, an artificial aquatic autonomic nervous system (ANS) with switchable excitatory/inhibitory characteristics and acetylcholine (ACh)-mediated plasticity is reported based on the newly emerged organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT). Under the modulation of spatial light and ACh, the system exhibits an immediate switch between excitation and inhibition, and many pulse patterns as well as advanced ANS functions are mimicked.
