Adiponectin inhibits ROS/NLRP3 inflammatory pathway through FOXO3A to ameliorate oral submucosal fibrosis.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an oral condition characterized by chronic progression, which may lead to the development of malignancy. Currently, available treatments for OSF only provide temporary relief of symptoms, and there is a limited availability of effective interventions that can effectively cure this condition. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether adiponectin (APN) could ameliorate OSF and the mechanisms involved in it.

A solvent-responsive terbium-organic framework for photocatalytic CO reduction.

A Tb-MOF with a 5,5,6-c 3-nodal net, {[Tb(DTDA)·2HO]·DMF·8HO} (AQNU-4), has been synthesized (DTDA = 2',5'-diethoxy-[1,1':4',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-dicarboxylic acid). AQNU-4 contains a 1-periodic secondary building unit (rod SBU) and has an unusual topological type with the point symbol {3·4·6·7·8}{3·4·5·6}{3·4·5·6}. Efficient light harvesting and electron-hole separation make AQNU-4 an effective photocatalyst for use in the CO reduction reaction (CORR).

Arsenic Accumulation and Physiological Response of Three Leafy Vegetable Varieties to As Stress.

Arsenic (As) in leafy vegetables may harm humans. Herein, we assessed As accumulation in leafy vegetables and the associated physiological resistance mechanisms using soil pot and hydroponic experiments. Garland chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium L.
