Noncovalent Interactions-Driven Self-Assembly of Polyanionic Additive for Long Anti-Calendar Aging and High-Rate Zinc Metal Batteries.

Zinc anodes of zinc metal batteries suffer from unsatisfactory plating/striping reversibility due to interfacial parasitic reactions and poor Zn mass transfer kinetics. Herein, methoxy polyethylene glycol-phosphate (mPEG-P) is introduced as an electrolyte additive to achieve long anti-calendar aging and high-rate capabilities. The polyanionic of mPEG-P self-assembles via noncovalent-interactions on electrode surface to form polyether-based cation channels and in situ organic-inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interface layer, which ensure rapid Zn mass transfer and suppresses interfacial parasitic reactions, realizing outstanding cycling/calendar aging stability.

Harnessing Ion-Dipole Interactions for Water-Lean Solvation Chemistry: Achieving High-Stability Zn Anodes in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

The reversibility and stability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are largely limited by water-induced interfacial parasitic reactions. Here, dimethyl(3,3-difluoro-2-oxoheptyl)phosphonate (DP) is introduced to tailor primary solvation sheath and inner-Helmholtz configurations for robust zinc anode. Informed by theoretical guidance on solvation process, DP with high permanent dipole moments can effectively substitute the coordination of HO with charge carriers through relatively strong ion-dipolar interactions, resulting in a water-lean environment of solvated Zn.

Autophagy induced by Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) facilitated intracellular viral replication and extracellular viral yields in common carp brain cells.

Autophagy is a conservative and important process that exists in all eukaryotic cells in nature. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also known as KHV (Koi Herpesvirus), is a pathogen that mainly infecting common carp and koi. In the present study, we identified the CcLC3B gene, with a length of 379 bp and displaying a close evolutionary relationship with other sixteen different species, the tissue distribution and expression pattern of CcLC3 were also identified.

Effects of dietary fat type and emulsification on carotenoid absorption: a randomized crossover trial.

Background: Although emerging evidence has suggested that the type and emulsification of dietary fat may be important to carotenoid absorption, these effects have not yet been validated in a human trial.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of dietary fat type and emulsification on the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of carotenoids from a carotenoid-rich salad.

Methods: An identical salad was used for the in vitro and the human trial.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Differentially Expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in Koi Carp Infected with Koi Herpesvirus.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute an emerging group of ncRNAs that modulate gene expression at the transcriptional or translational level. Koi herpesvirus (KHV), also known as Cyprinus herpesvirus type 3 (CyHV-3) and characterized by high pathogenicity and high mortality, has caused substantial economic losses in the common carp and koi carp fisheries industry. In this work, we sequenced the lncRNA and mRNA of host koi carp infected with KHV.

Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Spotted Catfish (Thunberg, 1792) and Its Phylogenetic Implications.

The spotted catfish, (Siluriformes), is an important economical aquaculture species inhabiting the Indian Ocean, as well as the western Pacific Ocean. The bioinformatics data in previous studies about the phylogenetic reconstruction of Siluriformes were insufficient and incomplete. In the present study, we presented a newly sequenced mitochondrial genome (mtDNA).
