Modular kinetic analysis reveals that the environmental pollutant 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (2,2',5,5'-TCB) affects a large number of steps in oxidative phosphorylation in rat liver mitochondria. 2,2',5,5'-TCB increases membrane permeability to ions, and inhibits NADH dehydrogenase, cytochrome bc1, cytochrome oxidase (all in the respiratory chain) and ATP-synthase (in the phosphorylation subsystem). Surprisingly, flux control distribution does not change. A kinetic model for oxidative phosphorylation was used to simulate these findings, and it was found that combined large changes in the processes indicated indeed left the flux control largely unchanged. In addition, computational analysis with the model indicated that the adenine nucleotide translocator might be inhibited by 2,2',5,5'-TCB.

VDAC1 Cleavage Promotes Autophagy in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells With Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury.
Nephrology (Carlton)
February 2025
Department of Quality Management, Tianjin Blood Center, Tianjin, China.
Aim: To study the effect and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of VDAC1-ΔC on autophagy in renal tubular epithelial cells injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation.
Methods: C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into groups: sham operation group, IRI 1d group and IRI 2d group. The inner canthal blood of mice was collected to detect the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen and kidney tissues were sampled, and sections were stained with Periodic acid-Schiff for morphological evaluation.
Contact Dynamic Behaviors of Magnetic Hydrogel Soft Robots.

Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, School of Physics, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210094, China.
Magnetic hydrogel soft robots have shown great potential in various fields. However, their contact dynamic behaviors are complex, considering stick-slip motion at the contact interface, and lack accurate computational models to analyze them. This paper improves the numerical computational method for hydrogel materials with magneto-mechanical coupling effect, analyses the inchworm-like contact motion of the biomimetic bipedal magnetic hydrogel soft robot, and designs and optimizes the robot's structure.

Background: Thymoquinone (TQ) is found in the seeds of Nigella sativa. It has immunomodulatory, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, astringent, antifungal, and antihistaminic properties, making it a highly valuable compound of interest. However, the use of it as a therapeutic drug is highly challenging because of its poor solubility, low bioavailability, and short-term stability.

The rising global demand for air conditioning systems, driven by increasing temperatures and urbanization, has led to higher energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. HVAC systems, particularly AC, account for nearly half of building energy use, highlighting the need for efficient cooling solutions. Passive cooling, especially radiative cooling, offers potential to reduce cooling loads and improve energy efficiency.
