Here we report the metallophilic attraction driven gel-forming capability of four cysteine-containing short peptides at neutral pH. Such peptides were designed to have an isoelectric point (pI) close to 7, aided by the introduction of an arginine unit with its highly basic guanidinium group.

Background: Affective cognition and emotion processing is impaired in amnestic Alzheimer's disease (AD), although less is known about atypical (AT) variants such as logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) and posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). The affective blindsight pathway bypasses V1 via the superior colliculus-pulvinar route to activate the amygdala in cases of occipital lesioning and may explain maintenance of emotion identification and visual information processing in non-amnestic AD despite atrophy in visuospatial regions. We sought to characterize functional connectivity from key regions along the affective blindsight pathway in a clinically heterogeneous AD cohort.

Background: Although surface finishing processes are effective against Streptococcus mutans biofilm, the mechanism of action of saliva with different acidity values has not been studied in detail. This study aims to produce four different all-ceramic materials in a single session with CAD/CAM devices and apply two different surface finishing processes, glazing and polishing, and then determine the retention of Streptococcus mutants on the surfaces of the materials in saliva with varying levels of acidity.
Methods: Zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Vita Suprinity, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Saöckingen, Germany), monochromatic feldspar (Vitablocs Mark 2, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Saöckingen, Germany), leucite glass ceramic (IPS Empress CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein), and monolithic zirconia (Incoris TZI (Cerec) Sirona, Germany) were used in the study.
Nano-island-encapsulated cobalt single-atom catalysts for breaking activity-stability trade-off in Fenton-like reactions.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been increasingly acknowledged for their performance in sustainable Fenton-like catalysis. However, SACs face a trade-off between activity and stability in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based systems. Herein, we design a nano-island encapsulated single cobalt atom (Co-ZnO) catalyst to enhance the activity and stability of PMS activation for contaminant degradation via an "island-sea" synergistic effect.

Hyperspectral imaging, a rapidly evolving field, has witnessed the ascendancy of deep learning techniques, supplanting classical feature extraction and classification methods in various applications. However, many researchers employ arbitrary architectures for hyperspectral image processing, often without rigorous analysis of the interplay between spectral and spatial information. This oversight neglects the implications of combining these two modalities on model performance, consumption, and inference time.
