Three cerium complexes: [Ce(ClQ)4] (1) (H-ClQ=5,7-dichloro-8-hydroxylquinoline), [Ce(ClIQ)4]·CH2Cl2·0.5H2O (2) (H-ClIQ=5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxylquinoline) and [Ce2(BrQ)4(H-BrQ)(H2O)3Cl2]·1.5H2O (3) (H-BrQ=5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxylquinoline) were synthesized. The structures of 1 and 2 are mononuclear whereas 3 has a binuclear structure. Compared with the H-ClQ, H-ClIQ and H-BrQ, complexes 1-3 exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity (IC50=0.09-5.23 μM) to SK-OV-3 and BEL-7404, 1 and 2 exhibited higher cytotoxicity to NCI-H460. Most the complexes and ligands exhibited higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin. Complexes 1-3 are much more sensitive to SK-OV-3 than to human normal liver cell HL-7702. Their antitumor activities were achieved through cell apoptosis and arrest at G0/G1-phase. Studies on the binding properties of 1-3 to DNA indicate that intercalation is the most probable binding mode.

Tomato yellow leaf curl Guangdong virus (TYLCGdV), a monopartite begomovirus first identified in 2004, remains poorly characterised. In this study, we demonstrate that TYLCGdV associates with a betasatellite, TYLCGdB, and the βC1 protein encoded by TYLCGdB is essential for symptom development. We also explore the role of TYLCGdV C4 protein by generating a C4-deficient infectious clone (TYLCGdV), revealing a dynamic role for TYLCGdV C4.

Background: Several approaches are being explored for engineering off-the-shelf chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. In this study, we engineered chimeric Fcγ receptor (FcγR) T cells and tested their potential as a versatile platform for universal T cell therapy.
Methods: Chimeric FcγR (CFR) constructs were generated using three distinct forms of FcγR, namely CD16A, CD32A, and CD64.

Background: Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) initiate the process of odorant perception. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that OBPs bind a broad variety of chemicals and are more likely to carry pheromones or odor molecules with high binding affinities. However, few studies have investigated its effects on insect behavior.

Background: Advanced gastric cancer (GC) exhibits a high recurrence rate and a dismal prognosis. Myocyte enhancer factor 2c (MEF2C) was found to contribute to the development of various types of cancer. Therefore, our aim is to develop a prognostic model that predicts the prognosis of GC patients and initially explore the role of MEF2C in immunotherapy for GC.

Objectives: Poststroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common complication after stroke but there is limited information on its global prevalence and influencing factors, such as spatial, temporal, demographic characteristics, and stroke-related factors. Our study seeks to fill this knowledge gap by exploring the overall prevalence of PSD and its influencing factors.
Methods: A search of English-language literature from database inception from 2005 until May 2022 was performed using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus.
