Highly ordered mesoporous tungsten oxide (meso-WO3) was successfully synthesized using mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a hard template via the nanoreplication method. The physicochemical properties of meso-WO3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, and infra-red spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. No oxidation state other than WO3 was observed in the meso-WO3 sample. Lewis acid sites were dominant in meso-WO3, which could be confirmed by infra-red spectroscopy of pyridine and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia. Its catalytic behavior in 2-butanol dehydration was investigated in a fixed bed reactor and compared with that of the WO3/MCM-41 catalyst prepared by the atomic layer deposition method. The meso-WO3 catalyst exhibited higher 2-butanol dehydration activity than that of the WO3/MCM-41 catalyst, which is ascribed to the stronger acidity as well as higher amount of acid sites that are mainly composed of Lewis acid sites in the meso-WO3 catalyst.

Efficient and accurate drug-target affinity (DTA) prediction can significantly accelerate the drug development process. Recently, deep learning models have been widely applied to DTA prediction and have achieved notable success. However, existing methods often encounter several common issues: first, the data representations lack sufficient information; second, the extracted features are not comprehensive; and third, most methods lack interpretability when modeling drug-target binding.

Podophyllotoxin, along with its numerous derivatives and related compounds, is well known for its broad-spectrum pharmacological activity, especially for anticancer potential. In this study, several isatin-podophyllotoxin hybrid compounds were successfully synthesized with good yields through microwave-prompted three-component reactions of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone, various substituted isatins, and tetronic acid. Their cytotoxicity was assessed against four types of human cancer cell lines, HepG2 (hepatoma carcinoma), MCF7 (breast cancer), A549 (non-small lung cancer), and KB (epidermoid carcinoma), alongside nontumorigenic HEK-293 human embryonic kidney cells.

Introduction: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a cyclical mood disorder that severely affects the daily life of women of reproductive age. Most of the medications being used clinically have limitations such as low efficacy, side effects, and high cost, so there is an urgent need to discover safer and more effective medications. Rutin is a natural flavonol glycoside with various pharmacological properties including antidepressant.

Humic acid (HA) enhances colloidal transport in porous media, yet the mechanisms by which the HA adsorption conformation affects colloid transport remain unclear. This study investigated the influence of HA on the transport of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated soil colloids (TPHs-SC) in saturated sand columns. The presence of TPHs on the colloidal surface occupied adsorption sites, hindering HA from forming a horizontal adsorption conformation, as observed on uncontaminated soil colloids (SC).

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are critical for the treatment of blood diseases in clinic. However, the limited source of HSPCs severely hinders their clinical application. In the embryo, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) arise from hemogenic endothelial (HE) cells lining the major arteries in vivo.
