In this paper, factors of initial concentration, catalyst dosage, irradiation intensity, relative humidity and reaction temperature onto visible light gaseous o-xylene photodegradation by ZnCr layered double hydroxides (ZnCr-LDHs) and Au supported ZnCr-LDHs (Au/ZnCr-LDHs) were investigated. ZnCr-LDHs shows low removal efficiency for o-xylene photodegradation, while Au/ZnCr-LDHs exhibits both excellent photodegradation rate and high TOF values for o-xylene as well as other VOCs including benzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene. The kinetic equation and activation energy were calculated for o-xylene photodegradation, which are [Formula: see text] and 21.85 kJ/mol for ZnCr-LDH [Formula: see text] and 12.84 kJ/mol for Au/ZnCr-LDHs. The obvious difference both in kinetic equation and activation energy suggests the reaction mechanism of ZnCr-LDHs and Au/ZnCr-LDHs should be very different. The active species inhabitation experiments show that the major drive of photocatalytic reaction for ZnCr-LDHs is hydroxyl radical, while for Au/ZnCr-LDHs it is the hole and hydroxide radical. It is also proved that the support of Au NPs onto LDHs would result in the transfer of photoexcited electrons from LDHs to Au NPs which results in the enhancement of photocatalytic property as well as photocatalytic mechanism change based on UV-vis, XPS, the contribution of different wavelength ranges of visible light onto photocatalytic efficiency and electrochemical tests.

The biology centered around the TGF-beta type I receptor Activin Receptor-Like Kinase (ALK)1 (encoded by ACVRL1) has been almost exclusively based on its reported endothelial expression pattern since its first functional characterization more than two decades ago. Here, in efforts to better define the therapeutic context in which to use ALK1 inhibitors, we uncover a population of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that, by virtue of their unanticipated Acvrl1 expression, are effector targets for adjuvant anti-angiogenic immunotherapy in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer. The combinatorial benefit depended on ALK1-mediated modulation of the differentiation potential of bone marrow-derived granulocyte-macrophage progenitors, the release of CD14+ monocytes into circulation, and their eventual extravasation.

Ferroptosis is a unique cell death mode that relies on iron and lipid peroxidation (LPO) and is extensively utilized to treat drug-resistant tumor. However, like the other antitumor model, requirement of oxygen limited its application in treating the malignant tumors in anaerobic environments, just as photodynamic therapy, a very promising anticancer therapy. Here, we show that an iridium(III) complex (Ir-dF), which was often used in proton-coupled electron transport (PCET) process, can induce efficient cell death upon photo irradiation, which can be effectively protected by the typical ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 but not by the classic iron chelating agents and ROS scavengers.

Respiratory tract infections with influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and respiratory syncytial (RS) viruses and pneumococci as well as endogenous reactivation of varicella zoster viruses presenting as herpes zoster, are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, such as myocardial infarction or hospitalization for heart failure. Effective prevention of these events, particularly through influenza and pneumococcal vaccination, is well established and cost-effective. Despite guideline recommendations to vaccinate older patients and people at risk, vaccination rates in these population groups remain suboptimal and below average in international comparison.
