We report the first examples of yolk-shell metal-organic framework (MOF) heterostructures based on topologically distinct MOFs: ZIF-8/ZIF-67 and UiO-66. This was accomplished through an innovative reverse synthesis strategy: A hollow UiO-66 was first constructed; the precusors of the ZIFs were then loaded into the cavity of hollow UiO-66 through a mixed solvent impregnation method; subsequent crystallization under solvothermal condition led to the formation of yolk-shell MOFs containing one or multiple ZIF particles confined within a chemically robust single crystalline UiO-66 shell.

Introduction: The mechanism of remimazolam, a benzodiazepine that activates γ-aminobutyric acid a (GABAa) receptors, in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is not well understood. Therefore, we explored whether remimazolam activates protein kinase B (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) to attenuate brain I/R injury in transcerebral I/R-injured rats and transoxygenic glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-injured SY5Y cells.
Material And Methods: Remimazolam was added at the beginning of cell and rat reperfusion, and the PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002 was added to inhibit the AKT/GSK-3β/NRF2 pathway 24 h before cellular OGD/R treatment and 30 min before rat brain I/R treatment.

Adiponectin (ADN) regulates DNA synthesis, cell apoptosis and cell cycle to participate in the pathology and progression of glioblastoma. The present study aimed to further explore the effect of ADN on temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioblastoma and the underlying mechanism of action. Glioblastoma cell lines (U251 and U87-MG cells) were treated with ADN and TMZ at different concentrations; subsequently, 3.

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a refractory inflammatory bowel disease with an unclear etiology. CircularRNA (circRNA) has been highlighted as a novel class of functional noncoding RNAs associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, the functions of circRNA in CD remain unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of pachymic acid on brown/beige adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism in preadipocytes 3T3-L1 MBX.
Methods: The brown cocktail method was employed to induce 3T3-L1 MBX cells to differentiate into beige adipocytes. The impact of pachymic acid on the viability of 3T3-L1 MBX preadipocytes was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay.

Oxidation of dopamine can cause various side effects, which ultimately leads to cell death and contributes to Parkinson's disease (PD). To counteract dopamine oxidation, newly synthesized dopamine is quickly transported into vesicles via vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) for storage. VMAT2 expression is reduced in patients with PD, and studies have shown increased accumulation of dopamine oxidation byproducts and α-synuclein in animals with low VMAT2 expression.
