The wealth of variability amongst genes controlling immunity against potyviruses in pepper (Capsicum spp.) has been instrumental in understanding plant-virus co-evolution and major determinants of plant resistance durability. Characterization of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E1 (eIF4E1), involved in mRNA translation, as the basis of potyvirus resistance in pepper initiated a large body of work that showed that recessive resistance to potyviruses and other single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses resulted from mutations in eukaryotic initiation factors in many plant crop species. Combining mutations in different eIF4Es in the same pepper genotype had complex effects on the breadth of the resistance spectrum and on resistance durability, revealing a trade-off between these two traits. In addition, combining eIF4E1 mutations with a quantitatively resistant genetic background had a strong positive effect on resistance durability. Analysing the evolutionary forces imposed by pepper genotypes onto virus populations allowed identifying three key factors improving plant resistance durability: the complexity of mutational pathways involved in virus adaptation to the plant resistance, the decrease of competitivity induced by these mutations on the virus and the intensity of genetic drift imposed by plant genotypes on the virus during its infection cycle.

Commercial hard carbon (HC) anode suffers from unexpected interphase chemistry rooted in the parasitic reactions between surface oxygen-functional groups and ester-based electrolytes. Herein, an innovative strategy is proposed to regulate interphase chemistry by tailoring targeted functional groups on the HC surface, where highly active undesirable oxygen-functional groups are skillfully converted into a Si-O-Si molecular layer favorable for anchoring anions. Then, an inorganic/organic hybrid solid electrolyte interphase with low interfacial charge transfer resistance and enhanced cycling durability is constructed successfully.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance of long-span fixed provisional restorations fabricated using milling, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and conventional methods.
Materials And Methods: Sixty specimens were prepared, divided into four groups of 15 each, corresponding to four fabrication methods: computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled provisional resins, 3D-printed provisional resins, 3D-printed permanent resins, and conventional bis-acryl restorations reinforced with wire. The specimens underwent a three-point bending test using a universal testing machine to measure fracture resistance, quantified as maximum force (in Newtons).

Creating durable, motion-compliant neural interfaces is crucial for accessing dynamic tissues under in vivo conditions and linking neural activity with behaviors. Utilizing the self-alignment of nano-fillers in a polymeric matrix under repetitive tension, here, we introduce conductive carbon nanotubes with high aspect ratios into semi-crystalline polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels, and create electrically anisotropic percolation pathways through cyclic stretching. The resulting anisotropic hydrogel fibers (diameter of 187 ± 13 µm) exhibit fatigue resistance (up to 20,000 cycles at 20% strain) with a stretchability of 64.

Lung carcinoma incidence and fatality rates remain among the highest on a global scale. The efficacy of targeted therapies and immunotherapies is commonly compromised by the emergence of drug resistance and other factors, resulting in a lack of durable therapeutic benefits. Ferroptosis, a distinct pattern of cell death marked by the buildup of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, has been shown to be a novel and potentially more effective treatment for lung carcinoma.
