A ternary heterostructure (ZnPPO) was constructed by loading ZnO and tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) zinc porphyrin (ZnTCPP) with P-doped g-CN (PCN). In contrast to binary heterostructures (PCN-ZnO, ZnTCPP-ZnO and ZnTCPP-PCN) and single components (PCN, ZnTCPP and ZnO), ZnPPO has superior photocatalytic activity for H generation from water splitting. It is revealed that a binding structure of Ⅱ-type and Z-scheme has been constructed in ZnPPO, which plays a vital role in transferring photo-excited charge carriers. The significant enhancement of photocatalytic activity in ZnPPO is attributed to the effective transfer of photo-generated electrons and holes between the components of the ternary heterostructure.

Purpose: This case report aims to present a rare case of endometrial carcinosarcoma, a highly malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. The primary objective is to describe this unique case's clinical presentation, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, typical histopathological characteristics and surgical treatment.
Methods: A detailed analysis of the patient's medical history, preoperative imaging evaluation, and treatment approach was conducted.

The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) is an attractive strategy for the green and distributed production of ammonia (NH); however, it suffers from weak N adsorption and a high energy barrier of hydrogenation. Atomically dispersed metal dual-site catalysts with an optimized electronic structure and exceptional catalytic activity are expected to be competent for knotty hydrogenation reactions including the eNRR. Inspired by the bimetallic FeMo cofactor in biological nitrogenase, herein, an atomically dispersed FeMo dual site anchored in nitrogen-doped carbon is proposed to induce a favorable electronic structure and binding energy.

The gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the germline PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway components within the gonads of metazoan species remain largely unexplored. In contrast to the male germline piRNA pathway, which in mice is known to be activated by the testis-specific transcription factor A-MYB, the nature of the ovary-specific gene-regulatory network driving the female germline piRNA pathway remains a mystery. Here, using as a model, we combined multiple genomics approaches to reveal the transcription factor Ovo as regulator of the germline piRNA pathway in ovarian germ cells.

Protein synthesis (translation) consumes a substantial proportion of cellular resources, prompting specialized mechanisms to reduce translation under adverse conditions. Ribosome inactivation often involves ribosome-interacting proteins. In both bacteria and eukaryotes, various ribosome-interacting proteins facilitate ribosome dimerization or hibernation, and/or prevent ribosomal subunits from associating, enabling the organisms to adapt to stress.

Oscillation of the active form of the initiator protein DnaA (ATP-DnaA) allows for the timely regulation for chromosome replication. After initiation, DnaA-bound ATP is hydrolyzed, producing inactive ADP-DnaA. For the next round of initiation, ADP-DnaA interacts with the chromosomal locus DARS2 bearing binding sites for DnaA, a DNA-bending protein IHF, and a transcription activator Fis.
