AI Article Synopsis

  • Drug repurposing is being explored as a promising method to expedite drug discovery for cancer treatment.
  • The study found that combining Tranylcypromine (TCP) with the NRF2 inhibitor ML385 had synergistic effects, significantly reducing tumor growth compared to using either drug alone.
  • Further research is required to fully understand how this combination works and to assess any potential side effects, but the findings indicate a strong potential for effective cancer therapies.

Article Abstract

Drug repurposing has emerged as an attractive strategy for accelerating drug discovery for cancer treatment. In this study, we investigated combining Tranylcypromine (TCP) with a number of well-characterized drugs. Among these combinations, NRF2 inhibitor (ML385) exhibited synergistic effects in combination with TCP. Specifically, our results showed that the combination of TCP and ML385 resulted in a significant reduction in tumor proliferation while neither drug affected cancer cell growth meaningfully on its own. While further studies are needed to understand fully the extent of the synergistic efficacy, the underlying respective mechanisms and the potential side effects of this approach, our study has yielded a promising start for the development of an effective combination cancer therapy.

Postnatal establishment of enteric metabolic, host-microbial and immune homeostasis is the result of precisely timed and tightly regulated developmental and adaptive processes. Here, we show that infection with the invasive enteropathogen Typhimurium results in accelerated maturation of the neonatal epithelium with premature appearance of antimicrobial, metabolic, developmental, and regenerative features of the adult tissue. Using conditional Myd88-deficient mice, we identify the critical contribution of immune cell-derived mediators.

Dual-Anion-Rich Polymer Electrolytes for High-Voltage Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

ACS Nano

Department of Physics, JC STEM Lab of Energy and Materials Physics, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 999077, P. R. China.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

Far-red phosphors have emerged as a desirable research hotspot owing to their critical role in promoting plant growth. Especially, Eu ions typically present the D→F (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, which overlap with the far-red light required for plant photosynthesis. However, achieving high-efficiency far-red emission of Eu remains challenging due to weak D→F transition and concentration quenching.

NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) currently are the most efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline environments. However, the development of high-performance low cost OER electrocatalysts using straightforward strategies remains a significant challenge. In this study, we describe an innovative microbial mineralization-based method for in situ-induced preparation of NiFe LDH nanosheets loaded on nickel foam and demonstrate that this material serves as an efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalyst.
