Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloy are the most common metal materials in clinical orthopedic surgery. However, in the initial stage of surgery and implantation, the production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce oxidative stress (OS) microenvironment. OS will further inhibit the growth of new bone, resulting in surgical failure. In this study, based on the fact that nanoscale manganese dioxide (MnO) can show HO-like enzyme activity, a MnO nanocoating was prepared on mciro-nano structured surface of Ti substrate via a two-step method of alkaline thermal and hydrothermal treatment. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the nano-MnO coating was successfully fabricated on the surface of Ti substrate. The results of measurement of HO, dissolved O and intracellular ROS in vitro showed that the treated Ti substrate could efficiently eliminate HO and reduce ROS. Furthermore, the modified Ti substrate could promote the early adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, which was demonstrated by experimental results of cell morphology, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase, collagen, and mineralization deposition. The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of MSCs adhered the modified Ti substrate showed that the expression of genes related to osteogenic differentiation significantly increased. More importantly, the modified Ti implant could eliminate ROS at the injury site, reduce OS and promote the regeneration of bone tissue, which was demonstrated via hematoxylin/eosin, Masson's trichrome and immunohistochemical staining. In conclusion, the modified Ti implant presented here had the effect of reducing OS and promoting osseointegration. Relevant research ideas and results provide new methods for the research and development of functional implants, which have potential application value in the field of orthopedics.

Highly abundant in neurons, the cellular prion protein (PrP) is an obligatory precursor to the disease-associated misfolded isoform denoted PrP that accumulates in the rare neurodegenerative disorders referred to either as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or as prion diseases. The ability of PrP to serve as a substrate for this template-mediated conversion process depends on several criteria but importantly includes the presence or absence of certain endoproteolytic events performed at the cell surface or in acidic endolysosomal compartments. The major endoproteolytic events affecting PrP are referred to as α- and β-cleavages, and in this review we outline the sites within PrP at which the cleavages occur, the mechanisms potentially responsible and their relevance to pathology.

Enzyme-enzyme interactions are fundamental to the function of cells. Their atomistic mechanisms remain elusive mainly due to limitations of in-cell measurements. We address this challenge by atomistically modeling, for a total of ≈80 μs, a slice of the human cell cytoplasm that includes three successive enzymes along the glycolytic pathway: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), and phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM).

ConspectusThe discovery of reversible hydrogenation using metal-free phosphoborate species in 2006 marked the official advent of frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. This breakthrough revolutionized homogeneous catalysis approaches and paved the way for innovative catalytic strategies. The unique reactivity of FLPs is attributed to the Lewis base (LB) and Lewis acid (LA) sites either in spatial separation or in equilibrium, which actively react with molecules.
