Published: August 2024

AUTAC-Biguanide is a hybrid compound designed to target mitochondria, inducing their degradation by mitophagy. This study unveils the potential of biguanides as cancer cell-targeting agents, emphasizing AUTAC-Biguanide's superior antiproliferative properties compared to metformin and its selectivity for cancer cells. The mechanism behind this heightened effect includes the ability of AUTAC-Biguanide to trigger mitophagy. By providing a comprehensive analysis of these findings, this study adds valuable insights to the field of mitochondrial-targeting anticancer agents.

Temperature dynamics and mechanical properties analysis of carbon fiber epoxy composites radiated by nuclear explosion simulated light source.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Engineering Research Center of Flexible Radiation Protection Technology, Universities of Shaanxi Province, Xi'an Polytechnic University, Xi'an, 710048, Shaanxi, China.

The impact of light radiation, a predominant energy release mechanism in nuclear explosions, on material properties is of critical importance. This investigation employed an artificial light source to replicate the effects of nuclear explosion radiation and utilized a physical information neural network (PINN) to examine the temperature evolution and corresponding changes in the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites (CFEC). A light source simulating nuclear explosion's light radiation was built to irradiate the CFEC, then measure the reflection spectrum and temperature of samples.

Scale-up of Microdroplet Reactors for Efficient CO Resource Utilization.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

MOE Key Laboratory of Mesoscopic Chemistry, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210023, China.

Two-phase reactions involving microdroplets have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique ability to catalyze and accelerate reactions that typically do not occur under standard conditions by leveraging chemical and physical effects at the micrometer-scale interface. In this work we have innovatively developed a scaled-up microdroplet reactor for the efficient resource utilization of CO. The reaction liquid is sprayed in the form of mist ( < 20 μm), facilitating complete contact and reaction with gaseous CO.

As compound concentrations in aquatic environments increase, the habitat degradation of aquatic organisms underscores the growing importance of studying the impact of chemicals on diverse aquatic populations. Understanding the potential impacts of different chemical substances on different species is a necessary requirement for protecting the environment and ensuring sustainable human development. In this regard, deep learning methods offer significant advantages over traditional experimental approaches in terms of cost, accuracy, and generalization ability.

This case study shares the knowledge gained from working with an individual having lived experience of a health condition contributing toward an occupational therapy education module through the reflections of an occupational therapy academic and an individual with lived experience working in a university. The primary goal is to establish an empirical evidence base for involvement of people with lived experience in occupational therapy education and to encourage other educators and individuals with lived experience to follow this model of teaching and learning in their curricula. Based on the belief that teaching and learning through co-production creates a 'triangle' of benefit for individuals with lived experience, students and academics.

Decoding the role of ghrelin and its interactions with central signaling pathways in avian appetite regulation.

Vet Res Commun

January 2025

Department of Biology, Faculty of Basic Science, Central Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.

Ghrelin, a peptide hormone primarily produced in the enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract, plays a vital role in regulating food intake, and energy balance in avian species. This review examines the complex interactions between ghrelin and the central signaling pathways associated with hunger regulation in birds. In contrast to mammals, where ghrelin typically promotes feeding behavior, its effects in birds appear more nuanced, exhibiting anorexigenic properties under certain conditions.
