Low-dimensional (LD) lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) have attracted considerable attention in different fields due to their exceptional optical properties and numerous accessible active sites. Through the dimensional regulation effect of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a new LD Ln-MOF crystal is synthesized to monitor nitroreductase (NTR) activity in living bacteria.

Developing high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries faces serious polysulfide shuttle effects and sluggish conversion kinetics, often necessitating the excessive use of electrolytes, which in turn adversely affects battery performance. Our study introduces a meticulously designed electrocatalyst, Cu-CeO@N/C, to enhance lean-electrolyte lithium-sulfur battery performance. This catalyst, featuring in situ synthesized Cu clusters, regulates oxygen vacancies in CeO and forms Cu-CeO heterojunctions, thereby diminishing sulfur conversion barriers and hastening reaction kinetics through the generation of S/S intermediates.

Ballet-based dance training emphasizes the equal development of both legs. However, dancers often perceive differences between their legs during balance or landing. There still needs to be more consensus on the functional difference between dominant (D) and non-dominant legs (ND).

Deep learning has performed well in feature extraction and pattern recognition and has been widely studied in the field of fault diagnosis. However, in practical engineering applications, the lack of sample size limits the potential of deep learning in fault diagnosis. Moreover, in engineering practice, it is usually necessary to obtain multidimensional fault information (such as fault localization and quantification), while current methods mostly only provide single-dimensional information.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a challenging subtype due to its aggressive nature and limited treatment options. This study investigated the potential synergistic effects of Korean mistletoe lectin ( L. agglutinin, VCA) and cisplatin on MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells using both 2D and 3D culture models.

S6 Kinase 2 (S6K2) is a key regulator of cellular signaling and is crucial for cell growth, proliferation, and survival. This review is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the complex network of upstream effectors, downstream modulators, and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that regulate S6K2 activity. We emphasize the dynamic nature of S6K2 regulation, highlighting its critical role in cellular homeostasis and its potential as a therapeutic target in diseases like cancer.
