Polyoxometalates (POMs), anionic metal-oxide clusters, are actively studied for their versatile structural designs and element selectivity. A series of Keplerate-type POMs with core-shell structures, known as POM capsules, that feature a Keggin-type POM core, has been reported. These POM capsules, with their neutral to negative charge and large molecular surface area, can serve as platforms for proton (H) conduction. In this study, we aimed to introduce proton carriers into the POM capsule through a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reaction. It is crucial to avoid excessive reduction, as it increases electrostatic interaction between the proton and the POM capsule, hindering proton conduction. The number of incorporated electrons was varied from 0 to 11, and the POM capsule containing 3 electrons exhibited proton conductivity an order of magnitude higher than that of pristine or highly reduced POM capsules. This study serves as a proof of concept, demonstrating that PCET, combined with the core-shell structure, can effectively enhance the proton conductivity without being limited by the choice of constituent elements.

Purpose Of Review: The advent of checkpoint immunotherapy has dramatically changed the outcomes for patients with cancer. However, a considerable number of patients have little or no response to therapy. We review recent findings on the connection between the gut microbiota and the immune system, exploring whether this link could enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Inkless paper made from photochromic materials has garnered significant interest owing to its potential to reduce both ink and paper pollution during production. In this research, we synthesized a dual-material film (EC-PVP/PGMEA/PMoA) and conducted a detailed investigation of its photochromic response to visible light and its microstructural properties. Initially, the film appeared as a translucent yellow, but upon exposure to visible light, it shifted to blue with a maximum absorption peak of 2.

Article Synopsis
- Vinylene-linked Covalent Organic Frameworks (V-2D-COFs) are advanced materials known for their stable, crystalline structures and excellent optoelectronic properties, but their synthesis is limited due to challenges with C═C bonds.
- Postsynthetic modification (PSM) offers a solution by allowing the introduction of functional groups into these frameworks, thus expanding their potential applications.
- The study demonstrates a thiol-ene click reaction to successfully modify two COFs, enhancing their properties and structural versatility, which could lead to new applications in areas like hydrophilicity and proton conductivity.
Radiation therapy for childhood-onset craniopharyngioma: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Craniopharyngioma (CP), a benign tumor originating from remnants of Rathke's pouch in the sellar region, accounts for approximately 30% of all cases of craniopharyngioma. Radiation therapy has been used to treat CP patients for decades; however, there is still a lack of systematic reviews on the long-term tumor control outcomes in pediatric CP patients treated with external radiation therapy.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of multiple databases for studies on the tumor progression rates of childhood-onset CP(COCP) patients who received external radiotherapy.
