Effects of Hydrochars Derived from Woody Residues on Soil Enzyme Activities and Plant Response

The growing need for biomass waste recycling has led to increased interest in hydrothermal carbonization, which produces hydrochar as a by-product. This carbonaceous material can be applied in agriculture; however, its role in soil health is still not fully understood. Data on th...

Neutrophil heterogeneity and crosstalk with cerebral-resident cells: therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke

Acute ischemic stroke elicits a robust inflammatory response within the brain. As one of the first peripheral immune cells to infiltrate the ischemic parenchyma, neutrophils show high heterogeneity and engage in complex crosstalk with resident brain cells. In this review, we firs...

The Role of Lachnospiraceae in Liver Diseases: Recent Advances and Clinical Application Prospects

Chronic liver diseases impose a considerable global public health burden, yet available treatment options remain largely inadequate. The gut microbiota exerts a key modulatory effect on liver disease pathogenesis via the gut-liver axis. Among them, Lachnospiraceae, a dominant bac...

Platformization Without High Commitment: The Institutional Resilience and Functional Limits of the Quad

ABSTRACT Since its revival in 2017, the U.S.–Japan–India–Australia Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) has continued to operate across multiple changes of government in its member states despite the absence of legally binding security commitments, and has extended its cooperat...

Reliable Battery-free Backscatter Video Transmission for Ubiquitous Vision-based Sensing

Past decades have witnessed the rapid development of battery-free backscatter-based cameras, opening up promising long-term and sustainable surveillance applications by harvesting wireless energy. However, limited by the fluctuations of the ambient energy, existing backscatter sy...

PARP Inhibitors plus Anlotinib as Bridging Therapy for Armored CAR‐T Cells in Ovarian Cancer Enhances Infiltration and Antitumor Efficacy

ABSTRACT Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy is largely ineffective in most solid tumors, partially because of inadequate intratumoral trafficking. Bridging therapy, administered between leukapheresis and CAR‐T cell infusion, offers a distinct opportunity to control th...

Phonon thermal Hall effect in quartz and its absence in silica

The observation of a misalignment between the applied heat flux and the measured temperature gradient in insulating solids induced by magnetic field has become a subject of experimental investigation, theoretical speculation, and unsettled controversy. To identify the origin of t...

Microbiota and infection-driven mechanisms in upper gastrointestinal malignancies

The human microbiota — comprising bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses — forms a complex ecosystem that maintains host homeostasis through multifaceted host-microbe interactions. Increasing evidence suggests associations between microbial dysbiosis and upper gastrointestinal mal...

Metabolic-extracellular matrix crosstalk in hepatocellular carcinoma: mechanisms and targeted intervention

Bidirectional crosstalk between metabolic reprogramming and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes an important metabolic–ECM regulatory network that contributes to HCC progression. Metabolic derangements disrupt ECM deposition, crossl...

CatalyticPerformance and Reaction Mechanism of Coand Zn-Codoped Fe Catalysts on Different Supports for CO2 Hydrogenation

Abstract Metal oxides are commonly used as supports for catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. However, systematic studies on the influence of different metal oxide supports on the catalytic performance of catalysts for light olefin production remain limited. Therefore, a series of cob...

A gut microbiome‐lipid axis in early pregnancy is associated with metabolic dysregulation and diabetes risk

Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reflects metabolic dysregulation that becomes clinically apparent during pregnancy and shares key pathophysiological features with broader forms of diabetes. Gut microbiome‐host metabolic interactions may contribute to this process, ye...

Effects of Chemically Modified Three-Dimensional Porous Graphene for the Optimal Rheology and Mechanics of Cement Composite

Abstract Although graphene significantly enhances the performance of cement-based materials, its tendency to agglomerate in strongly alkaline cement paste environments and its high cost limit practical applications. To overcome these challenges, this study employed polycarboxylat...

Selective Photocatalytic Cleavage of Cα–Cβ Bond in Natural Lignin and Its Models Enabled by Z-Scheme Bi QDs/g-C3N4 van der Waals Heterojunction

Abstract Photocatalytic valorization of lignin into value-added aromatic chemicals constitutes a sustainable strategy for utilizing renewable biomass resources. However, the efficiency of this process is hampered by the requirement of harsh conditions and the inherent complexity...

Controlled flight of high-thrust ultralight ion-propelled microrobot with integrated sensing

Ion wind technology holds potential for the miniaturization of flying microrobots, generating thrust without mechanical moving parts, enabling simplified and light designs free from high-frequency actuators. Nevertheless, two fundamental challenges have limited its practical impl...

Neural regulation in lung cancer: from mechanisms to new therapeutic perspectives

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy, treatment outcomes are often constrained by tumor heterogeneity and the complex tumor microenvironment. Recent studies highlight the critical role of th...

Zoned Namespace is a Double-edged Sword: Rethinking the Impact of the ZNS Interface on File System Scalability
