Glutathione functionalized selenium nanoparticles suppress colorectal cancer cell growth with mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy related remodeling

Glutathione functionalization may improve the physicochemical and biological performance of selenium nanoparticles; however, the effects of glutathione-functionalized selenium nanoparticles (GSH-SeNPs) on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells remain insufficiently defined. In this study,...

SIX1 drives acute myeloid leukemia progression by reprogramming glycolytic metabolism and impairing CD8⁺ T-cell effector function

This study aimed to investigate the role of the homeobox gene SIX1 (sine oculis homeobox homolog 1) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression and to explore its underlying metabolic and immunological mechanisms. SIX1 expression was examined in human bone marrow stromal cells (H...

Water‐stable imidazole‐based ionic liquid‐functionalized metal–organic framework for efficient C 2 H 2 / CO 2 separation

Abstract Efficiently sieving C 2 H 2 from CO 2 remains a significant challenge due to their similar molecular sizes and physical properties. To address this issue, we developed a novel strategy for selectively sieving C 2 H 2 from CO 2 by functionalizing metal–organic frameworks...

Advances in the Molecular Regulatory Mechanisms of Testicular Development and Spermatogenesis in Yaks

Yaks are indigenous livestock species of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Due to long-term exposure to extreme environmental stressors, including high altitude, hypoxia, and low temperatures, its male reproductive system has evolved distinct adaptive strategies. Specifically, testicula...

Research on the Impact of County-to-District Reform on Industrial Land Factor Misallocation

As an important policy instrument for promoting regional integration, county-to-district reform plays a significant role in advancing coordinated regional development and optimizing the market-based allocation of factors. Using a balanced panel of 278 Chinese prefecture-level cit...

Amorphous MOF / Crystalline Bi 2 MoO 6 Heterojunction Interfaces: Engineering Quantum Dots and Electron Bridges for Synergistic High‐Efficiency Photocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation

ABSTRACT Conventional photocatalysts pronounced electron‐hole recombination and a limited number of active sites. To address these challenges, Bi‐N bridged bonds were interlinked at the interface of the heterojunction via coating crystalline Bi 2 MoO 6 with amorphous MOF (Bi 2 Mo...

Exploring baryon semileptonic decays through polarization and entanglement

Abstract The unitarity of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix is a cornerstone of the standard model (SM). Precise tests of this unitarity require independent determinations of its elements, such as | V us |, which governs the transition between strange and up quarks. Curr...

A Multimodal Dual-Stream Framework for Sheep Behavior Recognition Using Skeletal and Local Visual Fusion

Intelligent sheep behavior monitoring is vital for modern husbandry, but faces severe challenges in natural pastures due to high-density flock occlusion. Traditional 2D skeleton-based networks often suffer from depth ambiguity and feature collapse, misclassifying static tremors a...

Deer Imagery in Deer Stones and Animal-Style Bronze Artifacts

Abstract As a central symbolic motif in the ancient art of the Eurasian Steppe, the deer developed into a distinctive visual and symbolic system from the Late Bronze Age to the Xiongnu period. Deer imagery provides an important perspective for understanding the spiritual world, r...

Geometric nonlinear analysis of Timoshenko beams with variable cross-section using co-rotational formulation

Abstract. The geometrically nonlinear analysis of Timoshenko beams with variable cross-sections remains a challenging task in engineering practice, particularly for structures subjected to large deformations. While co-rotational (CR) formulations have been widely adopted for geom...

MBD3 Knockdown Promotes the Differentiation of Bovine iPSCs into Primordial Germ Cell-like Cells Associated with Altered Bivalent Modification of TGF-β-Related Genes

Methyl-CpG binding domain protein 3 (MBD3) is a member of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) corepressor protein complex, which plays a pivotal role in embryonic development, pluripotent stem cell (PSC) differentiation, and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) repro...

Energy evolution laws and acoustic emission damage characteristics of coal-rock combinations with different lateral unloading rates

In deep coal mining, excavation-induced lateral stress unloading can trigger rapid stress redistribution and energy release in coal-rock combination, resulting in dynamic hazards such as rock bursts. However, the rate-dependent damage mechanism and energy evolution characteristic...

Rechargeable Seawater Batteries: From Electrochemistry to Energy Storage

ABSTRACT Rechargeable seawater batteries are emerging as sustainable electrochemical energy‐storage systems that directly exploit natural seawater as an abundant electrolyte and ion reservoir. Beyond conventional seawater‐activated primary batteries and half‐seawater rechargeable...
