The role of mitochondrial fusion protein 2 in regulating ER stress in premature placental aging
Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, which may be attributed to premature placental aging. Previous studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (Mfn2) plays a critical role in aging-related neurodegenera...

*Stress, H. pylori, and NSAIDs in Peptic Ulcer Pathogenesis*
This research analyzes the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the progression from gastric hypersensitivity to peptic ulcer disease. It focuses on the interplay of three key factors: chronic _Helicobacter pylori_ infection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, and chro...

Critical neuronal avalanches arise from excitation-inhibition balanced spontaneous activity
Neuronal avalanches are sequences of neural activations exhibiting scale-invariant statistics, indicative of critical dynamics. Theoretical studies proposed that the balance between excitation (E) and inhibition (I), along with neuromodulation, are key factors influencing this cr...

Synergistic Dual‐Channel Charge Separation in Cr‐TiO 2‐x for Solar H 2 O 2 Synthesis
ABSTRACT Solar‐driven hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) synthesis offers a sustainable alternative to the energy‐intensive anthraquinone process, yet its efficiency is fundamentally constrained by the inability to simultaneously harness photogenerated electrons and holes in a balanced...

Redox-MediatedReversible C–C Bond Cleavagein Aqueous Electrochemical Systems
Abstract Redox-active organic molecules provide a versatile platform for applications such as organocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and energy storage; however, parasitic reactions can yield competing bond-forming pathways that trap the molecule in electrochemically inaccessible sta...
