Until now, there has been a lack of knowledge regarding the vertical profiles of nitrate formation in the urban boundary layer (BL) based on triple oxygen isotopes. Here, we conducted vertical measurements of the oxygen anomaly of nitrate (Δ17O-NO3–) on a 325 m meteorological tower in urban Beijing ...

Layered perovskites A3M2O7 are known to exhibit the so-called hybrid improper ferroelectricity. Despite experimentally confirmed cases (e.g., nonmagnetic M = Ti and Sn), the ferroelectricity in magnetic Ca3Mn2O7 remains a puzzle. Here, the structural, ferroelectric, magnetoelectric, and optical prop...

Abstract Vanadium‐based fluorophosphates are promising sodium‐ion battery cathode materials. Different phases of NaVPO 4 F and Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 are reported in the literature. However, experiments in this work suggest that there could be confusions about the single‐phase NaVPO 4 F in solid‐sta...

BACKGROUND: Viral infection causes multiple forms of human cancer, and HPV infection is the primary factor in cervical carcinomas. Recent single-cell RNA-seq studies highlight the tumor heterogeneity present in most cancers, but virally induced tumors have not been studied. HeLa is a well characteri...

Objective— DKK3 (dickkopf 3), a 36-kD secreted glycoprotein, has been shown to be involved in the differentiation of partially reprogrammed cells and embryonic stem cells to smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but little is known about its involvement in vascular disease. This study aims to assess the effec...

This study reports the different degradation mechanisms of carbamazepine (CBZ) and diclofenac (DCF) by single-atom Barium (Ba) embedded g-C3N4. Single-atom Ba is anchored onto g-C3N4 by forming ionic bond with triazine ring, thus greatly enhances the photocatalytic activity with an atom ratio of 1.7...

Immunotherapy has gradually emerged as the most promising anticancer therapy. In addition to conventional anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, anti-CTLA-4 therapy, CAR-T therapy, etc., immunotherapy can also be induced by stimulating the maturation of immune cells or inhibiting negative immune cells, regulating...

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that chronic infusion of angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] may dose-dependently inhibit atherosclerotic lesion formation by targeting vascular smooth muscle cells and a large dose of Ang-(1-7) may stabilize mature plaque by targeting macrophages. APPROACH AND RESULTS: I...

BACKGROUND: Species domestication is generally characterized by the exploitation of high-impact mutations through processes that involve complex shifting demographics of domesticated species. These include not only inbreeding and artificial selection that may lead to the emergence of evolutionary bo...

Metal-responsive transcription factor 1 (MTF1) participates in redox homeostasis and heavy metals detoxification via regulating the expression of metal responsive genes. However, the exact role of MTF1 in Cd-induced cerebral toxicity remains unclear. Herein, we explored the mechanism of Cd-elicited ...

In this work, a novel strategy for building single-atom silver-induced amorphous graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with a hollow tubular morphology is developed. By forming a tubular supramolecular gel, silver is successfully isolated by the nitrogen atoms in both melamine and nitrate anions, impedi...

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal of considerable toxicity, possessing a serious environmental problem that threatening food safety and human health. However, the underlying mechanisms of Cd-induced nephrotoxicity and detoxification response remain largely unclear. Cd was administered at doses of ...

This study reports the distribution, contamination level, and possible sources of 54 metal (oid)s in the soils found around brick kilns in south-western Bangladesh. In total, 40 soil samples were collected from the vicinity of five brick kilns in four directions at 250 m intervals. This study reveal...

Purpose To investigate whether the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods A total of 6489 participants aged 35-70 years without a history of CVD were included in this prospective cohort study. The median follow-u...

The COVID-19 pandemic (and its aftermath) highlights a critical need to communicate health information effectively to the global public. Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it mor...

Since the four working groups of the Chinese Society of Cardiology issued first expert consensus on coronary microvascular diseases (CMVD) in 2017, international consensus documents on CMVD have increased rapidly. Although some of these documents made preliminary recommendations for the diagnosis an...
