Using waste rubber tires for concrete production will reduce the demand for natural aggregate and help to reduce environmental pollution. The main challenge of using waste rubber tires in concrete is the deterioration of mechanical properties, due to poor bonding between rubber and cement matrix. Th...

The increasing global energy consumption has led to the rapid development of renewable energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been extensively studied and utilized for reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy storage. Nevertheless, designing new materials for LIB applicati...

In this study, the spatiotemporal distribution of microplastic deposition was investigated through ordinary Kriging interpolation, and the potential sources of microplastic deposition were identified by using Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model. The results showed that the ...

Azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction is a very common organic reaction to synthesize nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Once catalyzed by Cu(I) or Ru(II), it turns out to be a click reaction and thus is widely applied in chemical biology for labeling. However, besides their poor regioselectivity towar...

Human Ag R (HuR) is an RNA binding protein in the ELAVL protein family. To study the neuron-specific function of HuR, we generated inducible, neuron-specific HuR-deficient mice of both sexes. After tamoxifen-induced deletion of HuR, these mice developed a phenotype consisting of poor balance, decrea...

Urban regions are suggested to be the main source of microplastic pollution in rivers. Thus, we investigated the spatiotemporal distribution of microplastics in the surface water of the Lanzhou section of the Yellow River in a semiarid region and the contributions of typical sources. The average con...

While circular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit lower abundance compared to corresponding linear RNAs, they demonstrate potent biological functions. Nevertheless, challenges arise from the low concentration and distinctive structural features of circRNAs, rendering existing methods operationally intricate an...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent condition and one of the most common psychiatric disorders worldwide. Circular RNA (circRNA) has been increasingly implicated in MDD. However, a comprehensive understanding of circRNA and microglial apoptosis in depression is incomplete. Here, we...

BACKGROUND: Astrocytes participate in innate inflammatory responses within the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). HECT domain E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (HECTD1) functions during microglial activation, suggesting a connection with neuroinflammation. However, the potential role of HECTD1 in a...

The printability of bioink and post-printing cell viability is crucial for extrusion-based bioprinting. A proper bioink not only provides mechanical support for structural fidelity, but also serves as suitable three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment for cell encapsulation and protection. In this stu...

Gold nanorod-mediated photothermal therapy has been widely explored for cancer treatment. However, timely evaluation of the therapeutic response is difficult as current diagnostic approaches are largely based on measurements of tumor volume. The present study developed a non-invasive imaging strateg...

Household consumption induces aggregated economic activities by pushing market demand, capital accumulation and financial growth in the economy; on the other hand, instability in household consumption adversely affects the overall economic progress. Thus, exploring the key determinants responsible f...

Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are a unique class of chromosome-originating circular DNA molecules, which are closely linked to oncogene amplification. Due to recent technological advances, particularly in high-throughput sequencing technology, bioinformatics methods based on sequencing da...

Abstract The development of persistent room‐temperature phosphorescence (pRTP) materials has been rapid in recent years; however, producing pRTP materials with high luminescent characteristics, mechanical strength, and processability is a difficult issue. Herein, a new class of pRTP materials named ...

A set of 185 strains of Candida albicans from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and from non-VVC clinical sources in southwest China was analysed. Strains were subjected to genotyping using CAI microsatellite typing and amplification of an intron-containing region of the 25S rRNA gene. Mi...
