Electrochemical urea synthesis via the coreduction of CO2 and NO3– is a sustainable alternative to the traditional Bosch–Meiser process. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics usually result in a low efficiency. Herein, we designed a kind of quaternary PdCuCoZn medium-entropy alloy (MEA) metallene ...

Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets with a single-layer thickness are currently an emerging field in synthetic chemistry. The preparation of these sheets is a challenge due to their predicted thermodynamic instability. Here, we determined that Bi2MoO6 nanosheets can be controlled by ionic liquids (ILs) ...

BACKGROUND: Arsenic (As) exposure through drinking water is a global public health concern. Epigenetic dysregulation including changes in DNA methylation (DNAm), may be involved in arsenic toxicity. Epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of arsenic exposure have been restricted to single populati...

Endothelial dysfunction represents a major cardiovascular risk factor for hypertension. Sp1 and Sp3 belong to the specificity protein and Krüppel-like transcription factor families. They are ubiquitously expressed and closely associated with cardiovascular development. We investigate the role of Sp1...

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis remains a formidable threat to global public health. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis presents increasing burden on the control strategy. D-Cycloserine (DCS) is an effective second-line drug against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), the causative agent of tuber...

Abstract Phenotypic plasticity, which encompasses the diversification of both irreversible and reversible traits, has long been considered an adaptive response by animals to varying environmental conditions. However, the process by which irreversible and reversible traits are coordinated to form an ...

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is characterized by phenotypic alterations, apoptosis, and the breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the superficial articular cartilage cells. The inflammatory response activates the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ERS) signaling pathway, which plays a critical role...

Under diverse stimuli in the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are susceptible to polarize toward an immunosuppressive phenotype. Reprogramming TAMs is a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy. As a downstream molecule of G protein-coupled receptors, the alpha subunit ...

The amygdala is a functionally heterogeneous nuclear complex comprising multiple subnuclei that orchestrate diverse behaviors, making it essential for survival and reproduction. However, the precise neural mechanisms underlying these heterogeneous functions remain elusive, primarily due to limited k...

Parental birds exhibit diverse alternative reproductive strategies; however, the pathways by which these alternative strategies enhance the reproductive success of parents remain poorly understood. Here, we used generalised linear mixed models (GLMMs) and structural equation modelling (SEM) to analy...

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains a major endemic disease in parts of Asia especially Southern China and Southest Asia, the risk factors of which are distinct from other head and neck cancers. Antidiabetic drugs have been proposed to reduce the risk of NPC. The associations between sodium-gluco...

Abstract Dispersal is an individual life-history trait that can influence the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of both the source and recipient populations. Current studies of animal dispersal have paid little attention to how the responses of residents in a recipient population affect the socia...
