Summary: In this study, a core-shell structure was designed by coating SrZrO3-BiMg0.5Sn0.5O3 (SZ-BMS) on the surface of Na0.4K0.1Bi0.5TiO3 (NKBT) and then coating SiO2 glass to prepare NKBT@(SZ-BMS)@SiO2 ceramics. The SZ-BMS phase played multiple roles in alleviating interfacial polarization, domain reconstruction, and defect regulation, while the outer SiO2 layer benefited grain size refinement and defect control. The ceramics achieved high breakdown strength of 301 kV/cm and polarization of 29.1 mu C/cm² when the BMS amount was 15 mol%. Ultimately, large recoverable energy density of 3.94 J/cm³ with high efficiency of 87.1% were obtained, along with ultra-wide temperature stability and excellent thermal endurance.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms of brazilin-induced cell death in T24 bladder cancer cells and found that brazilin induced necrosis and upregulated the expression of necroptosis-related genes and proteins. Brazilin also repressed caspase 8 expression and decreased mitochondrial membrane potentials. These findings suggest that brazilin induces cell death in bladder cancer cells through necroptosis and may be explored as an anticancer agent.

Summary: The study investigated the utilization of an arabinogalactan from Lycium barbarum (LBP-3) by intestinal Bacteroidetes species. The results showed that Bacteroides caccae and Phocaeicola vulgatus utilized more LBP-3 compared to other species. In addition, different preferences for arabinose and galactose were observed during the fermentation process. The study also identified oligosaccharides produced by B. caccae and P. vulgatus and demonstrated the proliferation of various Parabacteroides species in the presence of B. caccae and P. vulgatus.

Summary: The effects of differently charged anions (NaCl, NaBr, NaI, Na2SO4, and Na3PO4) on the gel properties and structure of the fucoidan/kappa-carrageenan mixed gel (FC) were investigated through various techniques. Cl- and Br- stabilized the gel's conformation, while SO42- and PO43- weakened the gel's strength, and I- softened the gel. With increasing anion concentration, electrostatic repulsion between FUC and KC was enhanced. The addition of anions affected the gel's water migration and microstructure. Overall, this study provides a theoretical basis for the design of FUC-based gels.

Summary: Nerve injury-induced Schwann cell dedifferentiation promotes axon growth by creating a favorable microenvironment. Transcription factor BCL11A plays a crucial role in Schwann cell reprogramming during peripheral nerve regeneration. Silencing Bcl11a reduces Schwann cell viability, proliferation, migration rates, and debris clearance ability. Bcl11a deficiency leads to restricted axon elongation and myelin wrapping, resulting in failed recovery. Mechanistically, BCL11A regulates Schwann cell activity by binding to the Nr2f2 promoter and modulating Nr2f2 expression. In conclusion, BCL11A is essential for Schwann cell activation and peripheral nerve regeneration, making it a potential therapeutic target for peripheral nerve injury treatment.

Summary: Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and effective chemopreventive drugs are urgently needed. In this study, vortioxetine hydrobromide, an FDA-approved drug, is found to be a dual JAK2/SRC inhibitor and shows inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cell proliferation. This drug binds directly to JAK2 and SRC kinases, suppressing their activities and subsequently inhibiting the growth of gastric cancer. These findings suggest that vortioxetine hydrobromide has potential in the chemoprevention of gastric cancer.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the biological functions and regulatory mechanism of circ_0006220 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was found that circ_0006220 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and cells. Silencing circ_0006220 inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of NSCLC cells, and induced cell apoptosis. Circ_0006220 acted as a sponge for miR-342-3p and upregulated the expression of GOT2 by sponging miR-342-3p, promoting the malignant behaviors of NSCLC cells.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
