Background: Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor with limited treatment options. Although natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy is promising, its efficacy remains limited, necessitating strategies to enhance NK cell cytotoxicity. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition demonstrate potential to enhance NK-mediated killing.

The hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets modified by silane coupling agent (KH560) were doped into acrylic acid coating on the surface of galvanized steel to improve its corrosion resistance. H-BN nanosheets modified by KH560 were prepared and characterised by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance of the acrylic acid coatings was measured by electrochemical testing.
