Smartphone-Aided Colorimetric Assay: Enhanced Peroxidase Mimicking Activity of Quasi Cube-Like 2D-Co-MOF/CN Label-Free Nanozyme for Selective/Visual Recognition of 4,4'-(propane-2,2-diyl)diphenol.

To ensure environmental safety, it is essential to monitor bisphenol A (BPA), as it poses health hazards. In this study, we report a novel, sustainable binary 2D Co-MOF/CN nanozyme that functions as a bipurpose material with both peroxidase-mimic activity and BPA-specific detection capability. The Co sites and sp hybridized carbon demonstrate remarkable Fenton-like reactions, effectively promoting the transformation of 4,4'-diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl (TMB) into oxidized TMB.

Multi-Active Sites Loaded NiCu-MOF@MWCNTs as a Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Electrochemical Water Splitting Reaction.

Water can be sustainably and ecologically converted by electrocatalysts into hydrogen and oxygen, which, in turn, can be converted into energy. However, the advancement of using water as green energy is hampered by limitations in the study of high-performance catalysts. The purpose of this study was to construct an electrocatalyst by anchoring well-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on nickel-copper (NiCu-MOF) nanoblocks through a simple solvothermal method.

'M' mechanics for midline diastema correction in mixed dentition.

Maxillary midline diastema is a self-correcting anomaly which in few conditions may get retained in adolescence stage due to various aetiological factors and correction of which is usually done at permanent dentition stage. The persistence of midline diastema can be predicted in mixed dentition period and necessary management could be provided at the mixed dentition period. This case report is on a novel technique using 'M' spring to correct the midline diastema in mixed dentition period.

Rational design of α-MnO/HT-GCN nanocomposite for effective photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin and pernicious activity.

The present study is mainly concerned with the development of cost-efficient composite material utilized to produce one-dimensional manganese oxide (α-MnO) nanoparticles coated on two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitrides (HT-GCN) as nanocomposite (α-MnO/HT-GCN) for highly efficient CIP degradation. The α-MnO nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal technique before being decorated on HT-GCN (H denotes protonation and T represents thermal-decomposition-graphitic carbon nitride). Tauc plots were used to calculate the band gap values of the photocatalysts α-MnO (1.

Anti-inflammatory and memory-enhancing properties of Chinese herbal extracts: The possible application in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive brain disease that causes cognitive impairment in seniors. The beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles are two pathological hallmarks of AD. The increase of AD hallmarks causes inflammatory response enhancement, reduction of synaptic plasticity, and impaired cognition.

Attenuation of HECT-E3 ligase expression rescued memory deficits in 3xTg-AD mice.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common progressive neurodegenerative disorders that cause deterioration of cognitive functions. Recent studies suggested that the accumulation of inflammatory molecules and impaired protein degradation mechanisms might both play a critical role in the progression of AD. Autophagy is a major protein degradation pathway that can be controlled by several HECT-E3 ligases, which then regulates the expression of inflammatory molecules.

Behavioral and Synaptic Phenotypes of Female Mice.

Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is expressed throughout the brain, including the hippocampus, where it plays a potential role in synaptic regulation and forming emotional and spatial memories. PRDX6 is predominantly detected in the female mouse's hippocampus; thus, we investigate the effect of the gene on behavioral phenotypes and synaptic functions using female knockout () mice. Our results demonstrate that female mice exhibited anxiety-like behavior, enhanced contextual fear memory, and impaired spatial memory.

Age and gender differences for the behavioral phenotypes of 3xTg alzheimer's disease mice.

The triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease (3xTg-AD) strain is a common mouse model used for studying the pathology and mechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The 3xTg-AD strain exhibits two hallmarks of AD, amyloid beta (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles. Several studies using different gender and age of 3xTg-AD mice to investigate their behavior phenotypes under the influence of various treatments have reported mixed results.

Enhanced contextual fear memory in peroxiredoxin 6 knockout mice is associated with hyperactivation of MAPK signaling pathway.

Fear dysregulation is one of the symptoms found in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients. The functional abnormality of the hippocampus is known to be implicated in the development of such pathology. Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) belongs to the peroxiredoxin family.

The 4-(Phenylsulfanyl) butan-2-one Improves Impaired Fear Memory Retrieval and Reduces Excessive Inflammatory Response in Triple Transgenic Alzheimer's Disease Mice.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by an excessive inflammatory response and impaired memory retrieval, including spatial memory, recognition memory, and emotional memory. Acquisition and retrieval of fear memory help one avoid dangers and natural threats. Thus, it is crucial for survival.

Modulation of microglia activation and Alzheimer's disease: CX3 chemokine ligand 1/CX3CR and P2XR signaling.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive deficits. Two hallmarks of AD that cause chronic inflammation and lead to neuronal dysfunction and damage are tau tangles and amyloid plaques. Microglial cells, the primary immune cells of the central nervous system, maintain a homeostatic active/inactive state via a bidirectional, dynamic communication with neurons.
