Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neurotoxic amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition in the brain. Neurons can internalize and exocytose Aβ; however, the molecular pathways governing Aβ release remain poorly understood. To identify key regulators of Aβ42 transport, we applied formaldehyde cross-linking of protein complexes combined with co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis to identify TMED10 as a novel Aβ42-interacting protein.

Background: UNC13D deficiency is the most common form of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) in Asia. Hypogammaglobulinemia is a rare phenotype observed in both patients with FHL3 and sporadic hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Our observations suggest that UNC13D deficiency with hypogammaglobulinemia presents a distinct clinical phenotype compared to other HLH patients.

Despite clinical advances in the hepatic delivery of mRNA using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), current strategies for extrahepatic-organ-selective mRNA delivery still have limitations. Here we report a peptide-encoded organ-selective targeting (POST) method for the delivery of mRNA to extrahepatic organs after systemic administration, which is based on the modular tuning of LNPs through surface engineering with specific amino acid sequences (POST codes).

To develop a method for determining the antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) activity of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) based on the reporter gene assay, we established an ADCP activity assay with Jurkat/NFAT/FcγRIIa cells as the effector cells and BT474 as the target cells. Then, the target cell density, the ratio of effector to target cells, the target cell adhesion time, the incubation time for drug administration, and the induction time after adding effector cells were optimized by the method of design of experiment (DOE). The method showed a significant dose-response relationship, which was complied with the four-parameter equation: =(A-D)/[1+(/C)]+D.

This challenge is compounded by the absence of reliable prognostic biomarkers, which limits the effectiveness of predictive, preventive, and personalized approaches in P-AML management. Emerging evidence has indicated that the aberrant liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) can alter the spatiotemporal coordination of biomolecular condensates, thereby contributing to tumorigenesis and progression.

Electrocatalytic organic oxidation emerge as energy-efficient alternatives to conventional oxygen evolution reactions (OER) for sustainable hydrogen coproduction. The design of efficient catalysts and the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of anodic nucleophilic reagent electrooxidation constitute the core of electrochemistry-driven technological advances. Herein, this paper reports a nickel sulfide heterostructure embedded in biomass carbon (NiS-NiS/CC), which exhibits great ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) activity with a current density of 50 mA·cm at 1.

Recently, FPV infection in giant pandas has increased, causing diarrhea and ultimately fatal outcomes, thereby threatening their survival and reproduction. Here, we investigated the transmission of FPV in giant pandas and its interaction with cellular receptors using an FPV strain (pFPV-sc) isolated from giant panda feces.

Notably, this work reports the first MXene-reinforced Oleth10 hydrogel, demonstrating how nanomaterial-surfactant synergy enables adaptive lubrication with 200% rheological enhancement and 35% friction reduction. Both hydrogels were characterized as non-Newtonian fluids with grease-like semisolid behavior, governed by hydrogen bonding and weak physical interactions.

Firstly, the cellulase encapsulated in liposomes was used to construct an efficient enzyme-catalyzed microenvironment. Furthermore, the hydrolysis efficiency of JFS was enhanced by simultaneously activating lignocellulose and in-situ saccharification in ionic liquid (IL).

This study aimed to get insights into the potential mechanisms of how FT impacts QoL through a moderated mediation model and explore the mediating role of loneliness and the moderating role of social support.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey from May to October 2021 was conducted to recruit older adults with cancer aged 60 years and above in Shanghai, China.

This study aimed to integrate the bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment, and summary (BOPPPS) framework with problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), and case-based learning (CBL) to develop a novel instructional model, termed the BOPPPS-integrated model (BIM), and to assess the influences of single and multiple BIM interventions on the competences of undergraduate public health students.
Methods: A two-stage study was conducted by a quasi-experimental pilot study and a cross-sectional survey.
Weight-bearing activity was the primary rehabilitation problem after knee meniscus repair, a scientific weight-bearing protocol was an important guarantee for injury healing and functional improvement. With the popularization of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery, accelerated weight-bearing activities after knee meniscus repair surgery had gradually gained clinical promotion. However, the effectiveness and safety of accelerated weight-bearing activities were still controversial, and the appropriate weight-bearing protocol after knee meniscus repair with different injury types was still unclear.

The phenolic compounds generated from sesame hull lignin roasting contribute to sesame oil quality, yet their formation mechanism remains unclear. In this study, a thermal desorption unit with gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (TDU-GC-MS) was used to simulate the roasting of five lignins isolated from sesame hull: two types of milled wood lignin (MWL-1 and MWL-2), acetic acid lignin (AAL), alkali lignin (AL), and ethanol lignin (EL). The effect of lignin structure on phenolic product formation during roasting was investigated.
