Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent form of bone cancer among younger people, particularly children and adolescents. Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic cell death identified by increased levels of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. This study was designed to develop a prognostic model based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with ferroptosis and examined the functions of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in OS cells.

Active switching, which enables multifunctionality within a single optical component, is essential for reconfigurable infrared photonic systems such as radiation engineering, sensing, and communication. Metamaterials offer a solution but involve complex design and fabrication. A simpler approach with a planar layered structure becomes promising for offering economical manufacturing, easier integration, and scalability.

Article Synopsis
  • Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) significantly affects human health and is linked to apoptosis and senescence, but autophagy can help combat these issues.
  • The study found that Spatholobi caulis (SC), an herbal remedy, can enhance autophagy and reduce cell death in Nucleus pulposus cells; however, its absorption in animal studies was poor.
  • To improve its effectiveness, researchers developed a hydrogel combining quaternary ammonium chitosan (QCS) and oxidized starch (OST), which showed promise in enhancing cell viability, promoting tissue repair, and reducing disc degeneration in rats when administered via microneedles.

Quantitative determination of pesticides in fruits and vegetables is essential for human healths. Herein, a new dual-emission carbon dots with high fluorescence stability at a pH range of 4-10 and a temperature range of 0-60 °C was synthesized. And a novel ratiometric fluorescence probe was proposed to detect thiabendazole (TBZ) residue with a wide linear range (0-1000 μM) and low detection limit (0.

Antibiotics play an important role in the treatment of diseases, but bacterial resistance caused by their widespread and unreasonable use has become an urgent problem in clinical treatment. With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the development of nanomedicine has been transformed into a new approach to the problem of bacterial resistance. As a new type of carbon-based nanomaterial, carbon dots (CDs) have attracted the interest of antibacterial researchers due to their ease of preparation, amphiphilicity, facile surface functionalization, and excellent optical properties, among other properties.

Ruthenium-doped amorphous molybdenum dioxide coupled with a reduced graphene oxide hybrid (Ru-MoO@PC/rGO) is synthesized using polyoxometalate-based MOFs/GO as a precursor. Benefitting from the synergistic effect of numerous exposed active sites, Ru dopants and the introduction of GO, the designed catalyst shows exceptional electrocatalytic performance toward the HER in alkaline media.
