Reducing Structural Distortion by Tailoring Orbital Interactions in High-Voltage Polyanionic Cathodes.

The structural distortion of electrode materials in battery systems usually results in the structure degradation and capacity fading upon cycling. However, the fundamental mechanism about the structural distortion remains elusive. A critical issue has emerged concerning the utilization of high-voltage potassium vanadium fluorophosphate compound (KVPOF) as a competitive cathode material for potassium-ion battery applications.

The study of the random evolutionary game model and policy effects of carbon information disclosure by Chinese listed companies.

As global attention to environmental sustainability increases, corporate environmental information disclosure has become a key driver of environmental governance. Based on public choice theory, this paper constructs a random evolutionary game model for environmental information disclosure by Chinese listed companies, analyzing the interactions and policy effects of the government, enterprises, and the public in the disclosure process. Public choice theory emphasizes that the behavior of the government, enterprises, and the public is driven by self-interest, and that their interactions through the game process determine the transparency of environmental information.

Angular distributions of single-photon and above-threshold detachment of sulfur hexafluoride anions in femtosecond laser fields.

Rapid and Scalable Preparation of High-Crystalline Carboxyl-Functionalized Covalent Triazine Frameworks via Friedel-Crafts Reaction.

The Friedel-Crafts reaction has been extensively applied to the preparation of various porous organic polymers because of its simple operation and abundant building blocks.

Advancements in the study of acute lung injury resulting from intestinal ischemia/reperfusion.

Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion is a prevalent pathological process that can result in intestinal dysfunction, bacterial translocation, energy metabolism disturbances, and subsequent harm to distal tissues and organs via the circulatory system.

Mendelian randomization combined with multi-omics explores the relationship between heart failure and cancer.

: Whether there is an association between HF (HF) and cancer has not been conclusively established, and it is not clear whether patients with cancer can share similar hospitalization strategies and outcomes with patients with HF. Genome-wide association summary statistics were performed using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method for HF patients and cancer patients from the GWAS directory, with co-localization and Summary Data-Based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) analyses to identify HF-associated genes, and transcriptomic analyses to analyze the roles of these genes in the clinical diagnosis and targeted therapies of multiple cancer types. Two-sample MR analysis showed that increased risk of HF was associated with decreased risk of cervical, brain, breast, colorectal, lung, and skin cancers, and co-localization combined with SMR analysis identified ABO and SURF1 as HF-associated genes, and transcriptomic analyses showed that ABO is a risk factor for HF and a protective factor against cancer, whereas SURF1 is a protective factor against HF and a protective factor against cancer.

How mesenchymal stem cells transform into adipocytes: Overview of the current understanding of adipogenic differentiation.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stem/progenitor cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes. The transformation of multipotent MSCs to adipocytes mainly involves two subsequent steps from MSCs to preadipocytes and further preadipocytes into adipocytes, in which the process MSCs are precisely controlled to commit to the adipogenic lineage and then mature into adipocytes. Previous studies have shown that the master transcription factors C/enhancer-binding protein alpha and peroxisome proliferation activator receptor gamma play vital roles in adipogenesis.
