Articular cartilage, owing to the lack of undifferentiated stem cells after injury, faces significant challenges in reconstruction and repair, making it a major clinical challenge. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a multifunctional hydrogels capable of recruiting autologous stem cells to achieve cartilage regeneration. Here, our study investigated the potential of a piezoelectric hydrogel (Hyd) for enhancing cartilage regeneration through ultrasound (US) stimulation.

Background: Neuropathic pain resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with persistent hyperactivity of primary nociceptors. Anandamide (AEA) has been reported to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission through activation of cannabinoid type-1 receptors (CB1Rs) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). However, the role of AEA and these receptors in the hyperactivity of nociceptors after SCI remains unclear.

  • Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas that affects climate change and ozone levels, with its production influenced by temperature in estuarine waters.
  • Researchers found that nearshore regions have higher optimal temperatures for NO production than offshore areas, indicating a differential response to temperature.
  • The study highlights that ammonia-oxidizing bacteria play a key role in NO production, and both temperature and salinity impact their effectiveness, providing insights into how global warming may affect NO emissions in estuaries.

is a hypermetamorphic insect whose adults feed on oilseed rape. However, due to a shortage of effective and appropriate endogenous references, studies on molecular functional genes in , have been tremendously limited. In this study, ten internal reference genes (, , , , , , , , and ) were tested and assessed under four selected treatments including adult ages, adult tissues, temperatures, and sex by RT-qPCR based on five methods (Ct value, geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and RefFinder).

Organic-inorganic hybrid linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have received increasingly wide spread attention in recent years. Herein, the first hybrid noncentrosymmetric (NCS) borophosphate, (CHN)BO(HPO) (4PBP), is rationally designed and synthesized by a covalent-linkage strategy. 4-pyridyl-boronic acid (4 PB) is considered as a bifunctional unit, which may effectively improve the optical properties and stability of the resultant material.

Based on the PM samples from Weinan City collected from December 16, 2020 to January 14, 2021, the contamination characteristics of the carbonaceous components and inorganic ions in PM and the relationship between PM and water-soluble ions were analyzed. Meanwhile, the sources and source areas were also analyzed by using the positive matrix factorization(PMF), potential source contribution factor(PSCF), and concentration weight trajectory(CWT) methods. The results showed that the night and daytime concentrations of PM, OC, EC, and TWSIIs during the winter in Weinan City were 119.

  • Coastal wetlands are significant sources of nitrous oxide (NO), but copper chemicals that reduce NO emissions can harm local ecosystems.
  • A study investigated the effects of chalcopyrite, a natural mineral, on denitrifying bacteria in coastal wetlands, finding that it reduced NO emissions while increasing nitrogen production.
  • Chalcopyrite application in wetland sediments led to decreased NO flux, with no harmful levels of dissolved copper, indicating its potential for reducing NO emissions in broader environmental applications.

Birefringent crystals can modulate and detect the polarization of light and are important optical functional materials. The birefringence is positively correlated to the anisotropy of the structure. By partially substituting sulfate anion with large electronegative fluorine in the parent compound Y(SO)·8HO, a new fluorinated rare-earth sulfate YSOF·HO with enhanced anisotropy was achieved.

A new birefringent crystal of SbO(TeO)(HSO)(OH) was achieved by incorporating two stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) cations of Sb(III) and Te(IV) into sulfates simultaneously. The Sb and Te ions display highly distorted coordination environments due to the SCALP effect. SbO(TeO)(HSO)(OH) displays a 3D structure composed of [SbO(TeO)(OH)] layers bridged by [SO(OH)] tetrahedra.
