Boosting Ni-Rich Cathode Stability Through Grain Boundary Strengthening and Phase Transition Degradation Suppression.

Nickel-rich layered cathodes are promising for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries but suffer from rapid capacity fading, primarily due to intergranular cracking and structural degradation during the H2-H3 phase transition, especially under high voltage. To address these challenges, a novel Ta/Ti co-doping strategy has been introduced that simultaneously stabilizes grain boundaries and enhances the mechanical strength of the cathode. The dopants effectively mitigate intergranular cracking and form a pre-cation-mixing layer, stabilizing the layered structure during deep delithiation and preventing structural collapse.

Hydrothermally-targeted synthesis of Al-substituted tobermorite using MSWI fly ash with industrial SiO for potentially high-quality utilization.

Al-substituted tobermorite (TOB) can be synthesized as a value-added product through hydrothermal treatment (HT) using incineration fly ash (IFA) with an exogenous additive. However, extreme conditions and low purity limit its further use. To solve these issues, we explored the potential of industrial SiO (i-SiO) in synthesizing Al-substituted TOB using IFA from two megacities: Shanghai (IFA-H) and Shenzhen (IFA-Z).

Genetic and molecular mechanisms of hydrocephalus.

Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition caused by aberrant circulation and/or obstructed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow after cerebral ventricle abnormal dilatation. In the past 50 years, the diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus have remained understudied and underreported, and little progress has been made with respect to prevention or treatment. Further research on the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus is essential for developing new diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies.

Genome-wide identification and functional characterization of CLG family genes reveal likely roles in epidermal development in Arabidopsis.

We identified a CXCXCPXC motif and 11 CLG genes that regulate epidermal development by interacting with homeodomain leucine-zipper IV family proteins in Arabidopsis. Zinc finger proteins (ZFPs), the key regulators of plant growth and development, can be categorized based on the sequence patterns of zinc finger motifs. Here, by aligning the amino acid sequences of CFL1, AtCFL1, AtCFL2, GIRl, and GIR2, we identified the CXCXCPXC motif in their C-terminus, which differs from all the previously characterized canonical zinc finger motifs.

Pathological roles of ubiquitination and deubiquitination systems in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a severe complication of sepsis, characterized by impaired cardiac function and high mortality rates. Despite significant advances in understanding sepsis pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms underlying SIMD remain incompletely elucidated. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination, critical post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulating protein stability, localization, and activity, play pivotal roles in cellular processes, such as inflammation, apoptosis, mitochondrial function, and calcium handling.

Progressive histological and behavioral deterioration of a novel mouse model of secondary hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Hydrocephalus commonly occurs after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and is associated with increased morbidity and disability in patients with SAH. Choroid plexus cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypersecretion, obliterative arachnoiditis occluding the arachnoid villi, lymphatic obstruction, subarachnoid fibrosis, and glymphatic system injury are considered the main pathological mechanisms of hydrocephalus after SAH. Although the mechanisms of hydrocephalus after SAH are increasingly being revealed, the clinical prognosis of SAH still has not improved significantly.

METTL3/YTHDF1-mediated mA modification stabilizes USP12 to deubiquitinate FOXO3 and promote apoptosis in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a life-threatening complication primarily driven by inflammation, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identified significant upregulation of the mA methyltransferase METTL3 (methyltransferase-like 3), the mA reader protein YTHDF1 (YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1), as well as increased expression levels of USP12 (ubiquitin-specific peptidase 12), FOXO3 (forkhead box O3), and key molecules in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) and BAX (Bcl-2-associated X), through proteomic profiling in an LPS (Lipopolysaccharide)-induced SIMD mouse model. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that METTL3 and YTHDF1 regulated USP12 mRNA expression and stability through mA modification.

GSSCL: A framework for Graph Self-Supervised Curriculum Learning based on clustering label smoothing.

Graph self-supervised learning is an effective technique for learning common knowledge from unlabeled graph data through pretext tasks. To capture the interrelationships between nodes and their essential roles globally, existing methods use clustering labels as self-supervised signals. However, in some cases, these methods may introduce noise, leading to over-fitting of the model and a reduction in performance.

The WOX9-WUS modules are indispensable for the maintenance of stem cell homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The dynamic balance between the self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells in plants is precisely regulated by a series of developmental regulated genes that exhibit spatiotemporal-specific expression patterns.
