Manganese-based halide perovskites have gradually become a focus point for exploring photoluminescent materials due to their attractive electronic and photophysical properties. However, little attention has been paid to the dual-emission and thermochromic phenomena in all-inorganic Mn-based materials. In this study, Sn-doped CsMnBrCl is synthesized at room temperature, which exhibits bright yellow emission, with two broad emission peaks at 525 and 605 nm, corresponding to full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 92 and 91 nm, respectively.

We proposed an interpretable Attention-Gated Recurrent Unit (AT-GRU) model that integrates water quality, meteorological, and hydrological data from the semi-arid Dahei River Basin, to improve prediction accuracy and transparency of results. The model achieved superior daily-scale prediction accuracy (average R = 0.

Here, we report the development of a novel, long-chain fatty acid (FA), near-infrared (NIR) imaging reagent (FA-ICG) for real-time, non-invasive imaging of FA absorption in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we demonstrate the application of the probe in image-guided cancer surgery, where precise assessment of tumor margins is paramount for removal.

However, the genetic mechanism of carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which is one of the photosynthetic pigments of rice, affecting tillering of rice is rarely studied.
Objective: This study elucidates the roles of OsFT in photosynthesis and carotenoid biosynthesis, and the synergistic regulation of rice tillering by SL and ABA, providing a theoretical basis for breeding high-yielding, drought-resistant rice varieties.

Submergence tolerance is crucial for the direct seeding of rice, yet long-term domestication and breeding have inadvertently reduced the adaptability of cultivated rice to submergence stress. Here, we identify a nucleic acid excision repair protein-encoding gene qSHS5 as an essential regulator of seedling height under submergence through a genome-wide association study in 322 rice accessions. Disruption of qSHS5 in mutants resulted in seedling growth inhibition under submergence, while growth remains comparable to wild-type under normal conditions.

Grain size is one of the key factors determining grain weight and yield. However, it remains largely unknown how the auxin signal regulates grain size in rice. Here, a quantitative trait locus qGL1 for grain length was identified with recombinant inbred lines 9311 and Nipponbare (NIP), and fine-mapped to the OsABCB4 gene, which encodes a member of the ATP Binding Cassette B (ABCB) subfamily.

The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a ubiquitous non-protein amino acid in plants and animals, exhibits diverse biological activities and holds promise in human disease prevention and treatment. Prior studies have shown that germination could substantially elevate GABA levels in rice, but these investigations typically focused on limited germplasms, hindering the generalization of their findings. This study aims to identify optimal conditions for enriching GABA in a diverse set of 225 rice germplasms by examining the effects of various germination times, temperatures, and soaking solution pH levels, while elucidating the key factors influencing GABA enrichment in germinated brown rice.

Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice is a requirement for future sustainable agricultural production. However, key factors and regulatory networks involved in NUE remain unclear. Here, QTL analysis, fine-mapping and functional validation demonstrated that qCR4 encodes a putative high-affinity nitrate transporter-activating protein 2.

Osteoarthritis is a systemic disease that primarily damages articular cartilage and also affects the synovium, ligaments, and bone tissues. The key mechanisms involved are chondrocyte death and degradation of the extracellular matrix. This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with ferroptosis and investigate their roles in the development of osteoarthritis.

Precise temporal control of sensorimotor coordination and adaptation is a fundamental basis of animal behavior. How different brain regions are involved in regulating the flexible temporal adaptation remains elusive. Here, we investigated the neuronal dynamics of the cerebellar interposed nucleus (IpN) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) neurons during temporal adaptation between delay eyeblink conditioning (DEC) and trace eyeblink conditioning (TEC).

Background: Glioblastoma is an aggressive and incurable type of brain cancer. Little progress has been made in the development of effective new therapies in the past decades. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and drug efflux pumps, which together hamper drug delivery to these tumors, play a pivotal role in the gap between promising preclinical findings and failure in clinical trials.

The immune system requires a high energy expenditure to resist pathogen invasion. Macrophages undergo metabolic reprogramming to meet these energy requirements and immunologic activity and polarize to M1-type macrophages. Understanding the metabolic pathway switching in large yellow croaker () macrophages in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and whether this switching affects immunity is helpful in explaining the stronger immunity of hypoxia-tolerant .
