C/OVs-Ni-Cu-LDHs@MnO tubular micromotors with enzyme-like activity and abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs) were synthesized hydrothermally using kapok as a biotemplate. MnO acted as the micromotor's "driving engine", catalyzing the generation of HO bubbles to provide driving force for the motor, enabling efficient motion (144.45 ± 3.

Herein, a novel hybrid fuel-driven CuFe-CNT/MnO/GOx (GOx, glucose oxidase) micromotor with abundant oxygen vacancy (OV) was successfully constructed for synchronous high-efficiency colorimetric detection and rapid degradation of captopril (CP). Using glucose and low-concentration HO as hybrid fuels, the OV-CuFe-CNT/MnO/GOx micromotor could move at a speed of 107.

However, their practical applications remain constrained by multiple limitations including toxic high-concentration HO requirements, sluggish Fe/Fe redox cycling, and secondary contamination risks from metal ion leaching. Herein, we rationally developed a novel magnetic tubular FeCu@NC/MnO micromotor through multistep fabrication using kapok-derived C microtubes as templates.

The Co active sites can decompose HO to generate bubbles to power UiO-67-Co(bpy). Meanwhile, the UiO-67-Co(bpy) micromotor exhibits robust peroxidase-like activity through catalyzing HO to generate OH under neutral conditions.

Background: Depression is one of the most prevalent mental disorders and causes a serious economic and medical burden on society. This research assessed the correlation between weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) and depression in US adults aged ≥ 20 years.
Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from individuals with complete WCS and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) data who participated in the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Mast cells serve as crucial effector cells within the innate immune system and are predominantly localized in the skin, airways, gastrointestinal tract, urinary and reproductive tracts, as well as in the brain. Under physiological conditions, brain-resident mast cells secrete a diverse array of neuro-regulatory mediators to actively participate in neuroprotection. Meanwhile, as the primary source of molecules causing brain inflammation, mast cells also function as the "first responders" in brain injury.

Activation of the neuroinflammatory response has a pivotal role in PD. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for various nerve injuries, but there are limited reports on their use in PD and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Nanomaterials capable of dual therapeutic effects of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is an efficacious strategy in cancer treatment. It is still a challenge to achieve complete apoptosis of tumor tissue in CDT/PTT due to the poor permeability of nanomaterials in tumor tissue. Herein, we prepared a dual-source driven Pt/FePc@Mn-MOF spindle-like Janus nanomotor by a facile oriented connection growth method for computed tomography (CT) imaging-guided CDT and PTT.

Background: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a critical role in ischemic brain injury by mediating the inflammatory response. The microRNA miR-185-5p suppresses inflammatory signaling by targeting TLR4. This study investigates whether overexpressing miR-182-5p in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) could potentiate the neuroprotective effects of BM-MSCs in a mouse model of ischemic brain injury.

This kind of biomass carbon material sunflower straw with abundant pore structure and sponge-like expansion and contraction functions can not only be used as a source of porous carbon in biomass carbon materials, but also as a carbon carrier with high specific surface area to provide nanoparticle adhesion sites. When it was immersed in the copper phthalocyanine pigment solution, more active sites could be exposed, so that CuPc particles could be uniformly doped and distributed on the porous carbon material.
