Recent advances in transition metal sulfide-based electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Supercapacitors, as highly promising charge storage systems, have attracted much attention due to their fast charging and discharging rates, high power density, and longer service life. However, compared to rechargeable batteries, the low energy density of supercapacitors limits their practical applications. Rational design of advanced electrode materials shows great potential to address the above issue.

TWIST1 and BMI1 in Cancer Metastasis and Chemoresistance.

Purpose Increasing evidences revealed that cancer cells with the characteristics of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) or cancer stem cells (CSC) have high ability of progression, invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance. TWIST1 and BMI1 are crucial transcription factors required for EMT and CSC. Both TWIST1 and BMI1 are up-regulated in various cancers and have a positive correlation with poor prognosis.
