Article Abstract

Charge transport signatures of a carbon-based molecular switch consisting of different tautomers of metal-free porphyrin embedded between graphene nanoribbons is studied by combining electronic structure and nonequilibrium transport. Different low-energy and low-bias features are revealed, including negative differential resistance (NDR) and antiresonances, both mediated by subtle quantum interference effects. Moreover, the molecular junctions can display moderate rectifying or nonlinear behavior depending on the position of the hydrogen atoms within the porphyrin core. We rationalize the mechanism leading to NDR and antiresonances by providing a detailed analysis of transmission pathways and frontier molecular orbital distribution.

Noncoding RNA regulatory networks play crucial roles in human breast cancer. The aim of this study was to establish a network containing multi-type RNAs and RBPs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Differential expression analyses of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and genes were performed using the GEO2R tool.

Vδ1 γδ T cells are key players in innate and adaptive immunity, particularly at mucosal interfaces such as the gut. An increase in circulating Vδ1 cells has long been observed in people with HIV-1, but remains poorly understood. We performed a comprehensive characterization of Vδ1 T cells in blood and duodenal intra-epithelial lymphocytes, obtained from endoscopic mucosal biopsies of 15 people with HIV-1 on antiretroviral therapy and 15 HIV-seronegative controls, in a substudy of the ANRS EP61 GALT study (NCT02906137).

The explanation for how acutely stressful experiences could result in proximal health outcomes has been lacking in occupational health research. Although scholars have argued that individual personality and affect could worsen health behaviors, we believe that these qualities also could intensify the experience of acute stressors, potentially explaining why acutely stress encounters result in poor health outcomes for some people, but not others. Our study examines three individual differences - worry, negative affect, and positive affect - that are relevant to differential stress anticipation, reactivity, and recovery.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by chronic progressive damage to the retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) and their axons, leading to gradual visual function loss. Currently, the gold standards for structural and functional assessment of the retina in glaucoma are static automated perimetry (SAP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, in clinical practice, data from SAP and OCT may be insufficient to reliably determine the stage of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, monitor its progression, or differentiate it from other causes of visual dysfunction.

This study investigates the reparative effect of electroacupuncture on myocardial fibrosis (MF) in mice and explores its impact on intestinal flora and metabolism profile. This examines an investigation into the biological mechanisms underlying electroacupuncture's efficacy in treating MF in mice. Twenty-four male Kunming mice (27-34 g) were randomized into three groups: normal control (NC,  = 8), MF model (MF,  = 8), and electroacupuncture treatment (EA,  = 8).
