Article Abstract
In this Research Article, gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC), which is a highly catalyzed oxide ionic conductor, was explored to further improve oxygen surface reaction rates using a grain-controlled layer (GCL) concept. Typically, GDC materials have been used as a cathode functional layer by coating the GDC between the electrode and electrolyte to accelerate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To further improve the oxygen surface kinetics of the GDC cathodic layer, we modified the grain boundary density and crystallinity developed in the GDC layer by adjusting RF power conditions during the sputtering process. This approach revealed that engineered nanograins of GDC thin films directly affected ORR kinetics by catalyzing the oxygen surface reaction rate, significantly enhancing the fuel cell performance. Using this innovative concept, the fuel cells fabricated with a GDC GCL demonstrated a peak power density of 240 mW/cm at 450 °C.

Biochar has emerged as a promising soil amendment for improving soil quality and mitigating environmental impacts, such as nutrient leaching. This study evaluated the impacts of ball-milled bamboo nano-biochar on water infiltration dynamics, retention capacity, and nitrogen‑phosphorus leaching in sandy loam soil using controlled column experiments and leaching experiments with five application doses alongside bulk biochar and untreated controls. Experimental results demonstrated that nano-biochar application significantly enhanced soil water retention capacity compared to the raw soil.

Oxidative stress, driven by excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), induces widespread biomolecular damage through the oxidation of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, contributing to the onset and progression of numerous inflammatory diseases. Among these, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) are widely recognized as biomarkers of lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage, respectively. In this study, we have investigated the potential of lactoferrin, an innate immune glycoprotein with established antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, to modulate the activity of these reactive byproducts.

Despite the tremendous potential of cancer immunotherapy, its clinical benefits remain limited. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune responses rely on the secretion of perforin and granzyme B (GZMB) to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. The mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR) on tumor cell membranes can recognize GZMB and promote its internalization in a perforin-independent manner.
