Layered MoS is considered as one of the most promising two-dimensional photocatalytic materials for hydrogen evolution and water splitting; however, the electronic structure at the MoS-liquid interface is so far insufficiently resolved. Measuring and understanding the band offset at the surfaces of MoS are crucial for understanding catalytic reactions and to achieve further improvements in performance. Herein, the heterogeneous charge transfer behavior of MoS flakes of various layer numbers and sizes is addressed with high spatial resolution in organic solutions using the ferrocene/ferrocenium (Fc/Fc) redox pair as a probe in near-field scanning electrochemical microscopy, i.e. in close nm probe-sample proximity. Redox mapping reveals an area and layer dependent reactivity for MoS with a detailed insight into the local processes as band offset and confinement of the faradaic current obtained. In combination with additional characterization methods, we deduce a band alignment occurring at the liquid-solid interface.

Marek's disease (MD), induced by the highly contagious Marek's disease virus (MDV), remains a significant challenge to global poultry health despite extensive vaccination efforts. This study employed integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to investigate liver responses in naturally MDV-infected Wenchang chickens during late infection stages. RNA sequencing identified 959 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the infected and uninfected groups.

Graph neural networks for crystal property prediction typically require precise atomic positions and types, limiting their applicability for novel materials with unknown structures. To address this limitation, we introduce BatteryFormer, a versatile machine learning model that employs average interatomic radius distance instead of precise bond lengths as edge embedding, enabling rapid, high-throughput material screening based solely on composition and structural prototypes. BatteryFormer demonstrates robust predictive performance across a wide range of intervals.

Oxidative DNA damage, characterized by the prominent lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxo-dG), is linked to mutagenesis and genome instability. Accurately mapping these lesions with strand specificity and high resolution remains a major challenge, limiting our understanding of damage dynamics during transcription and repair. Here, we introduce a novel, highly sensitive ligation-dependent probe amplification (LPA) method that enables quantitative, strand-specific analysis of 8-oxo-dG and apurinic (AP) sites at single-nucleotide resolution.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid-4 (TRPV4) and NADPH oxidase-2 (NOX2) assemble into a calcium-redox signalosome that couples membrane mechanosensation to reactive‑oxygen signaling in endothelial cells, osteocytes and other mechanically active tissues. Recent work has mapped the interaction to a 12-residue amphipathic helix on the TRPV4 C-tail that docks onto an eight-residue B-loop motif in NOX2. Diet-induced obesity strengthens this handshake, amplifies vascular superoxide, disrupts barrier integrity and blunts vasodilation, whereas peroxynitrite-driven oxidation of the AKAP150 scaffold can uncouple the partners and raise blood pressure.

Human-bacterial interactions play a crucial role in several essential aspects of life. Here, we describe how a secreted protein from the skin commensal Cutibacterium acnes, RoxP, functions as a sacrificial redox effector molecule that facilitates beneficial interactions with its human host by counteracting oxidative stress and reducing stress-induced inflammation. Using a combination of structural mapping, biophysical binding studies, and in vivo experiments, we demonstrate how RoxP contributes to skin homeostasis by serving as a target for oxidative attack and influencing cytokine signaling.
