Widening the bandgaps while maintaining a strong second harmonic generation response has always been a research hotspot in the field of nonlinear optical iodate materials. A strategy involving covalent bonding is proposed that leverages the high valent later main group cation to construct iodates with predominantly covalent interactions. By using BiO(IO) as a template, the first Sb-containing polar iodate, SbO(OH)(IO) is successfully isolated. The introduction of the two hydroxide anions led to the reduction of layered BiO(IO) into 1D SbO(OH)(IO) in which two corner-sharing SbO(OH) octahedra are further bridged by an iodate group. The covalently bonded [SbO(OH)] chains and the optimal packing fashion of the asymmetric IO groups generate a very strong second harmonic generation signal of 14 times that of KHPO. Furthermore, SbO(OH)(IO) exhibits a wide bandgap of 4.14 eV and a high laser induced damage threshold [27.9 × AgGaS, 0.2 × KHPO (10 ns, 10 Hz)].

B-lymphocytes play major adaptive immune roles, producing antibody and driving T-cell responses. However, how immunometabolism networks support B-cell activation and differentiation in response to distinct receptor stimuli remains incompletely understood. To gain insights, we systematically investigated acute primary human B-cell transcriptional, translational and metabolomic responses to B-cell receptor (BCR), Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), CD40-ligand (CD40L), interleukin-4 (IL4) or combinations thereof.

The β-adrenergic receptor (βAR), a prototype G protein-coupled receptor, controls cardiopulmonary function underpinning O delivery. Abundance of the βAR is canonically regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases and β-arrestins, but neither controls constitutive receptor levels, which are dependent on ambient O. Basal βAR expression is instead regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase/pVHL-E3 ubiquitin ligase system, explaining O responsivity.

MS4A4A belongs to the MS4A tetraspan protein superfamily and is selectively expressed by the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of MS4A4A+ macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis and response to treatment. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry of synovial samples from either early treatment-naïve or active chronic RA patients showed that MS4A4A expression positively correlated with synovial inflammation.

Climate change is expected to pose significant threats to public health, particularly vector-borne diseases. Despite dramatic recent increases in dengue that many anecdotally connect with climate change, the effect of anthropogenic climate change on dengue remains poorly quantified. To assess this link, we assembled local-level data on dengue across 21 countries in Asia and the Americas.
