Metal-support interactions (MSI) play a crucial role in enhancing the catalytic activity and stability of metal catalysts by establishing a stable metal-oxide interface. However, precisely controlling MSI at the atomic scale remains a significant challenge, as how to construct an optimal MSI is still not fully understood: Both insufficient and excessive MSI showed inferior catalytic performance. In this study, we propose finely tuning MSI using temporal-precise transient high-temperature pulse heating. Using Pt/CeO as a model system, we systematically investigate how variations in pulse duration and atmosphere influence the reconstruction of the metal-support interface and MSIs. This leads to the formation of two distinct types of MSI: (1) strong MSI (SMSI, Pt@CeO) and (2) reactive MSI (RMSI, PtCe@CeO), each with unique compositions, structures, and electrochemical behaviors. Notably, PtCe@CeO with RMSI exhibits remarkable catalytic performance in the alkaline hydrogen evolution, showing an overpotential of -29 mV and stable operation for over 300 h at -10 mA·cm. Theoretical studies reveal that alloying Pt with Ce to form PtCe modifies the electronic structure of Pt, shifting the d-band center to optimize the adsorption and dissociation of intermediates, thereby reducing the reaction energy barrier. Moreover, the intimate interaction of PtCe with CeO further improves the activity and stability. Our strategy enables precise, stepwise, and controllable regulation of MSIs, providing insights for the development of highly efficient and durable heterostructured catalysts with optimal MSI for a wide range of catalytic applications.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can re-active the immune response and induce a complete response in mismatch repair-deficient and microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC). However, most CRCs exhibit proficient mismatch repair and microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) phenotypes with limited immunotherapy response because of sparse intratumoral CD8 T-lymphocyte infiltration. Cellular senescence has been reported to involve immune cell infiltration through a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Deciphering the multicomponent of cell membranes at the single-cell level is critical for understanding pathological mechanisms such as tumor metastasis, yet remains technically daunting due to the membrane's nanoscale thickness and ultralow molecular abundance. Here, we introduce a surface-assisted vacuum ultraviolet laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry imaging (SAVUVDI-MSI) platform that overcomes long-standing challenges of cytoplasmic interference and insufficient sensitivity. Leveraging the nanoscale depth profiling capability of VUV-LDI, we achieve precise ablation of a single-cell membrane.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a label-free technique that enables the visualization of the spatial distribution of thousands of ions within biosamples. Data denoising is the computational strategy aimed at enhancing the MSI data quality, providing an effective alternative to experimental methods. However, due to the complex noise pattern inherent in MSI data and the difficulty in obtaining ground truth from noise-free data, achieving reliable denoised images remains challenging.

The Werner syndrome RecQ helicase (WRN) has recently emerged as a novel synthetic lethality target for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers. However, available WRN inhibitors or degraders is still lacking so far. Particularly, chemically designed probes capable of degrading WRN irrespective of microsatellite status remain unexplored.

Background: Endometrial carcinoma (EC) represents a significant clinical challenge due to its pronounced molecular heterogeneity, directly influencing prognosis and therapeutic responses. Accurate classification of molecular subtypes (CNV-high, CNV-low, MSI-H, POLE) and precise tumor mutational burden (TMB) assessment is crucial for guiding personalized therapeutic interventions. Integrating proteomics data with advanced machine learning (ML) techniques offers a promising strategy for achieving precise, clinically actionable classification and biomarker discovery in EC.
