Dual-Mode Hybrid Discharge Plasma-Activated Injectable Hydrosol for Enhanced Immunotherapeutic Cancer Therapy.

Adv Healthc Mater

September 2025

Department of Physics, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Department of Biomedical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.

Although cold atmospheric plasma is a promising therapeutic technique for tumor immunotherapy via reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), the challenges associated with the generation and delivery of these RONS hamper clinical adoption. Herein, a dual-mode hybrid discharge plasma-activated sodium alginate hydrosols (PAH) is proposed to enhance the antitumor immune response. Gaseous highly reactive RONS are generated by dual-mode hybrid plasma produced by mixed O and NO modes, which are converted into aqueous RONS in PAH via gas-liquid reactions between plasma and hydrosols.

Unlabelled: The childhood poor in wealthy countries have reported worse cognitive, muscle and mental functions as well as more frailty and multimorbidity as older adults. But it is uncertain whether the childhood poor around the world fall short of attaining healthy ageing because information of childhood conditions is often erroneous. Here I present new evidence on the life course shaping of healthy ageing among older adults around the world.

Effect of short-term exposure to fine particulate matter components on respiratory mortality - evidence from a study of inland cities in China.

Int J Biometeorol

September 2025

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Anhui Medical University, 81 Meishan Road, Hefei, 230032, Anhui, China.

There is a lack of research on the association between fine particulate matter (PM) fractions and respiratory disease mortality. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how short-term exposure to fine particulate matter components affects the mortality risk of patients with respiratory diseases.We collected data on the number of respiratory deaths and fine particulate matter components, including sulfate (SO), nitrate (NO), ammonium (NH), organic matters (OM), and black carbon (BC), in Hefei, Anhui Province, between 2017 and 2020.

HSP90's Function Under Low Temperature Stress.

Biology (Basel)

August 2025

State Key Laboratory of Mariculture Biobreeding and Sustainable Goods, Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China.

Molecular chaperones, especially heat shock proteins (HSPs) have vital functions in cells' responses to stress. Here, we cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA encoding HSP90 () from the shrimp . The cDNA comprised 3162 bp, including a 2172 bp coding region encoding a 724 amino acid-protein (predicted molecular mass = 83.

Cell death is a conserved innate disease resistance response of brown algae against the oomycete .

iScience

September 2025

The Scottish Association for Marine Science, Scottish Marine Institute, Culture Collection for Algae and Protozoa, Oban, Argyll PA37 1QA, Scotland.

Brown algae (Phaeophyta) encompass key primary producers of temperate and cold coastal seas, such as kelps, the cultivation of which is rapidly expanding worldwide. Here, we show that across ten brown algal species, innate resistance against the intracellular oomycete pathogen is mediated by local cell death and accompanied by cell-wide deposition of β1-3 glucans and fluorescent metabolites, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and the expression of programmed cell death (PCD) markers. This response also occurs in compatible strains for a fraction of the infected algal cells, which makes it a quantitative trait.
