Article Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) oxidation reaction (HPOR) and reduction reaction (HPRR) play vital roles in various innovative HO-related electrochemical energy conversion systems. Understanding the interactions of HO with catalyst surfaces and its impact on HPOR/HPRR activity at the working potential is essential for the further development of these HO-related systems. Herein, we investigate the effects of the HO concentration on the HPOR/HPRR activities for Pt/C catalysts and reveal the complex influence of HO on the oxygen coverage of the Pt surface at various potentials. In addition, we find that the apparent number of electrons transferred at the HPRR potential differs from its theoretical value, which is attributed to the release of unreacted hydroxyl radicals via the chemical dissociation of HO at the Pt surface. These findings expand our understanding of the interactions of HO and Pt/C catalysts at the electrochemical interface for HPOR and HPRR, providing valuable insights into the underlying reaction mechanisms.

Emerging evidence indicates that liquid-liquid phase separation of α-synuclein occurs during the nucleation step of its aggregation, a pivotal step in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Elucidating the molecular determinants governing this process is essential for understanding the pathological mechanisms of diseases and developing therapeutic strategies that target early-stage aggregation. While previous studies have identified residues critical for α-synuclein amyloid formation, the key residues and molecular drivers of its phase separation remain largely unexplored.

Wings apart-like protein (WAPL) has emerged as a key player in maintaining genome integrity through its regulation of cohesin dynamics, which govern chromatin architecture and gene expression. WAPL mainly acts as a cohesin release factor and ensures proper chromosomal segregation during mitosis by promoting sister chromatid resolution. Owing to its prominent role in cell biology, WAPL dysregulation can cause genomic instability and disrupt chromosomal cohesion, leading to diseases such as cancer.

Anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) regulates the cell cycle by destruction of target proteins ubiquitination. However, understanding the control of APC/C has remained elusive. We identify APC2, the catalytic core subunit of APC/C, as a binding partner of active regulator of SIRT1 (AROS).

Background: Rising disparities in maternal-child healthcare are linked explicitly to outcomes based on patients' cultural identities. Those who receive universally available health care in the military are not immune from these disparities. Practicing cultural humility has been proposed as a tool for advancing equity through improved understanding of cultural factors that may impact a patient's healthcare.

The ectoparasitic honeybee (Apis mellifera) mite Tropilaelaps mercedesae represents a serious threat to Asian apiculture and a growing concern for global beekeeping due to its high reproductive capacity and host adaptability. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying its host adaptation across life stages remain poorly characterized. Here, we performed integrated transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses of female mites at 4 key postembryonic developmental stages: protonymphs, deutonymphs, mature adults, and reproductive adults.
