Oxygen concentration critically determines the physical properties of transition metal oxides. In this work, we realized a subtle modulation of the oxygen concentration in heterostructures composed of perovskite SrTiO (STO) and brownmillerite SrCoO (BM-SCO) by deliberately promoting oxygen migration from the oxygen reservoir to BM-SCO with the assistance of STO capping. A small increase in the oxygen concentration was demonstrated to exclusively change the interorbital transition that is mostly related to the O 2p states in BM-SCO. The independent tuning of interorbital transition facilitates a wavelength-selective control of visible-light absorption. This results in a rich colorful appearance of the heterostructures, which depends on the thickness of the STO capping layer. The capping-assisted oxygen migration is expected to facilitate the designing and tailoring of emergent phenomena in oxygen-deficient oxides, even in the absence of a full topotactic phase transition.

Radiation dermatitis is a common side effect of radiotherapy, affecting up to 95% of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy and often leading to skin damage, inflammation, and ulceration. The pathogenesis of radiation dermatitis involves complex mechanisms, such as the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sustained inflammatory responses. Current treatments, including topical steroids, moisturisers, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), often provide limited efficacy, primarily addressing symptoms rather than the underlying pathophysiological processes.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), triggers a series of vascular lesions and inflammatory responses and results in visual impairment or even blindness. Triptolide (TP) possesses many pharmacological properties, including immunosuppressive and anti-tumour effects. However, the effects of TP on ROP and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

The short lifespan of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in vitro poses challenges, as their limited viability restricts functional assays and experimental manipulations. The HL-60 cell line serves as a valuable model for neutrophil-like differentiation, yet the functional relevance of ATRA- and DMSO-induced differentiation remains incompletely understood. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the differentiation potential of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on HL-60 cells and compare their functionality with primary PMNs.
