Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries with a non-ideal reaction kinetic anode remain a key issue currently. Here, we present a heterostructured ZnSe/BiSe nanocluster coated with carbon displaying fast reaction kinetics. An Raman spectrum evidences species change during charge-discharge, and an X-ray diffraction pattern verifies a good reversibility. The ZnSe/BiSe/NC anode exhibits a high specific capacity of 438 mA h g after 500 cycles at 0.2 A g, and 386 mA h g after 1200 cycles at 1.0 A g. High-performance cells cycling at -10 °C and 50 °C are achieved. These findings will lead to important applications for developing a broad set of energy-storage materials and battery systems.

New treatment strategies are required to combat the spread of drug-resistant malaria. The synthesis and preclinical evaluation of novel 3-hydroxy-propanamidines (HPAs), with modifications of the phenanthrene and the 4-fluorobenzamidine moieties, has yielded several analogs exhibiting excellent in vitro growth inhibition of drug-sensitive or resistant fresh clinical isolates and culture-adapted strains. No cytotoxicity in the human HepG2 cell line was observed, demonstrating notable parasite selectivity.

Avapritinib (Ayvakit™) is a highly selective inhibitor of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA), including D842V mutations. Avapritinib (APB) is authorized in the United States for individuals with metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). APB is considered the exclusive therapy for adults with indolent systemic mastocytosis.

Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Their locomotor activity is influenced by endogenous and exogenous factors, but whether individual behavioral profiles persist across developmental stages remains unclear. This study evaluated non-oriented locomotor activity in Rhodnius prolixus under varying nutritional states (short-fasting, long-fasting, fed), developmental stages (5th instar nymphs and adults), sex (males and females), and light phase (photophase vs.

Reproductive senescence, the decline in any component of offspring recruitment with increasing age, has been well documented in mammalian females. Male reproductive senescence, however, is much less understood, partly due to the past complexities of getting reliable paternity assignment in the wild. Through a standardised literature search, we compiled age-specific reproductive data on both mating and reproductive success on 57 species encompassing 73 populations.

Background: Dietary fiber supports metabolic health via microbial fermentation, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). However, metabolic responses to fiber vary between individuals, potentially due to differences in gut microbiota composition. The Prevotella-to-Bacteroides (P/B) ratio has emerged as a potential biomarker for fiber responsiveness.
