Despite the promise of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) for safe and sustainable grid storage, water-induced side reactions at the Zn anode, such as hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), corrosion and dendrite growth, make interfacial water suppression a critical research focus. The incorporated dual-site MBA additive anchors water molecules via ─C═O and ─NH functional groups, thereby …

In this study, Zhang and colleagues show that drinking-water supplementation of D-mannose serves as an effective and potential therapeutic of type 2 diabetes, with improvement of both liver health and bone mass. The effect is exerted through suppressing macrophage release of extracellular vesicles based on metabolic control of CD36 expression. These findings shed light on …

Sustained nucleate boiling and Leidenfrost delay are critical for thermal and energy industries. Leveraging vapor buffer and reducing water-hammer pressure, this study realizes the enhancement of nucleate boiling and postponement of Leidenfrost by rationally designing and developing hierarchical nano–micro structured surfaces. Besides, AI technology is adopted to predict droplet boiling patterns on various structured surfaces. …

Our findings suggest that miR-29a/b is a critical regulator of CD8+ T cells, possibly via the Ifng-JAK-STAT signal in IBD patients and the upregulation of miR-29a/b relieves the development of significant inflammation in the colon of DSS-induced colitis-affected mice. Abstract: The role of CD8+ T cells in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unclear. Similarly, the posttranscriptional regulation of the …

Long-term migration to high-altitude areas can readily result in chronic high-altitude diseases; however, effective prevention and treatment methods are currently lacking. This study employed a multi-omics approach, integrating metagenomics and metabolomics, to discover and validate that the decreased abundance of Veillonella rogosae, Streptococcus rubneri, and gut microbiota-associated serum metabolites, contributes to increased susceptibility to high-altitude heart abnormalities …

Asiaticoside (AS) has known anti-inflammatory effects in diabetic wounds, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, we reveal that AS alleviates inflammation in diabetic wounds by activating ferroptosis of M1 macrophages, which is attributed to the downregulation of ferroportin 1 and ferritinophagy-induced degradation of ferritin heavy chain 1. Furthermore, AS was encapsulated …
