Solar-Driven Cellulose Photorefining into Arabinose over Oxygen-Doped Carbon Nitride
(American Chemical Society, 2024-03-01)Biomass photorefining is a promising strategy to address the energy crisis and transition toward carbon carbon-neutral society. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of direct cellulose photorefining into arabinose by a ... -
Silicon Radical‐Induced CH4 Dissociation for Uniform Graphene Coating on Silica Surface (Small 16/2024)
(Wiley, 2024-04)In article number 2306325, Zheng-Ze Pan, Devis Di Tommaso, Hirotomo Nishihara, and co-workers tackle the surface inertness of SiO2 on graphene coating over chemical vapor deposition via the pre-grafting of trimethyl silane ... -
Thermodynamically Favorable Route to the Synthesis of Nanoporous Graphene Templated on CaO via Chemical Vapor Deposition
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2024)Template-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising approach for fabricating nanoporous materials based on graphene walls. Among conventional metal oxide templates, CaO, produced through the thermal decomposition ... -
N4BP1 functions as a dimerization-dependent linear ubiquitin reader which regulates TNF signalling
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Signalling through TNFR1 modulates proinflammatory gene transcription and programmed cell death, and its impairment causes autoimmune diseases and cancer. NEDD4-binding protein 1 ... -
Alpha Event-Related Decreases During Encoding in Adults with ADHD - An Investigation of Sustained Attention and Working Memory Processes.
(Elsevier, 2024-04-18)BACKGROUND: Executive functioning deficits are central to established neuropsychological models of ADHD. Oscillatory activity, particularly the alpha rhythm (8-12Hz) has been associated with cognitive impairments in ADHD. ... -
Gaucher disease protects against tuberculosis.
(2023-02-14)Biallelic mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene cause Gaucher disease, characterized by lysosomal accumulation of glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine in macrophages. Gaucher and other lysosomal diseases occur ... -
Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish identifies host factors controlling susceptibility to Shigella flexneri.
(Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2024-01-26)Shigella flexneri is a human-adapted pathovar of Escherichia coli that can invade the intestinal epithelium, causing inflammation and bacillary dysentery. Although an important human pathogen, the host response to S. ... -
P38 Mediates Tumor Suppression through Reduced Autophagy and Actin Cytoskeleton Changes in NRAS-Mutant Melanoma.
(2023-01-31)Hotspot mutations in the NRAS gene are causative genetic events associated with the development of melanoma. Currently, there are no FDA-approved drugs directly targeting NRAS mutations. Previously, we showed that p38 acts ... -
Conserved roles for Hnf4 family transcription factors in zebrafish development and intestinal function.
(2022-11-30)Transcription factors play important roles in the development of the intestinal epithelium and its ability to respond to endocrine, nutritional, and microbial signals. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 family nuclear receptors ... -
Young people's future thinking and mental health: The development and validation of the Adolescent Future Thinking Rating Scale.
(2023-10-03)OBJECTIVES: We aimed to develop and validate a new scale of future thinking and adolescent mental health-the Adolescent Future Thinking Rating Scale (AFTRS). METHODS: A provisional AFTRS was developed from interviews with ... -
Remote Recruitment Strategy and Structured E-Parenting Support (STEPS) App: Feasibility and Usability Study.
(2023-09-11)BACKGROUND: The Structured E-Parenting Support (STEPS) app provides support for parents of children with elevated hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention, and conduct problems who are awaiting clinical assessment. STEPS ... -
mTOR-regulated mitochondrial metabolism limits mycobacterium-induced cytotoxicity.
(2022-09-29)Necrosis of macrophages in the granuloma, the hallmark immunological structure of tuberculosis, is a major pathogenic event that increases host susceptibility. Through a zebrafish forward genetic screen, we identified the ... -
Digenic inheritance involving a muscle-specific protein kinase and the giant titin protein causes a skeletal muscle myopathy.
(Springer Nature, 2024-03-01)In digenic inheritance, pathogenic variants in two genes must be inherited together to cause disease. Only very few examples of digenic inheritance have been described in the neuromuscular disease field. Here we show that ... -
Semiconducting Sc<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>–ZnO nanostructures: Sustainably synthesized efficient material for electro-catalysis, energy storage, and passivation in ambient perovskite solar cells
(Elsevier, 2024-04-01)This work presents the first account of the transformed sustainable production in conjugation with the microwave processing of the scandium oxide (Sc2O3) and zinc oxide (ZnO) forming Sc2O3–ZnO nanostructure. Upon nanocomposite ... -
No evidence of association between either Modic change or disc degeneration and five circulating inflammatory proteins.
(Wiley, 2024-03)INTRODUCTION: Intervertebral disc degeneration and Modic change are the main spinal structural changes associated with chronic low back pain (LBP). Both conditions are thought to manifest local inflammation and if inflammatory ... -
FastEval Parkinsonism: an instant deep learning-assisted video-based online system for Parkinsonian motor symptom evaluation.
(Nature Research, 2024-02-08)The Motor Disorder Society's Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) is designed to assess bradykinesia, the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it cannot capture the all-day variability ... -
