To overcome the dual challenges of suboptimal therapeutic outcomes and delayed detection in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a nucleus-targeting theranostic nanoplatform based on gadolinium-functionalized carbon dots (GdCDs) is presented. GdCDs were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method utilizing neutral red and citric acid as carbon precursors and gadolinium chloride hexahydrate as the paramagnetic source, showing good fluorescence (FL) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities. After modified with a nuclear localization sequence (NLS), GdCDs were loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) to yield the integrated theranostic platform: Nucleus-targeting gadolinium-functionalized carbon dot drug delivery system (NT-GdCDs-DDS) for FL/MRI dual-modality imaging and nucleus-targeting drug delivery. NT-GdCDs-DDS exhibited optimal excitation/emission wavelengths at 497/596 nm, a high longitudinal relaxivity (r 1 ) of 23.11 mM −1 s −1 , and a DOX loading efficiency of 61.9%. Results of antitumor activity assays in vitro demonstrated the viability of HepG2 cells incubated with 400 μg/mL NT-GdCDs-DDS for 24 h was 8.12%, demonstrating strong antitumor activity. Furthermore, a significant tumor growth suppression in mice was observed by treated with NT-GdCDs-DDS over a 15-day period, showing superiority to free DOX. These findings establish NT-GdCDs-DDS as a potent theranostic nanoplatform for simultaneous HCC imaging and therapy. Graphical abstract

The development of high-performance cellulose nanopaper is essential to enable its emerging application as an alternative eco-friendly substrate in electronics, photonics, and energy storage devices. Herein, we propose a novel chemical strategy to substantially improve the strength and toughness of cellulose nanopaper by introducing cations and anions from imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) into it, thereby forming additional hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy groups of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and the IL ions. At an IL content of 0.5 wt%, the strength, toughness, and fracture toughness of the IL/cellulose nanopapers are 210.5 MPa, 5.1 MJ/m 3 , and 4.48 MPa·m 1/2 , respectively, which are 2.5, 2.1, and 1.25 times greater than those of the unmodified nanopapers. Interfacial structure characterization and mechanistic analyses demonstrate that a moderate IL content facilitates the formation of extensive hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy groups on the CNF surface and both the imidazolium cations and anions. This substantially strengthens the interfacial bonding of the CNFs, effectively enhancing the tensile strength and toughness of the cellulose nanopaper while preserving its failure strain.

Breast cancer (BC) refers to a malignant neoplasm that takes place in the epithelial tissue of the breast. α-Cyperone (α-CYP) is one of the principal active components of Cyperus rotundus . However, research on the role of α-CYP in the development of BC is still lacking. This study investigates the effect and underlying mechanism of α-CYP in the progression of BC. Our findings revealed that both low-dose and high-dose α-CYP inhibited the colony formation ability of MCF-7 and BT474 cells, accompanied by the decrease in Ki67 expression and the obstruction of the cell cycle. Moreover, α-CYP treatment increased the activity of caspase-3, which leads to an increase in apoptosis. Moreover, the combination of α-CYP and cisplatin (DDP) remarkably suppressed cell viability and further facilitated apoptosis, indicating that α-CYP could enhance the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents in BC cells. Further, α-CYP treatment decreased TRIM24 expression through the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway. Notably, α-CYP counteracted the robust proliferation of BC cells triggered by TRIM24 overexpression. Taken together, this study confirmed that α-CYP is an effective anticancer component for BC treatment. α-CYP inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of BC cells via the modulation of TRIM24.

We aimed to enhance the flame retardancy of epoxy resin (EP) by synthesizing a novel, halogen-free flame retardant through a one-pot method. The synthesis utilized 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO), furfurylamine (FA), and benzene propionaldehyde (BPA) as raw materials. We conducted differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis to investigate the effects of FPD on the curing process and thermal properties of EP. Our findings reveal that incorporating FPD into EP can facilitate a faster curing process and increase the carbon residue post-combustion. Specifically, the FPD/EP-7 composite demonstrates a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 34.9% and achieves a UL-94V-0 rating with a phosphorus content of 0.91wt%. These results indicate that FPD significantly enhances the thermal stability and charring rate of EP, thereby improving its flame retardancy. Although the addition of FPD slightly reduces the mechanical properties of EP, the composite material maintains excellent performance.

Thrombotic diseases pose life-threatening risks, yet current thrombolytic therapies face limitations including poor targeting and bleeding risks. To address this, ultrasound-activatable nanomotors (hBT-Pt@Pm) were developed through the integration of hollow BaTiO₃/Pt Schottky heterojunctions with platelet membrane (Pm) coatings. The hollow structure enhances piezocatalytic efficiency by shortening charge migration distances, while Pt deposition improves carrier separation, collectively boosting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under ultrasound. Finite element simulations confirmed a 5.8-fold increase in piezoelectric potential compared to solid BaTiO₃. Asymmetric Pt caps enable cavitation-driven thrombus penetration, and Pt-mediated H₂O₂ decomposition generates O₂ bubbles to amplify ROS production. In vitro, Pm coating conferred 5.2-fold higher thrombus accumulation than non-targeted nanoparticles. In murine venous thrombosis models, the nanomotors achieved near-complete clot dissolution via synergistic piezocatalysis and mechanical penetration, without systemic toxicity. This approach provides a targeted, ultrasound-powered alternative to conventional thrombolytics, combining precision therapy with inherent biosafety.

A dual-mode electrochemical and fluorescent sensing platform for the highly sensitive detection of kanamycin (KANA) in milk was constructed, which leveraged the synergistic effects of carbon dots (CDs)-loaded metal–organic frameworks (CDs@Cu/Al-MOF) and Ti 3 C 2 , along with the competitive binding of complementary DNA (cDNA) strands to KANA-specific aptamers. Loading CDs onto Cu/Al-MOF effectively prevented the aggregation of CDs and shielded the fluorescent signals from environmental interference, significantly enhancing signal stability. When a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) functionalized with Ti 3 C 2 and aptamers was immersed in a solution of cDNA-functionalized CDs@Cu/Al-MOF, the aptamers hybridized with the cDNA, anchoring the CDs@Cu/Al-MOF onto the GCE surface. This resulted in enhanced electrochemical signals and weakened fluorescence intensity in the solution. Upon introduction of KANA, the aptamer preferentially bound to KANA and the cDNA/CDs@Cu/Al-MOF detached from the electrode, leading to a decrease in the electrochemical signal and an increase in the fluorescence signal. The developed dual-mode aptasensor enabled highly sensitive detection of KANA within a range of 100 fM-1 μM, with the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.5254 fM (electrochemical mode) and 0.4398 fM (fluorescence mode). The dual-mode aptasensor exhibited excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and promising performance in real milk sample analysis. Graphical

Wood sponges, characterized by their low density and highly anisotropic porous structure, demonstrate significant potential for wearable and flexible electronic devices. However, fabricating multifunctional integrated sensors with wide operating ranges and linear response characteristics remains a challenge. In this study, we propose a polyaniline/graphene-modified wood sponge piezoresistive sensing material (PGWS). The synergistic interaction between polyaniline (PANI) microspheres and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets enhances the structural stability of the sensor. The PGWS material exhibits high compressibility (up to 70% strain), excellent elasticity (95.36% height retention after 200 compression cycles), high sensitivity, and a broad pressure detection range (0–200 kPa). These advancements significantly improve the application prospects of wood sponge-based piezoresistive sensors in next-generation flexible electronics.

Fluorescent polyurea-carbon dots (PU-CD) were successfully achieved through a co-pyrolysis technique, combining polyurea (PU) with carboxyl-containing carbon dots (PCD) at a temperature of 220 °C. The PU was fabricated via a simple precipitation polymerization process using toluene diisocyanate in a water/acetone binary solvent system. PCD was generated by thermal treatment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) at the same elevated temperature. To elucidate the structural characteristics of PU-CD, as well as its precursor components PU and PCD, a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques was employed, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These analyses confirmed the formation of amide bonds resulting from the reaction between the terminal amines of PU and the carboxyl groups of PCD. An in-depth comparison of the fluorescence properties of PU-CD revealed marked enhancements in fluorescence intensity when contrasted with PU, PEG, and the individual PCD. The research explored the impact of various factors such as concentration, pH in aqueous solutions, and solvent type on the fluorescence emission of these materials, providing valuable insights into their emission mechanisms. It was particularly noteworthy that both PCD and PU-CD exhibited a confined-domain crosslink-enhanced emission effect. Utilizing the aqueous dispersion of PU-CD as a fluorescent probe, the detection of doxycycline (DOX), a long-acting, broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic, was achieved with a detection limit of 2.9×10 −7 mol/L. This study introduces a simple, green, and cost-effective fluorescent probe for the detection of DOX, which has significant potential for application in the realms of analytical chemistry and food safety monitoring in the future.

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are considered a highly promising large-scale energy storage technology due to their long lifespan, high safety, large capacity, and high efficiency. In practical applications, pentavalent vanadium in the positive electrolyte of vanadium batteries is prone to precipitation under conditions of high temperatures and concentrations, reducing the energy density and cycle life of VRFBs. Therefore, choosing appropriate additives to improve the stability of pentavalent vanadium ions is crucial. This study researched the effects of two hexahydric alcohols (inositol and galactitol) as electrolyte additives on the performance of vanadium-positive electrolyte through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and charge–discharge tests. The results show that both inositol and galactitol can improve the electrochemical performance of vanadium-positive electrolyte. At a current density of 80 mA cm −2 , the energy efficiency of the battery groups with inositol and galactitol added increased by 1.24% and 3.28% respectively compared to the blank battery group. The capacity retention rates of the battery groups with inositol and galactitol added were both higher than that of the blank battery group after 50 cycles. Due to the different distribution spaces of hydroxyl groups, galactitol was more significant in enhancing electrochemical activity and increasing the stability of the electrolyte.

Geniposide (GE), an iridoid glycoside from Gardenia jasminoides J.Ellis , exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidepressant, and neuroprotective properties. The excessive presence of corticosterone (CORT) can lead to neurotoxicity and inflict harm upon nerve cells. This study aimed to examine GE’s neuroprotective effects on CORT-induced damage in PC12 cells. Cells were pre-treated with GE for 3 h, then exposed to CORT for 24 h. Cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage were measured, apoptosis was assessed via flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence was used to detect MAP2 and PSD95 expression. The detection of glutamate (Glu) receptor, BDNF pathway, synaptic plasticity-related protein, and apoptosis pathway were performed using Western blot. The findings indicated that GE effectively prevented the reduction in cell viability, apoptosis, and LDH release caused by CORT. In PC12 cells, the expression of MAP2 and PSD95 were significantly enhanced by GE. Furthermore, GE reduced NR1, NR2A, NR2B, and Bax levels, increased EAAT2/3, Bcl-2, and proteins linked to BDNF and synaptic plasticity, and inhibited Caspase-3 and Caspase-9. GE shows neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic properties against CORT-induced cellular damage through BDNF pathway activation and Bax/Bcl-2 pathway suppression.

Since the traditional approaches for 3,3’-diamino-4,4’-azofurazan (DAAF) synthesis are not environment-friendly and economical enough, the development of green and low-cost approaches for the synthesis of DAAF is valuable and significant. Herein, the electrochemical synthesis of DAAF from the oxidation of 3 4-diaminofurazan (DAF) was studied in different electrode and electrolyte systems. It was found that the pH of alkaline aqueous electrolyte, the solvent of electrolyte and electrode play important role in DAF oxidation into DAAF. In an electrochemical cell with graphite sheet anode, Pt wire cathode and DAF/ n Bu 4 NBF 4 /acetonitrile electrolyte, the optimal DAAF yield of 63% and faradic efficiency above 60% (at 1.80 V vs. Ag/AgCl) were achieved. Mechanism investigations revealed that the electrochemical synthesis of DAAF in such an electrochemical cell is originated from the direct oxidation of DAF on graphite anode, not involving radical pathway.

Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a primary contributor to end-stage renal disease, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and RBP-alternative splicing (AS) regulatory networks in the pathogenesis of DN. Methods Two RNA-seq datasets (GSE117085 and GSE142025) were retrieved from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database. Regulated alternative splicing events (RASEs) and genes (RASGs) of RASEs, along with differentiated RBPs, were identified. Validated differentiated RBPs were correlated with clinical features using the Nephroseq v5 online platform. Using the DN mouse model and RT-qPCR, validated the alternative splicing of RNA. Results Our analysis revealed 15 differentiated RBP genes and 423 RASEs in the kidney cortex of DN rats compared to controls. Enrichment analysis highlighted lipid metabolism pathways for RASGs. Seven of the identified RBPs were validated in kidney biopsy samples from DN patients versus controls. A co-deregulatory network was constructed based on dysregulated RBPs and RASEs, with select RASGs identified. In vivo experiments, compared to normal mice, the mRNA levels of RPS19 were significantly elevated in the renal tissues of DN mice, while the levels of CPEB4 and CRYZ were markedly decreased. Conclusion In conclusion, this study provides evidence implicating dysregulated RBPs and RBP-AS regulatory networks in the development of diabetic nephropathy. The validated RBPs exhibited close associations with clinical biomarkers, reinforcing their potential as therapeutic targets for DN. These findings enhance our understanding of the molecular basis of DN and offer new insights for future research and intervention strategies. Clinical trial Not applicable.
