Background The aggressive cancer known as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a remarkably poor response to treatment, especially gemcitabine (GEM). As a member of the noncanonical IκB kinase family, inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit epsilon (IKBKE) is known to regulate tumor progression in multiple cancer types. However, its functional role in modulating chemosensitivity and its impact on cell death pathways in PDAC remain unclear. Materials and methods We examined IKBKE expression in patient tumor tissues and publicly available databases and assessed its prognostic value to investigate its function in PDAC chemoresistance. Loss-of-function approaches, including shRNA knockdown and pharmacological inhibition using amlexanox, were employed in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, cytotoxicity along with cell death patterns induced by GEM were assessed through flow cytometry, electron microscopy, and CCK-8 assays. Co-IP and GST pull-down assays were applied to determine whether IKBKE interacts with gasdermin E (GSDME), the executioner protein of pyroptosis. Moreover, in vitro kinase assays, phosphorylation mass spectrometry, and site-specific gain-/loss-of-function mutant functional experiments were conducted to investigate the specific pathways via which IKBKE affects GSDME-mediated pyroptosis. The therapeutic potential of IKBKE targeting was further validated using patient-derived tumor organoids and xenograft models. Results IKBKE was significantly elevated in PDAC tissues and was closely linked to worse clinical outcomes. Functional studies of the signaling pathway showed that via the activation of the protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase-3β signaling pathway, IKBKE facilitates the aggressive phenotype of PDAC cells. IKBKE inhibition or silencing increased GEM sensitivity and caused caspase-3/GSDME-dependent pyroptosis in PDAC cells. Co-IP and GST pull-down analysis revealed IKBKE–GSDME interaction. Further in vitro cleavage and kinase assays, mass spectrometry analysis, and mutant functional studies showed that IKBKE inhibits pyroptosis by phosphorylating GSDME at Thr6, thereby hindering its cleavage by caspase-3. Treatment with amlexanox markedly suppressed tumor growth and synergized with GEM to enhance anti-tumor efficacy in organoid models by targeting IKBKE. Conclusion Our findings identify IKBKE as a key regulator of chemotherapy-induced pyroptosis in PDAC. Specifically, IKBKE phosphorylates GSDME at Thr6, which alters its conformation, thereby impeding caspase-3–mediated cleavage, ultimately contributing to GEM chemoresistance. IKBKE targeting reverses GEM resistance and enhances tumor immunogenic cell death via the caspase-3/GSDME pathway, supporting IKBKE inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for PDAC.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a progressive inherited neurodegenerative disorder for which accessible blood-based classification approaches are needed. In this retrospective, single-center study, plasma metabolic fingerprints were acquired from 202 participants using mesoporous PdPt nanoparticle-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) and analyzed using a Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network (TabPFN) classifier. The model achieved AUCs of 0.952 in the discovery cohort and 0.963 in the internal temporal validation cohort. A reduced 21-metabolite panel retained discriminatory performance, with AUCs of 0.901 and 0.932, respectively. Exploratory clinical and pathway analyses provided additional biological context. These findings highlight the potential of PdPt-assisted plasma metabolic fingerprinting for SCA3 classification.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) employing CsPbX 3 nanocrystals (NCs) face persistent challenges in balancing emission efficiency and spectral stability due to surface halide vacancies, which trigger nonradiative recombination, halide phase segregation, and self-doping effects. In this work, we address these limitations by introducing 3,5-dicarboxyphenylboronic acid (3,5-DA) as a multifunctional bidentate ligand additive. The unique coordination architecture of 3,5-DA, featuring multiple chelating groups, enables strong binding affinity to perovskite NC surfaces. This interaction effectively passivates halide vacancies while suppressing ion migration and defect formation. The optimized CsPb(Br/I) 3 NCs exhibit enhanced stability and suppressed nonradiative losses, enabling high-performance white LEDs (WLEDs). At a driving current of 10 mA, the fabricated WLEDs demonstrate a luminous efficiency of 10.32 lm·W −1 , a CIE coordinate of (0.3379, 0.3391), a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5260 K, and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.48 %. This work provides a ligand engineering strategy to concurrently resolve efficiency-stability trade-offs in PeLEDs.

Background Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by airway remodeling, which results in a progressive decline in lung function. Senkyunolide A is one of the effective components of ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, it shows protective effects on many human diseases. However, the role of Senkyunolide A in asthma remains unclear. Results In our study, we established an asthma mouse model by ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and challenge, and Senkyunolide A (20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg) was given by intraperitoneal injection. For in vitro study, lung epithelial BEAS-2B cells were treated with TGF-β1 to induce epithelial mesenchymal transformation. Our study showed that Senkyunolide A (40 mg/kg) alleviated airway injury, inflammatory infiltration and airway remodeling induced by OVA in asthma mice. Meanwhile, Senkyunolide A (40 μM) recovered the high level of cell migration and profibrotic factors expression induced by TGF-β1. Mechanistically, Senkyunolide A abolished the effect of OVA or TGF-β1 on Smad2/3 phosphorylation at site Ser 465/467 /Ser 423/425 in mice or BEAS-2B cells and inhibited the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome induced by OVA. Conclusions In total, our study indicated that Senkyunolide A alleviated airway damage and airway remodeling in asthmatic mice and regulated the progress of asthma by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad2/3 signaling pathway and NLRP3 activation.

To develop efficient and reusable catalysts for biodiesel production, quaternary heteropolyacid H 4 PVMo 2 W 9 O 40 (PVMo 2 W 9 ) was effectively wrapped inside rht -MOF-1 { rht -MOF-1 = [Cu 6 O(TZI) 3 (H 2 O) 6 ] 4 ⋅nH 2 O}, affording a crystalline H 4 PVMo 2 W 9 O 40 @ rht -MOF-1 ( 1 ) by one-pot hydrothermal method. The identification of the crystal structure of 1 was achieved through the utilization of X-ray crystallography. Nano-size crystals of 1 ( n-1 ) were prepared with the assistance of surfactant Tween 20. Notably, crystal n-1 was of cube shape grown along {100} facets rather than octahedral shape for 1 . When n-1 was applied as the catalyst for the esterification reactions, high conversion rates were achieved. E. g. about 97 % conversion for oleic acid to the corresponding monoalkyl esters and about 87 % for rapeseed oil to biodiesel. The catalyst was heterogeneous and recyclable 7 times without obvious attenuation. Further, the correlation between the catalytic activity and structure of n-1 was investigated in terms of the distribution of active sites, various pores in rht -MOF-1, and the accessibility of catalytic sites on the {100} facets.

With the advancement of automotive intelligence and electrification, ethylene glycol (EG), as a critical component in antifreeze and coolant systems, has gained increasing industrial significance. However, the volatile nature of EG poses potential health hazards, making the development of high-performance EG gas sensors an urgent priority. In this study, a CuO-In(OH) 3 Type II p-n heterojunction was directly fabricated through a solvothermal method followed by 200°C annealing. The developed CuO-In(OH)₃-based gas sensor demonstrates exceptional EG sensing performance, exhibiting a response magnitude of 21.3 toward 50 ppm EG at 95°C – 7.9 times higher than that of pure CuO (2.7). Notably, the operating temperature was reduced from 120°C (pristine CuO) to 95°C while maintaining excellent repeatability (6 cyclic tests) and long-term stability (26-day continuous operation). The first engineered heterojunction, characterized by its nanoflower-cube hierarchical architecture, not only provides a novel strategy for designing efficient EG gas sensors but also demonstrates promising potential in environmental safety assurance.

(S)-3-Bromo-2-(1-methoxyethyl)pyridine 1 is a key intermediate of RMC-6236. In this report, we detail the development and optimization of a highly enantioselective chemoenzymatic and kilogram-scale process for 1. The developed process for intermediate (S)-1-(3-Bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanol 3 was performed on 1 kg scale with a substrate concentration of 70.0 g/L, achieving a yield of 93.0% and an ee value of >99.9%. Subsequently, a simple and effective NaHMDS/CH3I methylation system afforded the title compound 1, in 95.0% yield and with >99.9% ee, achieving 88.4% overall yield from intermediate 1-(3-bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanone 2. This represents a notable increase compared to the early stage process (overall yield 55.5%). This optimized highly efficient and sustainable process was demonstrated during kilogram-scale production of 1.

Vanadium (III) oxide (V2O3) has emerged as a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries owing to high theoretical capacity based on reversible two-electron redox chemistry. However, the cycling stability and reaction kinetics are highly sensitive to its microstructural characteristics, which remain insufficiently understood. Here, we report a facile and scalable synthesis of V2O3 via combining oil-bath reaction and controlled calcination process, enabling precise regulation of particle morphology and microstructure through calcination time. Systematic microstructural evolution is correlated with Zinc-ion storage behavior, revealing that optimized architectures effectively promote ion transport kinetics and structural stability. Coupled with a high-concentration water-in-salt electrolyte to suppress parasitic reactions, the optimized V2O3 cathode delivers a high specific capacity of 453.8 mA h g -1 at 0.05 A g -1 , exceptional rate capability with 180 mA h g -1 retained at 10 A g -1 , and prolonged cycling stability of 210 mAh g -1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g -1 . This work elucidates the underlying structure-property relationship governed by microstructure but also provides valuable insights into the design of highperformance cathode materials for advanced energy storage systems.

High Mn 2+ doping concentration can lead to the formation of high-density defects/trap states, which serve as non-radiative recombination centers, seriously restricting the energy transfer efficiency from the host nanocrystals to Mn 2+ . Herein, we introduce Cd 2+ into Mn 2+ -doped CsPb(BrCl) 3 nanocrystalline (NCs) film to effectively suppress non-radiative recombination. The analysis of the structure and composition confirmed the phase and chemical composition of the Cd 2+ -Mn 2+ co-doped CsPb(BrCl) 3 NCs film. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectra revealed the enhanced optical properties of the co-doped CsPb(BrCl) 3 NCs film. The Mn 2+ emission peak is studied in the temperature range of 80 K–300 K. Strong electron-phonon coupling causes an anomalous blueshift and linewidth broadening of the Mn 2+ emission peak with increasing temperature. Temperature-dependent PL spectra confirmed that the energy transfer between the exciton emission peak and the Mn 2+ emission peak was regulated through Cd 2+ doping, achieving the negative thermal quenching effect. This study utilized C 9 H 23 NO 3 Si (APTES) for the surface encapsulation of the NCs film to enhance their stability. Substituting Pb 2+ with Cd 2+ and Mn 2+ enhances the stability of the nanocrystals and alleviates lattice distortion within the [PbCl 6 ] 4- octahedral framework. The experimental results indicate that the Mn 2+ emission peak of the co-doped CsPb(BrCl) 3 NCs film retains 80.7% of its luminescent intensity after 31 days of storage in air, thereby confirming its excellent optical stability.

The viscoelasticity of shear thickening fluid (STF), a crucial property in the protective composite applications, with different silica nanoparticle concentrations in ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidizolium tetrafluoroborate ([C4min]BF4), was studied at different temperatures and with shear frequencies through oscillatory shear, respectively. All STFs present strain thickening behavior. With increasing silica nanoparticle concentration, the critical shear strain for the onset of strain thickening decreased, while the complex viscosity, storage modulus, and loss modulus increased significantly. The critical shear strain increased with an increase of temperature, while the complex viscosity, storage modulus, and loss modulus decreased notably. The critical shear strain was constant with increasing the frequency of strain, while the complex viscosity decreases slightly. The storage modulus and loss modulus were independent with frequency in the strain thickening region. Nanoparticle clusters leading to strain thickening were demonstrated. The viscoelastic response of STFs to varying silica nanoparticle content, temperature, and frequency investigated here will help to design the specific application of STFs in soft protective composites and damping devices.

The NASICON (Sodium super ion conductor)-type of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) (NVP) has a great potential for energy storage application due to its high voltage plateau, three-dimensional (3D) ionic diffusion channel, perfect thermal stability, and high structural robustness. Here, Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 )-based composites with 3D porous carbon skeleton structure were synthesized via hydrothermal methods . After a series of hydrolysis and polymerization processes, transparent colloid mainly containing (NH 4 ) 4 Na 2 V 10 O 28 phase was formed. The 3D porous hydrogel with the (NH 4 ) 4 Na 2 [V 10 O 28 ]·10H 2 O phase was produced by adjusting the reaction time. The product has a lamellar structure , and its ion is suitable to grow the nanosheets , and the present PO 4 3- groups may be distributed in the (NH 4 ) 4 Na 2 [V 10 O 28 ]·10H 2 O phase of the interlayer structure, leading to the enhanced electronic conductivity . The 3D porous Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 )/C (NVP/C) with the size of 100–200 nm particles can be used as cathode for sodium ion batteries . The NVP/C delivers a specific capacity of 62.1 mAh g −1 at 10 C. The excellent stability of NVP/C can be obtained with 98% capacity retention after 140 cycles at 1 C. After 2000 cycles (5 C), the capacity is still 80.4 mAh g −1 , with the capacity retention of about 86%. Our encouraging results may boost further studies of SIBs device by smart engineering of the electrode materials.

Symmetric sodium-ion batteries possess promising features such as low cost, easy manufacturing process, and facile recycling post-process, which are suitable for the application of large-scale stationary energy storage. Herein, we proposed a symmetric sodium-ion battery based on dual-electron reactions of a NASICON-structured Na3MnTi(PO4)3 material. The Na3MnTi(PO4)3 electrode can deliver a stable capacity of up to 160 mAh g–1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 97% at 0.1 C by utilizing the redox reactions of Ti3+/4+, Mn2+/3+, and Mn3+/4+. This is the first time to investigate the symmetric sodium-ion full cell using Na3MnTi(PO4)3 as both cathode and anode in the organic electrolyte, demonstrating excellent reversibility and cycling performance with voltage plateaus of about 1.4 and 1.9 V. The full cell exhibits a reversible capacity of 75 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C and an energy density of 52 Wh kg–1. In addition, both ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the sodiation mechanism and structural evolution. The current research provides a feasible strategy for the symmetric sodium-ion batteries to achieve high energy density.
