Two‐Step Tandem Catalysis for High‐Efficiency Ammonia Synthesis Via Nitrate Reduction on Anion‐Intercalated CoNi LDH and Cu/Cu2O

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating Cu/Cu2O and CoNi LDH, tandem kinetic descriptors, including a volcano curve, are employed to predict rate constants, facilitating ideal kinetic matching for efficient ammonia synthesis. The highest ammonia yield (1.12 mmol cm−2 h−1) and Faraday efficiency (99.78%) are achieved by rate matching between Cu/Cu2O and MoO4‐CoNi LDH.

Gasdermin D‐Mediated Pyroptosis Exerts Two Opposite Effects of Resisting Enzymatic Digestion and Expanding Inflammatory Response in Acute Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gasdermin D (GSDMD) does not only reduce pancreatic enzyme synthesis but also induces pancreatic acinar cells to express mucin 1 (MUC1), which forms a barrier to prevent digestive enzyme‐mediated digestion. However, GSDMD can promote the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages and aggravate pancreatic histological injury by expanding ...

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP1 Maintains Oocyte Asymmetric Division by Modulating Spindle Length

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Different from mitosis, the female meiosis undergoes asymmetric division that produces haploid oocytes and polar body, which is essential for retaining maternal components to support subsequent fertilization and embryo development. However, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown.
