Epidermal METTL1‐Mediated m7G Modification Drives Psoriatic Inflammation by Stabilizing Bdkrb1 and Orchestrating Neutrophil Recruitment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils an unrecognized pro‐inflammatory epitranscriptomic checkpoint in psoriasis. By installing m7G modifications on the 5′ UTR of Bdkrb1 mRNA, METTL1 enhances receptor stability to orchestrate keratinocyte‐driven neutrophil recruitment via p38 MAPK signaling.

Longevity risk e rischio di insolvenza

, 2012
Le Compagnie assicurative sono soggette al rischio di insolvenza come le imprese di tutti i settori ma, poichè il business di queste compagnie consiste nella " vendita" di sicurezza, il tema della solvibilità assume un'importanza ancora più rilevante.

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Adaptive Coordination Engineering for Efficient and Robust H2 Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
β‐H elimination is a pivotal but challenging step in homogeneous formic acid dehydrogenation reactions due to strict hydride‐metal matching. By using a rationally designed Pd1Ag2 bimetallic system with adaptive Pd1‐Ag2/L2 coordination and formate bridges, it enables boosted formic acid dehydrogenation under ambient air (7.7 times higher than a Pd ...
