Gut microbiota facilitates dietary heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation by opening the mucus barrier in colon [PDF]
Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia.

Abstract The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in maintaining host metabolic homeostasis and overall physiological functions. Shenling Baizhu San (SLBZS), a time‐honored classical prescription for tonifying Qi, strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, and arresting diarrhea, has shown broad clinical efficacy in digestive disorders.

NR4A1 Exerts Pro‐Tumor Role in Glioblastoma via Inducing xCT/GPX4‐Regulated Ferroptosis
ABSTRACT Purpose This study investigates NR4A1's paradoxical roles in glioblastoma (GBM) progression, focusing on its mechanistic link to ferroptosis regulation. We aimed to resolve conflicting reports of NR4A1 as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor by defining its transcriptional control over xCT/GPX4‐mediated iron homeostasis and its clinical ...

Graphene Multi-Protonation: a Cooperative Mechanism for Proton Permeation
The interaction between protons and graphene is attracting a large interest due to recent experiments showing that these charged species permeate through the 2D material following a low barrier (~ 0.8 eV) activated process.

Hydrogen adsorption and diffusion around Si(001)/Si(110) corners in nanostructures [PDF]
While the diffusion of hydrogen on silicon surfaces has been relatively well characterised both experimentally and theoretically, the diffusion around corners between surfaces, as will be found on nanowires and nanostructures, has not been studied ...

Energy considerations show that low-barrier hydrogen bonds do not offer a catalytic advantage over ordinary hydrogen bonds [PDF]
Low-barrier hydrogen bonds have recently been proposed as a major factor in enzyme catalysis. Here we evaluate the feasibility of transition state (TS) stabilization by low-barrier hydrogen bonds in enzymes. Our analysis focuses on the facts that ( i ) a low-barrier hydrogen bond is less stable than a regular ...

Moyamoya Disease and the Risk of Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objectives Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the progressive narrowing of arteries at the base of the brain, forming abnormal collateral vascular networks. While vascular parkinsonism is noted in MMD, its link to Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been explored.

Hydrogen transport in superionic system Rb3H(SeO4)2: a revised cooperative migration mechanism
We performed density functional studies of electronic properties and mechanisms of hydrogen transport in Rb3H(SeO4)2 crystal which represents technologically promising class M3H(XO4)2 of proton conductors (M=Rb,Cs, NH4; X=S,Se).

Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

In silico approaches of gandarusa (Justicia gendarussa Burm. f.) potential for osteoporosis prevention via EGF pathway [PDF]
Context: On a cellular level, osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease caused by osteoclastic bone resorption that is not offset by osteoblastic bone synthesis. This increases the risk of fractures by making bones weak and brittle.
