Atomic Model and Micelle Dynamics of QS-21 Saponin
Molecules, 2014 QS-21 is a saponin extracted from Quillaja saponaria, widely investigated as a vaccine immunoadjuvant. However, QS-21 use is mainly limited by its chemical instability, significant variety in molecular composition and low tolerance dose in mammals. Also,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

Engineering Trace‐Amount Electrolyte Additives for Aqueous Zinc Batteries
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Large‐amount additives primarily modify the bulk electrolyte by coordinating with Zn2+ or reshaping the hydrogen‐bond network, thereby altering the overall solution chemistry. In contrast, trace‐amount additives mainly operate at the electrode–electrolyte interface, regulating Zn deposition through electric double‐layer modulation, interfacial ...

A leaf phenomics approach for estimating belowground traits in North American licorice
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Selective breeding over thousands of years has prioritized aboveground yield, with little regard for changes belowground. Roots underpin plant growth and resilience, but our knowledge of these critical structures lags behind that of aboveground structures.
