Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals

Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expe...

A hybrid nanomodulator enables metabolic microenvironment remodeling for potent immunotherapy against lung adenocarcinoma

STING agonist-based immunotherapy holds considerable promise for cancer treatment, yet its efficacy against immunologically “cold” tumors such as lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains markedly limited. A major obstacle lies in the highly glyco...

Pressure Effects on Monolayer FeCl2: Above‐Room‐Temperature Ferromagnetism with In‐Plane Electric Polarization and Interface‐Free Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

ABSTRACT We investigate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the physical properties of monolayer FeCl2 for spintronics applications. A phase transition from a ferromagnetic half‐metal to a ferromagnetic semiconductor is unveiled at 4.6...

Lysosome blockade induces divergent metabolic programs in macrophages and tumours for cancer immunotherapy

Abstract Background Platinum-drugs based chemotherapy in clinic increases the potency of tumor cells to produce M2 macrophages, thus leading to poor anti-metastatic activity and immunosuppression. Lysosome metabolism is critical for cancer ...

Microstructure and corrosion behavior of SLM–Ti6Al4V with different fabrication angles in F−-containing solutions

Selective laser fusion (SLM) is an emerging 3D printing technology that can greatly shorten the processing cycle and reduce the production cost of medical implants, thus offering broad prospects for application in the biomedical field. In a...

A review on green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles

Abstract Nanoparticles and Nanostructured materials are playing an ever-important role in affordable healthcare, environment remediation, renewable energy, agriculture, consumer electronics, cosmetics etc. However, progress in these sectors...

Microstructure and corrosion resistance of Sm-containing Al-Mn-Si-Fe-Cu alloy

Optimizing alloy composition is an effective way to improve physical and chemical properties of automobile heat exchanger materials.A Sm-containing Al-Mn-Si-Fe-Cu alloy was investigated through transmission electron microscopy,scanning elec...

Fluoridobromate(V)–hydrogen fluoride cocrystallizates

Cocrystals of BrF5 and HF2− salts have been obtained for the first time in the form of the two compounds [NMe4][(BrF5)6(HF2)] and Cs2[(BrF5)6(HF2)(H2F3)]. These compounds are formed when hydrogen fluoride is present in reactions of BrF5 and...

Finite element analysis on the near field properties of metallic cavities with atomic sharpness

Using finite element calculations, we investigated the near field properties of two types of commonly used metal nanostructures (a tip-substrate model representing a scanning tunneling microscope type setup (TS) and a nanoparticle-on-mirror...

Functionalization of polyoxometalates: towards advanced applications in catalysis and materials science

Functionalization via covalent grafting of organic functions allows to tune the redox and acid-base properties, and the solubility of polyoxometalates, to enhance their stability and biological activity and to reduce their toxicity, to faci...
