A sandwich electrochemical immunosensor based on polypyrrole microspheres for the detection of cancer marker CA125
In this study, a sensitive sandwich electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of cancer markers cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) has been developed using polypyrrole (PPy) microspheres amplifying sensing signal. The PPy microspheres provided a larger surface area for gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), CA 125 antibodies and signal molecules adriamycin immobilization.

As an important organic intermediate, cis-5-norbornene-exo-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (exo-NDA), is widely used in the synthesis of medicine and pesticide. For instance, cis-5-norbornene-exo-2,3-diimide synthesized by the one-step conversion of exo-NDA is the essential intermediate for the synthesis of a series of antipsychotics including lurasidone hydrochloride [1], [2], [3], [4], tandospirone citrate [5], [6] etc.

AbstractWith the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, non-antibiotic therapies like gallium are increasingly gaining attention. Gallium ions exhibit potent activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria and intravenous gallium nitrite is under phase 2 clinical trials to treat chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients. However, its clinical efficacy is constrained by the achievable peak concentration in human tissue.

Editor’s summaryCD8+ T cells are a critical part of antitumor immunity and depend on metabolites including glucose to maintain their function. Here, Liu et al. have evaluated targeting glucose transport 10 (GLUT10) as a way to increase CD8+ T cell function by disrupting the competitive binding of lactic acid that increased glucose uptake, thereby increasing proliferation and antitumor capacity.

Exceptionally low thermal conductivity in simple two-dimensional SiS: anomalous emergence of rattling phonon modes in non-caged materials
The two-dimensional orthorhombic phase of SiS demonstrates extremely low thermal conductivity along both in-plane directions. This unique behavior arises from the Coulomb interaction among lone pair electrons at adjacent S atoms, which induce low-lying rattling optical modes with ultralow frequency.

Keywords: cross-pollination; pollen tube; qRT-PCR; self-pollination; style; Vaccinium asheiLargely due to natural selection, ∼60% of higher plants and in at least 100 families have evolved a multitude of mechanisms to avoid inbreeding, encourage outbreeding, and enhance the heterozygosity of their progeny to ensure genetic diversity and maintain heredity and variation (Fujii et al. 2016; Wu et al. 2018).

Glyphosate, widely used to manage weeds in cassava crops, simultaneously inhibits cassava growth, necessitating the development of herbicide-tolerant cassava varieties. In this study, screened 262 cassava varieties, identifying the glyphosate-resistant (GR) variety ZM8701 and the glyphosate-sensitive (GS) variety SC9. Transcriptomic analysis via Illumina sequencing revealed differentially expressed genes associated with resistance, including Cytochrome P450, GST, GT, ABC transporters, and others such as MIOX1, LHCA1, PPH, HSP26, HSP83A, and UGT73C5. Notably, the EMB3004 gene, involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, was significantly upregulated in resistant varieties, suggesting a key role in countering glyphosate’s inhibition of the shikimic acid pathway. These genes are pivotal in enhancing cell wall biosynthesis, optimizing photosynthesis, and improving detoxification processes. This research elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying cassava’s resistance to glyphosate, thereby laying the groundwork for breeding programs aimed at developing herbicide-resistant varieties.
