[Expression and Function of circ_0073585 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression level, clinical significance and function of circular RNAs (circRNAs) circ_0073585 in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: The expression levels of circ_0073585 in bone marrow samples of 106 newly diagnosed AML patients and 38 controls were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR). The differences were compared between the two groups and their clinical significance was analyzed. The diagnostic value of circ_0073585 expression for AML was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC). THP-1 cells with lentivirus overexpressing circ_0073585 vector and empty vector were divided into two groups: circ_0073585-THP-1 and NC-THP-1 group. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to study the effects of circ_0073585 on THP-1 cell proliferation, survival, apoptosis and drug sensitivity. RESULTS: Compared with the controls, the expression level of circ_0073585 in the bone marrow of AML patients was significantly reduced (P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the high and low expression groups of circ_0073585 in the white blood cell count, platelet count (P < 0.01) and chromosome risk (P < 0.05). Compared with NC-THP-1 cells, the proliferation and viability of circ_0073585-THP-1 cells were weakened (P < 0.01), the apoptosis rate was increased (P < 0.01), and the sensitivity to homoharringtonine (P < 0.05) and daunorubicin hydrochloride (P < 0.001) was increased. CONCLUSION: The expression level of circ_0073585 is decreased in AML patients. Overexpression of circ_0073585 can inhibit the proliferation and viability of leukemic cells, promote apoptosis, and increase sensitivity of leukemia cells to chemotherapy drugs.

TNF and IFNγ-induced cell death requires IRF1 and ELAVL1 to promote CASP8 expression.

TNFα and IFNγ (TNF/IFNγ) synergistically induce caspase-8 activation and cancer cell death. However, the mechanism of IFNγ in promoting TNF-initiated caspase-8 activation in cancer cells is poorly understood. Here, we found that in addition to CASP8, CYLD is transcriptionally upregulated by IFNγ-induced transcription factor IRF1. IRF1-mediated CASP8 and CYLD upregulation additively mediates TNF/IFNγ-induced cancer cell death. Clinically, the expression levels of TNF, IFNγ, CYLD, and CASP8 in melanoma tumors are increased in patients responsive to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy after anti-PD-1 treatment. Accordingly, our genetic screen revealed that ELAVL1 (HuR) is required for TNF/IFNγ-induced caspase-8 activation. Mechanistically, ELAVL1 binds CASP8 mRNA and extends its stability to sustain caspase-8 expression both in IFNγ-stimulated and in basal conditions. Consequently, ELAVL1 determines death receptors-initiated caspase-8-dependent cell death triggered from stimuli including TNF and TRAIL by regulating basal/stimulated caspase-8 levels. As caspase-8 is a master regulator in cell death and inflammation, these results provide valuable clues for tumor immunotherapy and inflammatory diseases.

Accelerating Charge Kinetics in Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction by Modulating the Cobalt Coordination in Heterostructures of Cadmium Sulfide/Metal-Organic Layer.

Artificial photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2R) holds great promise to directly store solar energy into chemical bonds. The slow charge and mass transfer kinetics at the triphasic solid-liquid-gas interface calls for the rational design of heterogeneous photocatalysts concertedly boosting interfacial charge transfer, local CO2 concentration, and exposure of active sites. To meet these requirements, in this study heterostructures of CdS/MOL (MOL = metal-organic layer) furnishing different redox Co sites are fabricated for CO2R photocatalysts. It is found that the coordination environment of Co is key to photocatalytic activity. The best catalyst ensemble comprising ligand-chelated Co2+ with the bipyridine electron mediator demonstrates a high CO yield rate of 1523 µmol h-1 gcat -1, selectivity of 95.8% and TON of 1462.4, which are ranked among the best seen in literature. Comprehensive photochemical and electroanalytical characterizations attribute the high CO2R performance to the improved photocarrier separation and charge kinetics originated from the proper energy band alignment and coordination chemistry. This work highlights the construction of 2D heterostructures and modulation of transition metal coordination to expedite the charge kinetics in photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

DLGAP5 triggers proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer by stabilizing E2F1 via USP11.

Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most widespread malignancies worldwide, and displays significant tumor heterogeneity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms exploitable for treating aggressive BLCA represents a crucial objective. Despite the involvement of DLGAP5 in tumors, its precise molecular role in BLCA remains unclear. BLCA tissues exhibit a substantial increase in DLGAP5 expression compared with normal bladder tissues. This heightened DLGAP5 expression positively correlated with the tumor's clinical stage and significantly affected prognosis negatively. Additionally, experiments conducted in vitro and in vivo revealed that alterations in DLGAP5 expression notably influence cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, the findings demonstrated that DLGAP5 was a direct binding partner of E2F1 and that DLGAP5 stabilized E2F1 by preventing the ubiquitination of E2F1 through USP11. Furthermore, as a pivotal transcription factor, E2F1 fosters the transcription of DLGAP5, establishing a positive feedback loop between DLGAP5 and E2F1 that accelerates BLCA development. In summary, this study identified DLGAP5 as an oncogene in BLCA. Our research unveils a novel oncogenic mechanism in BLCA and offers a potential target for both diagnosing and treating BLCA.

Efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in recurrent pancreatitis of pediatric asparaginase-associated pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND: Asparaginase (ASP) is an important drug in combined chemotherapy regimens for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); ASP-associated pancreatitis (AAP) is the main adverse reaction of ASP. Recurrent pancreatitis is a complication of AAP, for which medication is ineffective. AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in treating recurrent pancreatitis due to AAP. METHODS: From May 2018 to August 2021, ten children (five males and five females; age range: 4-13 years) with AAP were treated using ERCP due to recurrent pancreatitis. Clinical data of the ten children were collected, including their sex, age, weight, ALL risk grading, clinical symptoms at the onset of pancreatitis, time from the first pancreatitis onset to ERCP, ERCP operation status, and postoperative complications. The symptomatic relief, weight change, and number of pancreatitis onsets before and after ERCP were compared. RESULTS: The preoperative symptoms were abdominal pain, vomiting, inability to eat, weight loss of 2-7 kg, and 2-9 pancreatitis onsets. After the operation, nine of ten patients did not develop pancreatitis, had no abdominal pain, could eat normally; the remaining patient developed three pancreatitis onsets due to the continuous administration of ASP, but eating was not affected. The postoperative weight gain was 1.5-8 kg. There was one case of post ERCP pancreatitis and two cases of postoperative infections; all recovered after medication. CONCLUSION: ERCP improved clinical symptoms and reduced the incidence of pancreatitis, and was shown to be a safe and effective method for improving the management of recurrent pancreatitis due to AAP.

A "Trinity" Design of Li-O2 Battery Engaging the Slow-Release Capsule of Redox Mediators.

Nonaqueous Li-O2 battery (LOB) represents one of the promising next-gen energy storage solutions owing to its ultrahigh energy density but suffers from problems such as high charging overpotential, slow redox kinetics, Li anode corrosion, etc., calling for a systemic optimization of the battery configuration and structural components. Herein, an ingenious "trinity" design of LOB is initiated by implementing a hollowed cobalt metal organic framework (MOF) impregnating iodized polypyrrole simultaneously as the cathode catalyst, anode protection layer, and slow-release capsule of redox mediators, so as to systemically address issues of impeded mass transport and redox kinetics on the cathode, dendrite growth, and surface corrosion on the anode, as well as limited intermediate solubility in the low donor-number (DN) solvent. As a result of the systemic effort, the LOB constructed demonstrates an ultralow discharge/charge polarization of 0.2 V, prolonged cycle life of 1244 h and total discharge capacity of 28.41 mAh cm-2 . Mechanistic investigations attribute the superb LOB performance to the redox-mediated solution growth mechanism of crystalline Li2 O2 with both enhanced reaction kinetics and reversibility. This study offers a paradigm in designing smart materials to raise the performance bar of Li-O2 battery toward realistic applications.

Proton Shuttling by Polyaniline of High Brønsted Basicity for Improved Electrocatalytic Ethylene Production from CO2.

Hybrid organic/inorganic composites with the organic phase tailored to modulate local chemical environment at the Cu surface arise as an enchanting category of catalysts for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). A fundamental understanding on how the organics of different functionality, polarity, and hydrophobicity affect the reaction path is, however, still lacking to guide rational catalyst design. Herein, polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PANI) manifesting different Brønsted basicity are compared for their regulatory roles on the CO2 RR pathways regarding *CO coverage, proton source and interfacial polarity. Concerted efforts from in situ IR, Raman and operando modelling unveil that at the PPy/Cu interface with limited *CO coverage, hydridic *H produced by the Volmer step favors the carbon hydrogenation of *CO to form *CHO through a Tafel process; Whereas at the PANI/Cu interface with concentrated CO2 and high *CO coverage, protonic H+ shuttled through the benzenoid -NH- protonates the oxygen of *CO, yielding *COH for asymmetric coupling with nearby *CO to form *OCCOH under favored energetics. As a result of the tailored chemical environment, the restructured PANI/Cu composite demonstrates a high partial current density of 0.41 A cm-2 at a maximal Faraday efficiency of 67.5 % for ethylene production, ranking among states of the art.

Pectolinarigenin inhibits bladder urothelial carcinoma cell proliferation by regulating DNA damage/autophagy pathways.

Pectolinarigenin (PEC), an active compound isolated from traditional herbal medicine, has shown potential anti-tumor properties against various types of cancer cells. However, its mechanism of action in bladder cancer (BLCA), which is one of the fatal human carcinomas, remains unexplored. In this study, we first revealed that PEC, as a potential DNA topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) poison, can target TOP2A and cause significant DNA damage. PEC induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest via p53 pathway. Simultaneously, PEC can perform its unique function by inhibiting the late autophagic flux. The blocking of autophagy caused proliferation inhibition of BLCA and further enhanced the DNA damage effect of PEC. In addition, we proved that PEC could intensify the cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine (GEM) on BLCA cells in vivo and in vitro. Summarily, we first systematically revealed that PEC had great potential as a novel TOP2A poison and an inhibitor of late autophagic flux in treating BLCA.

Integrated analysis of the roles of oxidative stress related genes and prognostic value in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), which is the most commonly diagnosed subtype of renal cell carcinoma, are at risk of tumor metastasis and recrudescence. Previous research has shown that oxidative stress can induce tumorigenesis in many cancers and can be a target of cancer treatment. Despite these findings, little progress has been made understanding in the association of oxidative stress-related genes (OSRGs) with ccRCC. METHODS: In vitro experiments were conducted with MTT survival assays, qRT‒PCR, apoptosis assays, cell cycle assays, ROS assays, and IHC staining. RESULTS: In our study, 12 differentially expressed oxidative stress-related genes (DEOSGs) and related transcription factors (TFs) that are relevant to overall survival (OS) were screened, and their mutual regulatory networks were constructed with data from the TCGA database. Moreover, we constructed a risk model of these OSRGs and performed clinical prognostic analysis and validation. Next, we performed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of MELK, PYCR1, and PML. A tissue microarray also verified the high expression of MELK and PYCR1 in ccRCC. Finally, in vitro cellular experiments demonstrated that knockdown of MELK or PYCR1 significantly inhibited ccRCC cell proliferation by causing cell apoptosis and inducing cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. Intracellular ROS levels were elevated after these two genes were knocked down. CONCLUSION: Our results revealed the potential DEORGs to be used in ccRCC prognostic prediction and identified two biomarkers, named PYCR1 and MELK, which regulated the proliferation of ccRCC cells by affecting ROS levels. Furthermore, PYCR1 and MELK could be promising targets for predicting the progression and prognosis of ccRCC, thereby serving as new targets for medical treatments.

The Myc Family and the Metastasis Suppressor NDRG1: Targeting Key Molecular Interactions with Innovative Therapeutics.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in ∼10 million deaths in 2020. Major oncogenic effectors are the Myc proto-oncogene family, which consists of three members including c-Myc, N-Myc, and L-Myc. As a pertinent example of the role of the Myc family in tumorigenesis, amplification of MYCN in childhood neuroblastoma strongly correlates with poor patient prognosis. Complexes between Myc oncoproteins and their partners such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and Myc-associated protein X (MAX) result in proliferation arrest and pro-proliferative effects, respectively. Interactions with other proteins are also important for N-Myc activity. For instance, the enhancer of zest homolog 2 (EZH2) binds directly to N-Myc to stabilize it by acting as a competitor against the ubiquitin ligase, SCFFBXW7, which prevents proteasomal degradation. Heat shock protein 90 may also be involved in N-Myc stabilization since it binds to EZH2 and prevents its degradation. N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is downregulated by N-Myc and participates in the regulation of cellular proliferation via associating with other proteins, such as glycogen synthase kinase-3ß and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6. These molecular interactions provide a better understanding of the biologic roles of N-Myc and NDRG1, which can be potentially used as therapeutic targets. In addition to directly targeting these proteins, disrupting their key interactions may also be a promising strategy for anti-cancer drug development. This review examines the interactions between the Myc proteins and other molecules, with a special focus on the relationship between N-Myc and NDRG1 and possible therapeutic interventions. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Neuroblastoma is one of the most common childhood solid tumors, with a dismal five-year survival rate. This problem makes it imperative to discover new and more effective therapeutics. The molecular interactions between major oncogenic drivers of the Myc family and other key proteins; for example, the metastasis suppressor, NDRG1, may potentially be used as targets for anti-neuroblastoma drug development. In addition to directly targeting these proteins, disrupting their key molecular interactions may also be promising for drug discovery.

External use of mirabilite to prevent post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis in children: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis is the most common complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Currently, there is no suitable treatment for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) prophylaxis. Few studies have prospectively evaluated interventions to prevent PEP in children. AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of the external use of mirabilite to prevent PEP in children. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial enrolled patients with chronic pancreatitis scheduled for ERCP according to eligibility criteria. Patients were randomly divided into the external use of mirabilite group (external use of mirabilite in a bag on the projected abdominal area within 30 min before ERCP) and blank group. The primary outcome was the incidence of PEP. The secondary outcomes included the severity of PEP, abdominal pain scores, levels of serum inflammatory markers [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and serum interleukin-10 (IL-10)], and intestinal barrier function markers [diamine oxidase (DAO), D-lactic acid, and endotoxin]. Additionally, the side effects of topical mirabilite were investigated. RESULTS: A total of 234 patients were enrolled, including 117 in the external use of mirabilite group and the other 117 in the blank group. The pre-procedure and procedure-related factors were not significantly different between the two groups. The incidence of PEP in the external use of mirabilite group was significantly lower than that in the blank group (7.7% vs 26.5%, P < 0.001). The severity of PEP decreased in the mirabilite group (P = 0.023). At 24 h after the procedure, the visual analog scale score in the external use of mirabilite group was lower than that in the blank group (P = 0.001). Compared with those in the blank group, the TNF-α expressions were significantly lower and the IL-10 expressions were significantly higher at 24 h after the procedure in the external use of mirabilite group (P = 0.032 and P = 0.011, respectively). There were no significant differences in serum DAO, D-lactic acid, and endotoxin levels before and after ERCP between the two groups. No adverse effects of mirabilite were observed. CONCLUSION: External use of mirabilite reduced the PEP occurrence. It significantly alleviated post-procedural pain and reduced inflammatory response. Our results favor the external use of mirabilite to prevent PEP in children.

Melatonin inhibits bladder tumorigenesis by suppressing PPARγ/ENO1-mediated glycolysis.

Melatonin is a well-known natural hormone, which shows a potential anticancer effect in many human cancers. Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most malignant human cancers in the world. Chemoresistance is an increasingly prominent phenomenon that presents an obstacle to the clinical treatment of BLCA. There is an urgent need to investigate novel drugs to improve the current clinical status. In our study, we comprehensively explored the inhibitory effect of melatonin on BLCA and found that it could suppress glycolysis process. Moreover, we discovered that ENO1, a glycolytic enzyme involved in the ninth step of glycolysis, was the downstream effector of melatonin and could be a predictive biomarker of BLCA. We also proved that enhanced glycolysis simulated by adding exogenous pyruvate could induce gemcitabine resistance, and melatonin treatment or silencing of ENO1 could intensify the cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine on BLCA cells. Excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated the inhibitory effect of melatonin on BLCA cells. Additionally, we uncovered that PPARγ was a novel upstream regulator of ENO1, which mediated the downregulation of ENO1 caused by melatonin. Our study offers a fresh perspective on the anticancer effect of melatonin and encourages further studies on clinical chemoresistance.

Dynamic crosstalk between hematopoietic stem cells and their niche from emergence to aging.

The behavior of somatic stem cells is regulated by their niche. Interaction between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their niches are a representative model to understand stem cell-niche interplay. Here, we provide an overview of crosstalk between HSCs and their niches in bone marrow and extramedullary organs following the life journey of HSCs from emergence, development, maturation until aging. We highlight the unique differences of HSC niches in different life stages within various organs focusing on recent literature to propose new speculations and hypotheses.

Role of bioactive peptides derived from food proteins in programmed cell death to treat inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Bioactive peptides are specific peptide which usually contains 2-20 amino acid residues and actively exerts various functions and biological activities and ultimately affect health. Programmed cell deaths are some styles of cell death discovered in recent years, which is the key to tissue development and balance, eliminating excess, damaged or aging cells. More importantly, programmed cell death is a potential way to treat inflammatory diseases and cancer. In this review, through screening references from 2015 to present, we introduce the effect of bioactive peptides derived from food proteins on inflammatory diseases or cancer through regulating programmed cell deaths, including apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis. And this review also introduces the targets of these bioactive peptides to regulate programmed cell death. The purpose of this review is to help to expand the prospective applications of bioactive peptides in the field of inflammatory disease and cancer to provide some guidance.

Repair of ATAAD with a 3D-printing assisted pre-windowed coated stent: A case report.

Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening vascular disease. We report a case of ATAAD treated with interventional therapy using 3D-printing assisted pre-windowing coated stent combined with in situ window-opening technology. There were few complications and the patient experienced an uneventful recovery.

Antipsychotic drugs induce vascular defects in hematopoietic organs.

Antipsychotic agents are clinically utilized to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders. These drugs induce neurological and metabolic side effects, but their influence on blood vessels remains largely unknown. Here, we show that haloperidol, one of the most frequently prescribed antipsychotic agents, induces vascular defects in bone marrow. Acute haloperidol treatment results in vascular dilation that is specific to hematopoietic organs. This vessel dilation is associated with disruption of hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), both of which are reversible after haloperidol withdrawal. Mechanistically, haloperidol treatment blocked the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) from HSPCs. Genetic blockade of VEGF-A secretion from hematopoietic cells or inhibition of VEGFR2 in endothelial cells result in similar vessel dilation in bone marrow during regeneration after irradiation and transplantation. Conversely, VEGF-A gain of function rescues the bone marrow vascular defects induced by haloperidol treatment and irradiation. Our work reveals an unknown effect of antipsychotic agents on the vasculature and hematopoiesis with potential implications for drug application in clinic.

The Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition-Related Signaling Pathways in Prostate Cancer.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common male malignancies with frequent remote invasion and metastasis, leading to high mortality. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process in embryonic development and plays a key role in tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Numerous long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could regulate the occurrence and development of EMT through various complex molecular mechanisms involving multiple signaling pathways in PCa. Given the importance of EMT and lncRNAs in the progression of tumor metastasis, we recapitulate the research progress of EMT-related signaling pathways regulated by lncRNAs in PCa, including AR signaling, STAT3 signaling, Wnt/ß-catenin signaling, PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling, TGF-ß/Smad and NF-κB signaling pathways. Furthermore, we summarize four modes of how lncRNAs participate in the EMT process of PCa via regulating relevant signaling pathways.

Porous Cr2O3 Architecture Assembled by Nano-Sized Cylinders/Ellipsoids for Enhanced Sensing to Trace H2S Gas.

How to achieve high sensing of Cr2O3-based sensors for harmful inorganic gases is still a challenge. To this end, Cr2O3 nanomaterials assembled from different building blocks were simply prepared by chromium salt immersion and air calcination with waste scallion roots as the biomass template. The hierarchical architecture calcined at 600 °C is constructed from nanocylinders and nanoellipsoids (named as Cr2O3-600), and also possesses multistage pore distribution for target gas accessibility. Interestingly, the synergism of two shapes of nanocrystals enables the Cr2O3-based sensor to realize highly sensitive detection of trace H2S gas. At 170 °C, Cr2O3-600 exhibits a high response of 42.8 to 100 ppm H2S gas, which is 3.45 times larger than that of Cr2O3-500 assembled from nanocylinders. Meanwhile, this sensor has a low detection limit of 1.0 ppb (S = 1.4), good selectivity, stability, and moisture resistance. These results show that the combination of nanosized cylinders/ellipsoids together with exposed (104) facet can effectively improve the sensing performance of the p-type Cr2O3 material. In addition, the Cr2O3-600 sensor shows satisfactory results for actual monitoring of the corruption process of fresh chicken.

SARS-CoV-2 spike spurs intestinal inflammation via VEGF production in enterocytes.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that often correlate with the severity of COVID-19. Here, we explored the pathogenesis underlying the intestinal inflammation in COVID-19. Plasma VEGF level was particularly elevated in patients with GI symptoms and significantly correlated with intestinal edema and disease progression. Through an animal model mimicking intestinal inflammation upon stimulation with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, we further revealed that VEGF was over-produced in the duodenum prior to its ascent in the circulation. Mechanistically, SARS-CoV-2 spike promoted VEGF production through activating the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling in enterocytes, but not in endothelium, and inducing permeability and inflammation. Blockage of the ERK/VEGF axis was able to rescue vascular permeability and alleviate intestinal inflammation in vivo. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation and therapeutic targets for the GI symptoms of COVID-19.

A "Blockchain" Synergy in Conductive Polymer-Filled Metal-Organic Frameworks for Dendrite-Free Li Plating/Stripping with High Coulombic Efficiency.

The performance of lithium-metal batteries is severely hampered by uncontrollable dendrite growth and volume expansion on the metal anodes. Inspired by the "blockchain" concept in data mining, here we utilize a conductive polymer-filled metal-organic framework (MOF) as the lithium host, in which polypyrrole (PPy) serves as the "chain" to interlink Li "blocks" stored in the MOF pores. While the N-rich PPy guides fast Li+ infiltration/extrusion and serves as the nucleation sites for isotropic Li growth, the MOF pores compartmentalize bulk Li deposition for 3D matrix Li storage, leading to low-barrier and dendrite-free Li plating/stripping with superb Coulombic efficiency. The as-fabricated lithium-metal anodes operate over 700 cycles at 5 mA cm-2 in symmetric cells, and 800 cycles at 1 C in full cells with a per-cycle capacity loss of only 0.017 %. This work might open a new chapter for Li-metal anode construction by introducing the concept of "blockchain" management of Li plating/stripping.
