RESUMEN
Aberrant energy metabolism in the brain is a common pathological feature in the preclinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Recent studies have reported the early elevations of glycolysis-involved enzymes in AD brain and cerebrospinal fluid according to a large-scale proteomic analysis. It's well-known that astrocytes exhibit strong glycolytic metabolic ability and play a key role in the regulation of brain homeostasis. However, its relationship with glycolytic changes and cognitive deficits in early AD patients is unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanisms by which astrocyte glycolysis is involved in early AD and its potential as a therapeutic target. Our results suggest that Aß-activated microglia can induce glycolytic-enhanced astrocytes in vitro, and that these processes are dependent on the activation of the AKT-mTOR-HIF-1α pathway. In early AD models, the increase in L-lactate produced by enhanced glycolysis of astrocytes leads to spatial cognitive impairment by disrupting synaptic plasticity and accelerating Aß aggregation. Furthermore, we find rapamycin, the mTOR inhibitor, can rescue the impaired spatial memory and Aß burden by inhibiting the glycolysis-derived L-lactate in the early AD models. In conclusion, we highlight that astrocytic glycolysis plays a critical role in the early onset of AD and that the modulation of glycolysis-derived L-lactate by rapamycin provides a new strategy for the treatment of AD.
RESUMEN
Lead-free perovskite solar cells with hybrid tin halides (Sn-PVKs) as harvesters have attracted attention with respect to eliminating the contamination of conventional hybrid lead halides. However, Sn-PVK films usually have inferior performance due to rapid crystallization and uncontrollable morphology. Moreover, Sn2+ ions suffer from irreversible oxidation that results in self-doping and device instability. Additive engineering is a key strategy for improving the quality of Sn-PVK films, but solid residues of additives could degrade the transport-recombination process. In this work, dipropyl sulfide (DPS) was introduced as a volatile additive into the precursor solution, and no residue exists in the Sn-PVK films after thermal annealing. The coordinating ability of DPS molecules stabilized Sn2+ ions to form the intermediate complex, which retards the crystallization and oxidation of Sn-PVK films. Consequently, the power conversion efficiencies of devices increase from 11.0% to 12.9% with less recombination and a lower leakage current, and the stability of the devices is improved simultaneously.

RESUMEN
AIMS: Necroptosis is one of programmed death that may aggravate spinal cord injury (SCI). We aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of exendin-4 (EX-4) on the recovery of motor function and necroptosis after SCI. METHODS: The SD rats with left hemisection in the T10 spinal cord as SCI model were used. The behavior tests were measured within 4 weeks. The effects of EX-4 on necroptosis-associated proteins and autophagy flux were explored. In addition, the SHSY5Y cell model was introduced to explore the direct effect of EX-4 on neurons. The effect of lysosome was explored using mTOR activator and AO staining. RESULTS: EX-4 could improve motor function and limb strength, promote the recovery of autophagy flux, and accelerate the degradation of necroptosis-related protein at 3 d after injury in rats. EX-4 reduced lysosome membrane permeability, promoted the recovery of lysosome function and autophagy flux, and accelerated the degradation of necroptosis-related proteins by inhibiting the phosphorylation level of mTOR in the SHSY5Y cell model. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that EX-4 may improve motor function after SCI via inhibiting mTOR phosphorylation level and accelerating the degradation of necroptosis-related proteins in neurons. Our findings may provide new therapeutic targets for clinical treatment after SCI.

Cardiomyopathies are a group of heterogeneous diseases, characterized by abnormal structure and function of the myocardium. For many years, it has been a hot topic because of its high morbidity and mortality as well as its complicated pathogenesis. The E2Fs, a group of transcription factors found extensively in eukaryotes, play a crucial role in governing cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, meanwhile their deregulated activity can also cause a variety of diseases. Based on accumulating evidence, E2Fs play important roles in cardiomyopathies. In this review, we describe the structural and functional characteristics of the E2F family and its role in cardiomyocyte processes, with a focus on how E2Fs are associated with the onset and development of cardiomyopathies. Moreover, we discuss the great potential of E2Fs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets, aiming to provide a reference for future research.
RESUMEN
Developing high-performance polarization-sensitive ultraviolet photodetectors is crucial for their application in military remote sensing, detection, bio-inspired navigation, and machine vision. However, the significant absorption in the visible light range severely limits the application of polarization-sensitive ultraviolet photodetectors, such as high-quality anti-interference imaging. Here, based on a wide-bandgap organic semiconductor single crystal (trans-1,2-bis(5-phenyldithieno[2,3-b:3',2'-d]thiophen-2-yl)ethene, BPTTE), high-performance polarization-sensitive solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors with a dichroic ratio close to 4.26 are demonstrated. The strong anisotropy of 2D grown BPTTE single crystals in molecular vibration and optical absorption is characterized by various techniques. Under voltage modulation, stable and efficient detection of polarized light is demonstrated, attributed to the intrinsic anisotropy of transition dipole moment in the bc crystal plane, rather than other factors. Finally, high-contrast polarimetric imaging and anti-interference imaging are successfully demonstrated based on BPTTE single crystal photodetectors, highlighting the potential of organic semiconductors for polarization-sensitive solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors.
RESUMEN
Clinical surgery can lead to severe neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunctions. It has been reported that astrocytes mediate memory formation and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), however, the thalamic mechanism of astrocytes in mediating POCD remains unknown. Here, we report that reactive astrocytes in zona incerta (ZI) mediate surgery-induced recognition memory impairment in male mice. Immunostaining results showed that astrocytes are activated with GABA transporter-3 (GAT-3) being down-expressed, and neurons were suppressed in the ZI. Besides, our work revealed that reactive astrocytes caused increased tonic current in ZI neurons. Up-regulating the expression of GAT-3 in astrocytes ameliorates surgery-induced recognition memory impairment. Together, our work demonstrates that the reactive astrocytes in the ZI play a crucial role in surgery-induced memory impairment, which provides a new target for the treatment of surgery-induced neural dysfunctions.

Bivalves hold an important role in marine aquaculture and the identification of growth-related genes in bivalves could contribute to a better understanding of the mechanism governing their growth, which may benefit high-yielding bivalve breeding. Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) is a conserved negative regulator of growth in vertebrates. Although SSTR genes have been identified in invertebrates, their involvement in growth regulation remains unclear. Here, we identified seven SSTRs (PySSTRs) in the Yesso scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis, which is an economically important bivalve cultured in East Asia. Among the three PySSTRs (PySSTR-1, -2, and -3) expressed in adult tissues, PySSTR-1 showed significantly lower expression in fast-growing scallops than in slow-growing scallops. Then, the function of this gene in growth regulation was evaluated in dwarf surf clams (Mulinia lateralis), a potential model bivalve cultured in the lab, via RNA interference (RNAi) through feeding the clams Escherichia coli containing plasmids expressing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) targeting MlSSTR-1. Suppressing the expression of MlSSTR-1, the homolog of PySSTR-1 in M. lateralis, resulted in a significant increase in shell length, shell width, shell height, soft tissue weight, and muscle weight by 20%, 22%, 20%, 79%, and 92%, respectively. A transcriptome analysis indicated that the up-regulated genes after MlSSTR-1 expression inhibition were significantly enriched in the fat digestion and absorption pathway and the insulin pathway. In summary, we systemically identified the SSTR genes in P. yessoensis and revealed the growth-inhibitory role of SSTR-1 in bivalves. This study indicates the conserved function of somatostatin signaling in growth regulation, and ingesting dsRNA-expressing bacteria is a useful way to verify gene function in bivalves. SSTR-1 is a candidate target for gene editing in bivalves to promote growth and could be used in the breeding of fast-growing bivalves.

Siphon is an effective method to transfer liquid from a higher to a lower level, which has many applications in hygienic design, clinical apparatus, and hydraulic engineering. Traditional operation requires energy to overcome gravity and establish flow in a closed system. Achieving sustainable high flux siphon drainage without energy input remains a challenge due to viscous dissipation. Here, an unexpected open siphon behavior on the South American pitcher plant Heliamphora minor consisting of trichomes covered pitcher and a wedge-shaped sheath is examined. Exploiting the concept of Digital Twin, a new biomimetic research method by transforming the biological sample to a virtual 3D model is proposed and unveiled that maintained connection of wicking on sub-millimeter long trichomes due to asymmetric pressure distribution and ascending in wedge sheath under unbalanced pressure forms continuous surface flow. Exploring this mechanism, a biomimetic siphon device achieving continuous high flux exposed to ambient air is constructed. Besides, particles floating on the meniscus in the outside wedge move under a curvature gradient as water ascends, which implies a biological nutrient capture method and new dust collection manner in the drainage system. Applying the underlying principle enhances the siphon efficiency of floor drains and has the potential for other liquid transfer device design improvements.
RESUMEN
Tin-based perovskite solar cells (Sn-PSCs) without toxic lead ions outperform other types of lead-free PSCs in terms of photovoltaic performance. To avoid the oxidation of Sn2+ cations and the formation of vacancy defects, most reports involve the addition of SnF2 to the perovskite precursor solution, but hybrid tin halide (Sn-PVK) films still suffer from poor crystallinity and stability. In this work, we used an alternative additive of tin trifluoromethanesulfonate (Sn(OTF)2). Compared to SnF2, the solubility of Sn(OTF)2 in the precursor solution is greatly improved, and the crystal nucleation process is delayed, resulting in the enhancement of crystal growth. The coordination ability of the OTF- anions suppresses the oxidation of Sn2+ cations, which promotes the stability of Sn-PVK films. By replacing the conventional additive of SnF2 with Sn(OTF)2, the device achieves an increase in power conversion efficiency from 7.96% to 10.3%, while the stability of the devices is improved simultaneously.
RESUMEN
High ambipolar mobility emissive conjugated polymers (HAME-CPs) are perfect candidates for organic optoelectronic devices, such as polymer light emitting transistors. However, due to intrinsic trade-off relationship between high ambipolar mobility and strong solid-state luminescence, the development of HAME-CPs suffers from high structural and synthetic complexity. Herein, a universal design principle and simple synthetic approach for HAME-CPs are developed. A series of simple non-fused polymers composed of charge transfer units, π bridges and emissive units are synthesized via a two-step microwave assisted C-H arylation and direct arylation polymerization protocol with high total yields up to 61 %. The synthetic protocol is verified valid among 7 monomers and 8 polymers. Most importantly, all 8 conjugated polymers have strong solid-state emission with high photoluminescence quantum yields up to 24 %. Furthermore, 4 polymers exhibit high ambipolar field effect mobility up to 10-2â cm2 V-1 s-1, and can be used in multifunctional optoelectronic devices. This work opens a new avenue for developing HAME-CPs by efficient synthesis and rational design.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Geological movements and climatic fluctuations stand as pivotal catalysts driving speciation and phylogenetic evolution. The genus Polyspora Sweet (Theaceae), prominently found across the Malay Archipelagos and Indochina Peninsula in tropical Asia, exhibits its northernmost distribution in China. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary and biogeographical history of the genus Polyspora in China, shedding light on the mechanisms by which these species respond to ancient geological and climatic fluctuations. METHODS: Phylogenetic relationships of 32 representative species of Theaceae were reconstructed based on the chloroplast genome and ribosome 18-26 S rRNA datasets. Species divergence time was estimated using molecular clock and five fossil calibration. The phylogeography and population genetics in 379 individuals from 32 populations of eight species were analyzed using chloroplast gene sequences (trnH-psbA, rpoB-trnC and petN-psbM), revealing the glacial refugia of each species, and exploring the causes of the phylogeographic patterns. RESULTS: We found that Chinese Polyspora species diverged in the middle Miocene, showing a tropical-subtropical divergence order. A total of 52 haplotypes were identified by the combined chloroplast sequences. Chinese Polyspora exhibited a distinct phylogeographical structure, which could be divided into two clades and eight genealogical subdivisions. The divergence between the two clades occurred approximately 20.67 Ma. Analysis of molecular variance revealed that the genetic variation mainly occurred between species (77.91%). At the species level, Polyspora axillaris consists of three lineages, while P. speciosa had two lineages. The major lineages of Chinese Polyspora diverged between 12 and 15 Ma during the middle to late Miocene. The peak period of haplotype differentiation in each species occurred around the transition from the last interglacial to the last glacial period, approximately 6 Ma ago. CONCLUSION: The primary geographical distribution pattern of Chinese Polyspora was established prior to the last glacial maximum, and the population historical dynamics were relatively stable. The geological and climatic turbulence during the Quaternary glacial period had minimal impact on the distribution pattern of the genus. The genus coped with Quaternary climate turbulence by glacial in situ survival in multiple refuges. The Sino-Vietnam border and Nanling corridor might be the genetic mixing center of Polyspora.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies in the world with poor prognosis. Despite the promising applications of immunotherapy, the objective response rate is still unsatisfactory. We have previously shown that Hippo/YAP signaling acts as a powerful tumor promoter in ESCC. However, whether Hippo/YAP signaling is involved in tumor immune escape in ESCC remains largely unknown. Here, we show that YAP directly activates transcription of the "don't eat me" signal CD24, and plays a crucial role in driving tumor cells to avoid phagocytosis by macrophages. Mechanistically, YAP regulates CD24 expression by interacting with TEAD and binding the CD24 promoter to initiate transcription, which facilitates tumor cell escape from macrophage-mediated immune attack. Our animal model data and clinical data show that YAP combined with CD24 in tumor microenvironment redefines the impact of TAMs on the prognosis of ESCC patients which will provide a valuable basis for precision medicine. Moreover, treatment with YAP inhibitor altered the distribution of macrophages and suppressed tumorigenesis and progression of ESCC in vivo. Together, our study provides a novel link between Hippo/YAP signaling and macrophage-mediated immune escape, which suggests that the Hippo-YAP-CD24 axis may act as a promising target to improve the prognosis of ESCC patients. A proposed model for the regulatory mechanism of Hippo-YAP-CD24-signaling axis in the tumor-associated macrophages mediated immune escape.

Innate defensive behavior is important for animal survival. The Vglut2+ neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) have been demonstrated to play important roles in innate defensive behaviors, but the neural circuit mechanism is still unclear. Here, we find that VTA - zona incerta (ZI) glutamatergic projection is involved in regulating innate fear responses. Combining calcium signal recording and chemogentics, we find that VTA-Vglut2+ neurons respond to foot shock stimulus. Inhibition of VTA-Vglut2+ neurons reduces foot shock-evoked freezing, while chemogentic activation of these neurons results in an enhanced fear response. Using viral tracing and immunofluorescence, we show that VTA - Vglut2+ neurons send direct excitatory outputs to the ZI. Moreover, we find that the activity of VTAVglut2 - ZI projection is pivotal in modulating fear response. Together, our study reveals a new VTA - ZI glutamatergic circuit in mediating innate fear response and provides a potential target for treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

Organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) are highly integrated and minimized optoelectronic devices with significant potential superiority in smart displays and optical communications. To realize these various applications, it is urgently needed for color-tunable emission in OLETs, but remains a great challenge as a result of the difficulty for designing organic semiconductors simultaneously integrating high carrier mobility, strong solid-state emission, and the ability for potential tunable colors. Herein, a high mobility emissive excimer organic semiconductor, 2,7-di(2-anthryl)-9H-fluorene (2,7-DAF) was reasonably designed by introducing a rotatable carbon-carbon single bond connecting two anthracene groups at the 2,7-sites of fluorene, and the small torsion angles simultaneously guarantee effective conjugation and suppress fluorescence quenching. Indeed, the unique stable dimer arrangement and herringbone packing mode of 2,7-DAF single crystal enables its superior integrated optoelectronic properties with high carrier mobility of 2.16â cm2 â V-1 â s-1 , and strong excimer emission with absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 47.4 %. Furthermore, the voltage-dependent electrically induced color-tunable emission from orange to blue was also demonstrated for an individual 2,7-DAF single crystal based OLETs for the first time. This work opens the door for a new class of high mobility emissive excimer organic semiconductors, and provides a good platform for the study of color-tunable OLETs.
RESUMEN
Fast and stable water drainage is essential for living organisms, drainage plane construction, and protection of infrastructure from damage during rainfall. Unlike traditional anti-overflow drainage methods that rely on hydrophobic or sharped edges, this study demonstrates a bottom overflow-induced drainage model inspired by the water path employed by Pontederia crassipes leaves, leading to fast and stable drainage. A superhydrophilic bottom surface guides water to overflow and pin at the bottom of a thin sheet, resulting in dripping at a higher frequency and reduced water retention. This bottom drainage idea assists large-scale thin sheets to function as efficient and stable drainage surfaces in simulated rain environments. The flexible thin sheet can also be feasibly attached to dusty substrates to effectively remove dusty rainwater with slight dust residue. The bioinspired approach presented herein suggests a promising potential for efficient water drainage on outdoor functional photovoltaic surfaces, such as solar panels and radomes, thus ensuring effective energy conversion and stable signal transmission.
RESUMEN
The construction of high-performance white organic light-emitting transistor (OLET) with uniform area emission is crucial for smart display technologies but remains greatly challenging. Herein, high-efficiency uniform area-emissive OLETs based on a unique lateral-integrated device configuration which incorporates efficient energy transfer of phosphorescent and fluorescent guests, enabling color-tunable and white emission, are demonstrated. Through precisely regulating the energy transfer between host and guests, high external quantum efficiency of 13.9% for white-emission OLETs is achieved due to the improved high exciton utilization and light outcoupling efficiency which is the highest value reported so far for OLETs and prevents exciton-charge annihilation and electrode photon losses. Moreover, good loop stability is also achieved, along with effective gate tunability and ultralow driving voltage of below 5 V. Finally, a 4 × 6 white-emission OLET array for full-color display is demonstrated for the first time, suggesting its great potential applications for advanced display technologies.
RESUMEN
Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) has attracted great attention by offering a zero-carbon-emission solution for clean water production. The manipulation of the surface structure of the evaporator markedly promotes the enhancement of light capture and the improvement of evaporation performance. Herein, inspired by seedless lotus pod, a flexible pristine polypyrrole (PPy) membrane with macro/micro-bubble and nanotube asymmetric structure is fabricated through template-assisted interfacial polymerization. The macro- and micro-hierarchical structure of the open bubbles enable multiple reflections inner and among the bubble cavities for enhanced light trapping and omnidirectional photothermal conversion. In addition, the multilevel structure (macro/micro/nano) of the asymmetric PPy (PPy-A) membrane induces water evaporation in the form of clusters, leading to a reduction of water evaporation enthalpy. The PPy-A membranes achieve a full-spectrum light absorption of 96.3% and high evaporation rate of 2.03 kg m-2 h-1 under 1 sun. Long-term stable desalination is also verified with PPy-A membranes by applying one-way water channel. This study demonstrates the feasibility of pristine PPy membranes in SDIE applications, providing guidelines for modulation of the evaporator topologies toward high-efficient solar evaporation.
RESUMEN
Neuropathic pain (NP) is often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities and currently lacks effective treatment. Prior research has shown that HDAC6 plays a crucial role in pain sensitization, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. HDAC6 inhibitors have been found to alleviate mechanical allodynia caused by inflammation and peripheral nerve damage. In this study, we investigated the cellular mechanisms of HDAC6 in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Our findings indicate that HDAC6 expression in the spinal cord (SC) is upregulated in a time-dependent manner following chronic constriction injury (CCI). HDAC6 is primarily expressed in neurons and microglia in the spinal cord. CCI-induced HDAC6 production was abolished by intrathecal injection of a microglia inhibitor. ACY-1215, a specific HDAC6 inhibitor, significantly reduced CCI-induced mechanical allodynia, but not thermal hyperalgesia. ACY-1215 also inhibited neuron activation and suppressed CCI-induced pyroptosis and neuroinflammatory responses. In summary, our results suggest that HDAC6 contributes to the development and maintenance of NP through neuronal activation and neuroinflammation. HDAC6 may be a promising target for treating NP.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the major energy carrier in organisms, and there are many cellular proteins that can bind to ATP. Among these proteins, kinases are key regulators in several cell signaling processes, and aberrant kinase signaling contributes to the development of many human diseases, including cancer. Hence, small-molecule kinase inhibitors have been successfully used for the treatment of various diseases. Since the ATP-binding pockets are similar for many kinases, it is very important to evaluate the selectivity of different kinase inhibitors. We report here a clickable ATP photoaffinity probe for the global profiling of ATP-binding proteins. After incubating the protein lysate with the ATP probe followed by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, ATP-binding proteins were labeled with an alkyne handle for subsequent biotin conjugation through click chemistry. Labeled proteins were enriched with streptavidin beads, digested with trypsin, and analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). More than 400 ATP-binding proteins, including approximately 200 kinases, could be identified in a single LC-MS/MS run in the data-dependent acquisition mode. We then applied this method to the analysis of targets of three selected ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors. We were able to successfully identify some of their reported target proteins from label-free quantification results and validated the results using Western blot analyses. Together, we developed a clickable ATP photoaffinity probe for proteome-wide profiling of ATP-binding proteins and demonstrated that this chemoproteomic method is amenable to high-throughput target identification of kinase inhibitors.
