Researchers reveal how human genetics and intratumoral microbiota affect colorectal cancer

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A recent study led by the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has focused on this relationship and its effect on colorectal cancer. The study shows that the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2355016—a tiny DNA change that some people carry—affects how intratumoral microbiota adhere to tumor cells, promoting CRC progression.

The construction of S-scheme heterojunction for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The S-scheme heterojunction of CdS-In₂O₃ was fabricated by growing CdS quantum dots on the surface of In₂O₃ nanotubes through an electrostatic self-assembly method. The hollow nanotube structure endows the composites with a larger specific surface area and abundant H₂ generation sites. Moreover, the formation of the S-scheme heterostructure effectively facilitates the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers in CdS-In₂O₃ composites. Consequently, compared to pure CdS, the photocatalytic performance of CdS-In₂O₃ composites is significantly enhanced.
