Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with high prevalence, especially in children. Current treatments like topical glucocorticoids have limitations due to side effects and resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers alternative solutions, with Qin-Zhu-Liang-Xue (QZLX) decoction showing efficacy in AD treatment. This study explores the mechanisms of QZLX using network pharmacology and evaluates its clinical effects through trials and animal experiments.
Ovarian cancer, a leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies, has a poor prognosis and low 5-year survival rate, necessitating new therapeutic strategies. CDK4/6 inhibitors show promise but their efficacy varies, highlighting the need for biomarkers. This study explores TRIM4's role in ovarian cancer's response to CDK4/6 inhibitors, revealing that TRIM4, an E3 ligase, influences sensitivity by modulating hnRNPDL and CDKN2C levels.
This study explores the protective effects of trigonelline against spinal cord injury in rats.
The mechanism of radiosensitizing effect of Semen podocarpi extract on CNE-2R cells is explored.
The joint team from Nankai University and Peking University has proposed a novel approach using annealing-driven reassembly of micro-bubbles to engineer controllable artificial potential landscapes in atomically thin semiconductors. This technique facilitates active spatiotemporal control of exciton dynamics at room temperature, opening new avenues for high-performance sensing, energy harvesting, and quantum information processing.
An international research team led by scientists from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered an exceptionally preserved phosphatic stromatoporoid sponge from the Early Ordovician, dating back about 480 million years, in Yuan'an, Yichang, South China.
As the world shifts towards greener transportation solutions, electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of this transformation. However, one of the significant challenges facing EVs is the reliability and longevity of their lithium-ion batteries. A recent study by researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology introduces a novel method for detecting faults in both new and aged lithium-ion battery cells, ensuring the safety and efficiency of EVs throughout their lifespan.
