Flexible crystals have gained significant attention owing to their remarkable pliability, plasticity, and adaptability, making them highly popular in various research application fields. The main challenges developing flexible lie the rational design, preparation, performance optimization of such crystals. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding fundamental origins crystal flexibility is crucial for establishing evaluation criteria design principles. This Perspective offers retrospective...
The chirality-dependent lattice distortion assisted by a crown ether leads to an intense STEs emission along with CPL. distinct endows the Sb halides multi-stimuli-responsive PL behaviours towards excitation wavelength and temperature.
Flexible molecular crystals are essential for advancing smart materials, providing unique functionality and adaptability applications in next-generation electronics, pharmaceuticals, energy storage. However, the optical of flexible have been largely restricted to linear optics, with nonlinear (NLO) properties rarely explored. Herein, we report on application mechanical twisting second-order optics. The crystal formed through self-assembly model compound 9-anthraldehyde (AA) features an...

Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is a substance with various biological activities extracted from barbarum. LbGPs are peptidoglycans short peptide backbone and complex, branched glycan moiety, which further isolated LBPs. Previous studies have shown that LbGP can inhibit cancer cell growth, but its specific mechanism not completely clear. In this study, we found could the proliferation of glioma cells promote expression period 2 (PER2) through PKA-CREB pathway. addition, de novo...
The high glucose uptake and activation of oncogenic signaling pathways in cancer cells has long made these features, together with the mutational spectrum, prime diagnostic targets circulating tumor (CTCs). Further, an ability to characterize properties at a single cell resolution is widely believed be essential, as known extensive heterogeneity CTCs can obscure important correlations data obtained from population-based methods. However, date, it not been possible quantitatively measure...
Abstract The nucleoprotein (NP) of Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) is an essential component the viral ribonucleoprotein complex significantly impacts replication transcription RNA genome. Although NP regarded as a promising antiviral druggable target, no chemical ligands have been reported to interact with EBOV or MARV NP. We identified two compounds from traditional Chinese medicine Gancao (licorice root) that can bind both NPs by combining affinity mass spectrometry metabolomics...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disorder in gastrointestinal tract. Shen Ling Bai Zhu San (SLBZS), which has long history of use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), been widely used to treat diseases. The isolated fractions TCM have also proved possess an important potential for treating diseases, are due their effective components.In this study, we examined the possibility that SLBZS its active may prevent DSS-induced colitis, investigated mechanisms...
Dynamic twisting crystals, combining the features of dynamic crystals and promise advanced applications in targeted drug delivery, biosensors, microrobots, spiral optoelectronics. However, determination with specific directions remains a formidable challenge practical applications. Herein, based on organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide (OIHMH) single we have realized chirality-induced macroscopic driven by thermo-induced topochemical dehydration reaction. These exhibit...
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major global health issue strongly associated with altered lipid metabolism. However, metabolism-related pharmacological targets remain limited, leaving the therapeutic challenge of residual lipid-associated cardiovascular risk. The purpose this study is to identify potentially novel genes by systematic genomic and phenomics analysis, an aim discovering new diagnosis biomarkers for CVD. Methods: In study, we conducted comprehensive...
The A‐site organic components of organic‐inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) significantly impact their crystal structure and optoelectronic properties. However, chemical modification cations has been mostly limited to commercial precursors, which restricts the structural variability OIHMHs for optimal functionalities. Herein we have proposed an extendable synthesis approach direct procurability various with desireable structures in situ construction a library OIHMH materials. template...

Adaptive crystals have attracted significant attention from solid-state chemists and crystal engineers for their promising applications in memories, capacitors, sensors, actuators. Among them, thermosalient are particularly favored thanks to efficient energy conversions rapid responses. However, the mechanisms mechanical responses of remain largely unclear. Herein we demonstrate that effects molecular could be driven by thermoelastic twisting behaviors. The crystal, based on a model compound...
Dynamic organic crystals are becoming recognized as some of the fastest materials for converting light or heat to mechanical work. The degree deformation and response time any actuating material often exclusive each other; however, both factors influence material's overall performance limits. Unlike polymers, whose disordered structures not conducive rapid energy transfer, cooperative phase transitions in dynamic molecular that amenable concerted martensitic-like structure switching could...
Osteoporosis, which is a prevalent metabolic bone disease, closely associated with imbalances in the gut microbiota. The ovaries of female 6-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were surgically removed to induce osteoporosis. Subsequently, 16S rRNA sequencing was employed characterize microbiota osteoporotic rats. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) isolated from and cultured separately, their osteogenic adipogenic differentiation observed. Furthermore, exosomes extracted these cells, miRNA...
Obesity is a debilitating global pandemic with huge cost on health care due to it being major underlying risk factor for several diseases. Therefore, there an unmet medical need pharmacological interventions curb obesity.
