Abstract Developing highly efficient carbon aerogels (CA) electrocatalysts based on transition metal‐nitrogen sites is critical for the CO 2 electroreduction reaction (CO RR). However, simultaneously achieving a high current density and Faradaic efficiency (FE) still remains big challenge. Herein, series of unique 3D hierarchical cross‐linked nanostructured CA with (MN, M = Ni, Fe, Co, Mn, Cu) developed RR. An optimal CA/N‐Ni aerogel, featured porous structure exposed M‐N sites, exhibits an...

PCV2 encodes protein ORF3, a putative with proapoptotic activity. Our early studies showed that infection triggers ER stress via selective activation of the PERK pathway, branch pathways, in permissive cells for enhanced replication and increased cytosolic Ca 2+ ROS levels. Here we clearly show or Cap expression induces ORF3-independent apoptosis mitochondrial levels cellular as result pathway.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a small DNA virus that depends heavily on host cells for its infection. This study reports the close relationship between subcellular localization of high-mobility-group box 1 (HMGB1) protein and viral replication during PCV2 Restriction by nuclear HMGB1 early step defense at host-pathogen interface. then upregulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) to prevent sequestration genome expelling into cytosol. It will be interesting if similar evasion strategy...

Mitochondrial dynamics is essential for the maintenance of cell homeostasis. Previous studies have shown that porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) infection decreases mitochondrial membrane potential and causes elevation reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may ultimately lead to apoptosis. However, whether PCV2 induce mitophagy remains unknown. Here we show PCV2-induced in PK-15 cells via Drp1 phosphorylation PINK1/Parkin activation. enhanced its subsequent translocation mitochondria. could be...
