Abstract Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to ethanol, a clean and renewable liquid fuel with high heating value, is an attractive strategy for global warming mitigation resource utilization. However, converting ethanol remains great challenge due the low activity, poor product selectivity stability electrocatalysts. Here, B‐ N‐co‐doped nanodiamond (BND) was reported as efficient stable electrode selective ethanol. Good achieved on BND Faradaic efficiency 93.2 % (−1.0 V vs. RHE), which...

Extracellular high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) serves a central role in inflammation as transporter protein, which binds other immune-activating molecules that are endocytosed via the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE). These pro-inflammatory complexes targeted to endolysosomal compartment, where HMGB1 permeabilizes lysosomes. This enables HMGB1-partner avoid degradation, leak into cytosol, and reach cognate sensors. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) requires this pathway...

During a disease outbreak/pandemic situation such as COVID-19, researchers are in prime position to identify and develop peptide-based therapies, which could be more rapidly cost-effectively advanced into clinical setting. One drawback of natural peptide drugs, however, is their proteolytic instability; peptidomimetics can help overcome this caveat. In review, we summarize therapeutics that target one main entry pathway SARS-CoV-2, involves the host ACE2 receptor viral spike (S) protein...
