Exploring the multifaceted therapeutic potential of linalool in triple negative breast cancer integrating in vitro, in silico, and network pharmacology approaches

A very aggressive type of breast cancer is triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), leading to few treatment options, poor prognosis, and overall survival. The current trend in the application of natural compounds, especially essential oils, is an appropriate therapeutic approach with low toxicity against cancer. The main...

Heteroatomic Engineering in Chemical Vapor Transport‐Grown 2D Single Crystals: Electronic Modulation and Emergent Quantum Phenomena

Layered transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as an incipient class of low‐dimensional quantum materials owing to their highly tunable electronic, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties. In recent years, controlled electronic modulation through substitution, intercalation, surface doping, and inters...

Unveiling Strong Electron Correlations and Charge Density Wave Instability in NbTe2 Induced by Sn Incorporation

The interplay between charge density waves (CDWs) and electron correlations in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) remains a subject of intense debate. NbTe2 is a unique member of this family, exhibiting a significant structural distortion and a high-temperature CDW transition (∼550 K). However, this comparably h...

Synergistic Bimolecular Passivation Stabilizing Surface States for High Performance HTL‐Free Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

The inevitable photothermal‐induced desorption of functional molecules at the perovskite film surface would resurge the passivated surface defect states and cause severe recombination, thereby affecting both photovoltaic performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we report a synergistic bimolecul...

Seed derived fungi modulate maize responses to Cd stress

Spearman correlation and redundancy analyses identified associations among plant growth, exchangeable Cd, tissue Cd accumulation, antioxidant related responses and rhizosphere Cd partitioning among Seed derived fungal isolates.

Carbonation and Restrained Shrinkage Cracking as Coupled Service-Life Controls in Low-Carbon Building Concrete: A Critical Review

Embodied-CO2 savings in clinker-reduced concrete must be evaluated alongside cover-zone durability and service life. This review examines carbonation and shrinkage/restrained cracking as coupled, rather than independent, controls on atmospheric service life in reinforced concrete buildings. The synthesis links binder r...

A critical mechanistic synthesis of PINK1-mediated mitophagy signaling and its therapeutic targeting in Parkinson's disease neurodegeneration.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is associated with loss of dopaminergic neurons, mitochondrial dysfunction and disruption of cellular homeostasis. PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) plays a crucial role in mitochondrial quality control by regulating mitophagy, mitochondrial dynamics...

Loss of Zbtb20 disrupts cochlear supporting cell differentiation and maturation and extends the postnatal hair cell regenerative window in mice

Comparative effects of exercise, dietary supplements, and effective food interventions on endurance and agility performance among runners

Endurance and agility jointly determine competitive success in middle-distance and distance running, yet the relative contributions of training and nutrition interventions remain unresolved. This randomized controlled, pre-test/post-test study examined whether Regular Exercise, Dietary Supplements, Effective Food (whol...

Unlocking the potential of Zn-PBA as electrode material for supercapacitor and electrocatalytic applications

Uncertainty-aware digital stratigraphic reconstruction of geotechnical variability using vertically augmented empirical Bayesian Kriging

QbD aided optimization and molecular docking of pH-sensitive hydrogels for targeted colon delivery in ulcerative colitis

The optimized pH-sensitive hydrogel providing an effective sustained-release system for balsalazide disodium has been successfully developed, exhibiting promising pH-responsive drug-release characteristics.
