Abstract
Various semiconductor devices have been developed based on 2D heterojunction materials owing to their distinctive optoelectronic properties. However, to achieve efficient charge transfer at their interface remains a major challenge. Herein, an alloy heterojunction concept is proposed. The sulfur vacancies in ZnIn2S4 are filled with selenium atoms of PdSe2. This chemically bonded heterojunction can significantly enhance the separation of photocarriers, providing notable advantages in the field of photoelectric conversion. As a demonstration, a two-terminal photodetector based on the PdSe2/ZnIn2S4 heterojunction materials is fabricated. The photodetector exhibits stable operation in ambient conditions, showcasing superior performance in terms of large photocurrent, high responsivity (48.8 mA W-1) and detectivity (1.98 × 1011 Jones). To further validate the excellent optoelectronic performance of the heterojunction, a tri-terminal phototransistor is also fabricated. Benefiting from gate voltage modulation, the photocurrent is amplified to milliampere level, and the responsivity is increased to 229.14 mA W-1. These findings collectively demonstrate the significant potential of the chemically bonded PdSe2/ZnIn2S4 alloy heterojunction for future optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
One-for-all phototheranostics, referring to a single component simultaneously exhibiting multiple optical imaging and therapeutic modalities, has attracted significant attention due to its excellent performance in cancer treatment. Benefitting from the superiority in balancing the diverse competing energy dissipation pathways, aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are proven to be ideal templates for constructing one-for-all multimodal phototheranostic agents. However, to this knowledge, the all-round AIEgens that can be triggered by a second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) light have not been reported. Given the deep tissue penetration and high maximum permissible exposure of the NIR-II excitation light, herein, this work reports for the first time an NIR-II laser excitable AIE small molecule (named BETT-2) with multimodal phototheranostic features by taking full use of the advantage of AIEgens in single molecule-facilitated versatility as well as synchronously maximizing the molecular donor-acceptor strength and conformational distortion. As formulated into nanoparticles (NPs), the high performance of BETT-2 NPs in NIR-II light-driven fluorescence-photoacoustic-photothermal trimodal imaging-guided photodynamic-photothermal synergistic therapy of orthotopic mouse breast tumors is fully demonstrated by the systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations. This work offers valuable insights for developing NIR-II laser activatable one-for-all phototheranostic systems.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a frequently diagnosed gynecologic cancer. Identifying reliable prognostic genes for predicting EC onset is crucial for reducing patient morbidity and mortality. Here, a comprehensive strategy with transcriptomic and proteomic data was performed to measure EC's characteristics. Based on the publicly available RNA-seq data, death-associated protein kinase 3, recombination signal-binding protein for the immunoglobulin kappa J region, and myosin light chain 9 were screened out as potential biomarkers that affect the EC patients' prognosis. A linear model was further constructed by multivariate Cox regression for the prediction of the risk of being malignant. From further integrative analysis, exosomes were found to have a highly enriched role that might participate in EC occurrence. The findings were validated by qRT-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blotting. Collectively, we constructed a prognostic-gene-based model for EC prediction and found that exosomes participate in EC incidents, revealing significantly promising support for the diagnosis of EC.

Abstract
Identifying the cellular targets of bioactive small molecules within tissues has been a major concern in drug discovery and chemical biology research. Compared to cell line models, tissues consist of multiple cell types and complicated microenvironments. Therefore, elucidating the distribution and heterogeneity of targets across various cells in tissues would enhance the mechanistic understanding of drug or toxin action in real-life scenarios. Here, we present a novel multi-omics integration pipeline called Single-cell TargEt Profiling (STEP) that enables the global profiling of protein targets in mammalian tissues with single-cell resolution. This pipeline integrates single-cell transcriptome datasets with tissue-level protein target profiling using chemoproteomics. Taking well-established classic drugs such as aspirin, aristolochic acid, and cisplatin as examples, we confirmed the specificity and precision of cellular drug-target profiles and their associated molecular pathways in tissues using the STEP analysis. Our findings provide more informative insights into the action modes of bioactive molecules compared to in vitro models. Collectively, STEP represents a novel strategy for profiling cellular-specific targets and functional processes with unprecedented resolution.

Abstract
The Dll4-Notch signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of angiogenesis and is a promising therapeutic target for diseases associated with abnormal angiogenesis, such as cancer and ophthalmic diseases. Here, we find that polyethylenimine (PEI), a cationic polymer widely used as nucleic acid transfection reagents, can target the Notch ligand Dll4. By immunostaining and immunoblotting, we demonstrate that PEI significantly induces the clearance of cell-surface Dll4 and facilitates its degradation through the lysosomal pathway. As a result, the activation of Notch signaling in endothelial cells is effectively inhibited by PEI, as evidenced by the observed decrease in the generation of the activated form of Notch and expression of Notch target genes Hes1 and Hey1. Furthermore, through blocking Dll4-mediated Notch signaling, PEI treatment enhances angiogenesis in vitro. Together, our study reveals a novel biological effect of PEI and establishes a foundation for the development of a Dll4-targeted biomaterial for the treatment of angiogenesis-related disease.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly used for disease diagnosis and treatment. Among them, red blood cell-derived EVs (RBC-EVs) have attracted great attention due to their abundant sources and low risks of gene transfer (RBC-EVs lack nuclear and mitochondrial DNA). Here, we first revealed the high expression level of membrane protein solute carrier family 4 member 1 (SLC4A1) in RBC-EVs through proteomic analysis. We then identified several binding peptides with high affinity for the SLC4A1 extracellular domain (SLC4A1-EC) from phage display library screening. A high affinity of SLC4A1-EC and the three peptides (XRB2, XRE4, and XRH7) were assessed in vitro using surface plasmon resonance analysis and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The binding sites of SLC4A1-EC and polypeptides were further predicted by LigPlot + analysis, and the results showed that these three polypeptides could bind to part of the hydrophobic residues of SLC4A1-EC. The binding efficiency of the anchor peptides to the RBC-EVs was further verified by flow cytometry and fluorescence imaging. In conclusion, we successfully screened three specific RBC-EV-targeting peptides which could potentially be utilized for isolating RBC-derived EVs from serum samples. More importantly, this peptide could be coupled with targeting peptides to modify RBC-EVs for drug delivery. Our work will provide a viable method for optimizing the function of RBC-EVs.

Abstract
[18F]Gln-OSO2F, [18F]Arg-OSO2F, and [18F]FSY-OSO2F were designed by introducing sulfonyl 18F-fluoride onto glutamine, arginine, and tyrosine, respectively. [18F]FSY-OSO2F can be prepared directly by sulfur 18F-fluoride exchange, while [18F]Gln-OSO2F and [18F]Arg-OSO2F require a two-step labeling method. Those tracers retain their typical transport characteristics for unmodified amino acids. Both PET imaging and biodistribution confirmed that [18F]FSY-OSO2F visualized MCF-7 and 22Rv1 subcutaneous tumors with high contrast, and its tumor-to-muscle ratio was better than that of [18F]FET. However, [18F]Gln-OSO2F and [18F]Arg-OSO2F poorly image MCF-7 subcutaneous tumors, possibly due to differences in the types and amounts of transporters expressed in tumors. All three tracers can visualize the U87MG glioma. According to our biological evaluation, none of the tracers evaluated in this study exhibited obvious defluorination, and subtle structural changes led to different imaging characteristics, indicating that the application of sulfur 18F-fluoride exchange click chemistry in the design of radioactive sulfonyl fluoride amino acids is feasible and offers significant advantages.

Abstract
Effective strategies toward building exquisite nanostructures with enhanced structural integrity and improved reaction kinetics will carry forward the practical application of alloy-based materials as anodes in batteries. Herein, a free-standing 3D carbon nanofiber (CNF) skeleton incorporated with heterostructured binary metal selenides (ZnSe/SnSe) nanoboxes is developed for Na-ion storage anodes, which can facilitate Na+ ion migration, improve structure integrity, and enhance the electrochemical reaction kinetics. During the carbonization and selenization process, selenium/nitrogen (Se/N) is co-doped into the 3D CNF skeleton, which can improve the conductivity and wettability of the CNF matrices. More importantly, the ZnSe/SnSe heterostructures and the Se/N co-doping CNFs can have a synergistic interfacial coupling effect and built-in electric field in the heterogeneous interfaces of ZnSe/SnSe hetero-boundaries as well as the interfaces between the CNF matrix and the selenide heterostructures, which can enable fast ion/electron transport and accelerate surface/internal reaction kinetics for Na-ion storage. The ZnSe/SnSe@Se,N-CNFs exhibit superior Na-ion storage performance than the comparative ZnSe/SnSe, ZnSe and SnSe powders, which deliver an excellent rate performance (882.0, 773.6, 695.7, 634.2, and 559.0 mAh g-1 at current rates of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g-1 ) and long-life cycling stability of 587.5 mAh g-1 for 3500 cycles at 2 A g-1 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND It's still controversial whether Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication can reverse atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM). Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to estimate the effect of H. pylori eradication on AG and IM. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE datasets through April 2023 for epidemiological studies, which provided mean glandular atrophy (GA) or IM score before and after H. pylori eradication, or provided ORs, RRs or HRs and 95% CIs for the association of AG or IM with H. pylori eradication. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and pooled ORs and 95%CIs were used to estimate the effect of H. pylori eradication on AG and IM. RESULTS Twenty articles with a total of 5242 participants were included in this meta-analysis. H. pylori eradication significantly decreased GA score in the antrum (WMD -0.36; 95% CI: -0.52, -0.19, p < 0.01), GA score in the corpus (WMD -0.35; 95% CI: -0.52, -0.19, p < 0.01), IM score in the antrum (WMD -0.16; 95% CI: -0.26, -0.07, p < 0.01) and IM score in the corpus (WMD -0.20; 95% CI: -0.37, -0.04, p = 0.01). H. pylori eradication significantly improved AG (pooled OR 2.96; 95% CI: 1.70, 5.14, p < 0.01) and IM (pooled OR 2.41; 95% CI: 1.24, 4.70, p < 0.01). The association remained significant in the subgroup analyses by study design, sites of lesions, regions and follow-up time. Although Publication bias was observed for AG, the association remained significant after trim-and-fill adjustment. CONCLUSIONS H. pylori eradication could significantly improve AG and IM at early stage.

Abstract
The dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in the pancreatic cancer severely hampers the penetration of nanodrugs, which causes inferior therapeutic efficacy. To address this issue, a multifunctional liposome, namely, Lip-DTI/NO, integrating a type-I photosensitizer DTITBT with glutathione (GSH) or heat-responsive nitric oxide (NO) donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D-penicillamine (SNAP) is constructed to deplete the tumor ECM, leading to enhanced drug delivery and consequently improved phototherapy. The loaded DTITBT possesses multiple functions including NIR-II fluorescence imaging, efficient superoxide radical (O2 •- ) generation and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, making it feasible for precisely pinpointing the tumor in the phototherapy process. Responding to the intracellular overexpressed glutathione or heat produced by photothermal effect of DTITBT, NO can be released from SNAP. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, Lip-DTI/NO could selectively induce in situ generation of peroxynitrite anion (ONOO- ) in tumor after cascade processes including O2 •- production, GSH or heat-triggered NO release, and rapid reaction between O2 •- and NO. The generated ONOO- could activate the expression of endogenous matrix metalloproteinases which could efficiently digest collagen of tumor ECM, thus facilitating enhanced penetration and accumulation of Lip-DTI/NO in tumor. In vivo evaluation demonstrates the notable therapeutic efficacy via ONOO- -potentiated synergistic photodynamic-photothermal therapies on both subcutaneous and orthotopic pancreatic cancer model.

Abstract
Early detection and drug intervention with the appropriate timing and dosage are the main clinical challenges for ischemic stroke (IS) treatment. The conventional therapeutic agents relay fluorescent signals, which require real-time external light excitation, thereby leading to inevitable autofluorescence and poor tissue penetration. Herein, we report endogenous peroxynitrite (ONOO-)-activated BDP-4/Cur-CL NPs that release NIR afterglow signals (λmax 697 nm) for real-time monitoring of the progression of ischemia reperfusion (I/R) brain injury while releasing curcumin for the safe treatment of IS. The BDP-4/Cur-CL NPs exhibited bright NIR afterglow luminescence (maximum 732-fold increase), superb sensitivity (LOD = 82.67 nM), high energy-transfer efficiency (94.6%), deep tissue penetration (20 mm), outstanding antiapoptosis, and anti-inflammatory effects. The activated NIR afterglow signal obtained in mice with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) showed three functions: (i) the BDP-4/Cur-CL NPs are rapidly activated by endogenous ONOO-, instantly illuminating the lesion area, distinguishing I/R damage from normal areas, which can be successfully used for endogenous ONOO- detection in the early stage of IS; (ii) real-time reporting of in situ generation and dynamic fluctuations of endogenous ONOO- levels in the lesion area, which is of great value in monitoring the evolutionary mechanisms of IS; and (iii) dynamic monitoring of the release of curcumin drug for safe treatment. Indeed, the released curcumin effectively decreased apoptosis, enhanced survival, alleviated neuroinflammation, reduced brain tissue loss, and improved the cognition of MCAO stroke mice. This work is the first example of afterglow luminescence for early diagnosis, real-time reporting, drug tracing, and treatment for IS.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent global condition and a common precursor to liver cancer, yet there is currently no specific medication available for its treatment. Ginseng, renowned for its medicinal and dietary properties, has been utilized in NAFLD management, although the precise underlying mechanism remains elusive. To investigate the effectiveness of ginsenoside Rd, we employed mouse and cell models to induce NAFLD using high-fat diets, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. We explored and confirmed the specific mechanism of ginsenoside Rd-induced hepatic steatosis through experiments involving mice with a liver-specific knockout of SIRT6, a crucial protein involved in metabolic regulation. Our findings revealed that administration of ginsenoside Rd significantly reduced the inflammatory response, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, lipid peroxide levels, and mitochondrial stress induced by oleic acid and palmitic acid in primary hepatocytes, thereby mitigating excessive lipid accumulation. Moreover, ginsenoside Rd administration effectively enhanced the mRNA content of key proteins involved in fatty acid oxidation, with a particular emphasis on SIRT6 and its target proteins. We further validated that ginsenoside Rd directly binds to SIRT6, augmenting its deacetylase activity. Notably, we made a significant observation that the protective effect of ginsenoside Rd against hepatic disorders induced by a fatty diet was almost entirely reversed in mice with a liver-specific SIRT6 knockout. Our findings highlight the potential therapeutic impact of Ginsenoside Rd in NAFLD treatment by activating SIRT6. These results warrant further investigation into the development of Ginsenoside Rd as a promising agent for managing this prevalent liver disease.

Abstract
Multimodal phototheranostics on the basis of a single molecule with one-for-all characteristics represents a convenient approach for effective cancer treatment. In this report, a versatile molecule featured by aggregation-induced emission, namely DHTDP, synchronously enabling second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence emission and efficient photothermal conversion is developed by elaborate structural modulation. By camouflaging DHTDP nanoparticles with cancer cell membrane, the resultant biomimetic nanoparticles exhibit significantly both facilitated delivery efficiency and homologous targeting capability, and afford precise imaging guidance and maximize therapeutic outcomes in form of NIR-II fluorescence imaging (FLI)-photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-photothermal imaging (PTI) trimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). This study presents the first example of biomimetic multimodal phototheranostics loaded by homogeneity-targeting cell membrane, thus brings a new insight into the exploration of superior phototheranostics for practical cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) holds great promise to be applied for cancer therapy in clinical settings. However, its poor therapeutic efficacy has limited its applications owing to the apoptosis-resistant mechanism of cancer cells. Moreover, the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) also weakens the efficacy of immunotherapy in solid tumors. Therefore, reversing TME remains a formidable challenge. To circumvent these critical issues, we developed an ultrasound-augmented strategy to regulate the TME by utilizing an HMME-based liposomal nanosystem (HB liposomes), which can synergistically promote the induction of ferroptosis/apoptosis/immunogenic cell death (ICD) and initiate the reprograming of TME. The RNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that apoptosis, hypoxia factors, and redox-related pathways were modulated during the treatment with HB liposomes under ultrasound irradiation. The in vivo photoacoustic imaging experiment showed that HB liposomes enhanced oxygen production in the TME, alleviated TME hypoxia, and helped to overcome the hypoxia of the solid tumors, consequently improving the SDT efficiency. More importantly, HB liposomes extensively induced ICD, resulting in enhanced T-cell recruitment and infiltration, which normalizes the immunosuppressive TME and facilitates antitumor immune responses. Meanwhile, the HB liposomal SDT system combined with PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitor achieves superior synergistic cancer inhibition. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicate that the HB liposomes act as a sonodynamic immune adjuvant that is able to induce ferroptosis/apoptosis/ICD via generated lipid-reactive oxide species during the SDT and reprogram TME due to ICD induction. This sonodynamic nanosystem integrating oxygen supply, reactive oxygen species generation, and induction of ferroptosis/apoptosis/ICD is an excellent strategy for effective TME modulation and efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Cell cultures of dispersed cells within hydrogels depict the interaction of the cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) in 3D, while the coculture of different cells within spheroids combines both the effects of cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions. In this study, the cell co-spheroids of human bone mesenchymal stem cells/human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HBMSC/HUVECs) are prepared with the assistance of a nanopattern, named colloidal self-assembled patterns (cSAPs), which is superior to low-adhesion surfaces. A phenol-modified gelatin/hyaluronan (Gel-Ph/HA-Ph) hydrogel is used to encapsulate the multicellular spheroids and the constructs are photo-crosslinked using blue light. The results show that Gel-Ph/HA-Ph hydrogels with a 5%-to-0.3% ratio have the best properties. Cells in HBMSC/HUVEC co-spheroids are more favorable for osteogenic differentiation (Runx2, ALP, Col1a1 and OPN) and vascular network formation (CD31+ cells) compared to HBMSC spheroids. In a subcutaneous nude mouse model, the HBMSC/HUVEC co-spheroids showed better performance than HBMSC spheroids in angiogenesis and the development of blood vessels. Overall, this study paves a new way for using nanopatterns, cell coculturing and hydrogel technology for the generation and application of multicellular spheroids.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn batteries (AZBs) are a promising energy storage technology, due to their high theoretical capacity, low redox potential, and safety. However, dendrite growth and parasitic reactions occurring at the surface of metallic Zn result in severe instability. Here we report a new method to achieve ultrafine Zn nanograin anodes by using ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) molecules to manipulate zinc nucleation and growth processes. It is demonstrated that EGME complexes with Zn2+ to moderately increase the driving force for nucleation, as well as adsorbs on the Zn surface to prevent H-corrosion and dendritic protuberances by refining the grains. As a result, the nanoscale anode delivers high Coulombic efficiency (ca. 99.5%), long-term cycle life (over 366 days and 8800 cycles), and outstanding compatibility with state-of-the-art cathodes (ZnVO and AC) in full cells. This work offers a new route for interfacial engineering in aqueous metal-ion batteries, with significant implications for the commercial future of AZBs.

Abstract
The wafer-scale single-crystal GaN film was transferred from a commercial bulk GaN wafer onto a Si (100) substrate by combining ion-cut and surface-activated bonding. Well-defined, uniformly thick, and large-scale wafer size ReS2 multilayers were grown on the GaN substrate. Finally, ReS2 photodetectors were fabricated on GaN and sapphire substrates, respectively, and their performances were compared. Due to the polarization effect of GaN, the ReS2/GaN photodetector showed better performance. The ReS2/GaN photodetector has a responsivity of 40.12 A/W, while ReS2/sapphire has a responsivity of 0.17 A/W. In addition, the ReS2/GaN photodetector properties have reached an excellent reasonable level, including a photoconductive gain of 447.30, noise-equivalent power of 1.80 × 10-14 W/Hz1/2, and detectivity of 1.21 × 1010 Jones. This study expands the way to enhance the performance of ReS2 photodetectors.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered materials have attracted tremendous attention as photodetectors due to their fascinating features, including comprehensive coverage of band gaps, high potential in new-generation electronic devices, mechanical flexibility, and sensitive light-mass interaction. Currently, graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are the most attractive active materials for constructing photodetectors. A growing number of emerging TMDCs applied in photodetectors bring up opportunities in the direct band gap independence with thickness. This study demonstrated for the first time a photodetector based on a few-layer Re x Mo1-x S2, which was grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under atmospheric pressure. The detailed material characterizations were performed using Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on an as-grown few-layer Re x Mo1-x S2. The results show that both MoS2 and ReS2 peaks appear in the Re x Mo1-x S2 Raman diagram. Re x Mo1-x S2 is observed to emit light at a wavelength of 716.8 nm. The electronic band structure of the few layers of Re x Mo1-x S2 calculated using the first-principles theory suggests that the band gap of Re x Mo1-x S2 is larger than that of ReS2 and smaller than that of MoS2, which is consistent with the photoluminescence results. The thermal stability of the few layers of Re x Mo1-x S2 was evaluated using Raman temperature measurements. It is found that the thermal stability of Re x Mo1-x S2 is close to those of pure ReS2 and MoS2. The fabricated Re x Mo1-x S2 photodetector shows a high response rate of 7.46 A W-1 under 365 nm illumination, offering a competitive performance to the devices based on TMDCs and graphenes. This study unambiguously distinguishes Re x Mo1-x S2 as a future candidate in electronics and optoelectronics.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are generated by the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins or lipids. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one common complication in patients with diabetes. The accumulation of AGEs in retinal cells is strongly associated with the development of DR. AGEs can induce the breakdown of redox balance and then cause oxidative stress in retinal cells, exerting cytopathic effects in the progression of DR. The interaction between AGEs and the receptor for AGE (RAGE) is involved in multiple cellular pathological alterations in the retina. This review is to elucidate the pathogenetic roles of AGEs in the progression of DR, including metabolic abnormalities, lipid peroxidation, structural and functional alterations, and neurodegeneration. In addition, disorders associated with AGEs can be used as potential therapeutic targets to explore effective and safe treatments for DR. In this review, we have also introduced antioxidant phytochemicals as potential therapeutic strategies for the treatment of DR.

Abstract
Light-stimulated synaptic devices are promising candidates for the development of artificial intelligence systems because of their unique properties, which include broad bandwidths, low power consumption, and superior parallelism. The key to develop such devices is the realization of photoelectric synaptic behavior in them. In this work, visible-light-stimulated synaptic transistors based on CdSe quantum dot (CdSe QD)/amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O hybrid channels are proposed. This design can not only improve the charge separation efficiency of the photogenerated carriers, but also can induce delayed decay of the photocurrent. The improved charge separation efficiency enhances the photoelectric properties significantly, while the delayed decay of the photocurrent led to the realization of photoelectric synaptic behaviors. This simple and efficient method of fabricating light-stimulated phototransistors may inspire new research progress into the development of artificial intelligence systems.

Abstract
Increasing studies have found breast milk (BM) contains its own microbiota. However, the route through which microbes enter the BM is still unclear. In order to verify the entero-mammary pathway of BM, we designed a rigorous study that prevented oral bacteria from contaminating the breast and nipple skin (NS) during baby nursing. Thirty-one healthy, postpartum mothers living in southern China who were immediately separated from their newborn after delivery were enrolled in this study. Using an aseptic protocol for sampling, sterile water was used to wash the NS and was then collected. Then the first drop of BM was discarded and colostrum was collected manually. Amplicon sequencing was performed targeting the V3–V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene, and the differences between the microbiota of the colostrum and NS were analyzed. Additionally, the effects of environmental factors, such as the delivery mode and intrapartum antibiotic exposure, on the diversity of the colostrum microbiota were also analyzed. We found significant differences in the α diversity and richness between the BM and NS as evidenced by richness, Chao1, and Simpson indices. There were 170 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) shared by colostrum and NS, while 111 and 87 OTUs were unique, respectively, as well as a clear distinction in OTUs was observed by unifrac binary analysis between them. Linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis found that anaerobes, such as Bifidobacterium and Pantoea at the genus level and enterobacteria including Enterobacteriaceae at the family level, were predominant in the colostrum, while the predominant bacteria on the NS were Bacteroides, Staphylococcus, and Parabacteroides at the genus level. BM is colonized by bacteria prior to baby suckling, and the diversity of the colostrum microbiota differs from that of the NS. The predominant microbiota taxa in BM indicated that they were likely to be transferred to the breast through the intestinal tract. Our study provides direct evidence for the revolutionary active migration hypothesis. Additionally, factors like intrapartum antibiotic exposure did not significantly affect the diversity of the microbiota in the BM. Therefore, it is suggested that mothers continue to provide BM for their newborns during separation.

Abstract
There have been large foodborne outbreaks related to Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) around the world. Among its virulence proteins, the EspF encoded by locus of enterocyte effacement is one of the most known functional effector proteins. In this research, we infected the HT-29 cells with the EHEC wild type strain and EspF-deficient EHEC strain. Via the emerging technique isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), we explored the pathogenic characteristics of EspF within host cells. Our data showed that the differences regarding cellular responses mainly contained immune regulation, protein synthesis, signal transduction, cellular assembly and organization, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and apoptosis. Notably, compared with the EspF-deficient strain, the protein processing in the ER and ribosome were upregulated during wild type (WT) infection. Our findings proved that the EspF of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli induced ER stress in intestinal epithelial cells; the ER stress-dependent apoptosis pathway was also activated within the host cells. This study provides insight into the virulence mechanism of protein EspF, which will deepen our general understanding of A/E pathogens and their interaction with host proteins.

Abstract
The exploration of cellular organelle-specific anchoring photosensitizers with both prominent fluorescence imaging behavior and extraordinary reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capability is highly in demand but remains a severe challenge for effective cancer theranostics involving photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this contribution, we developed a cell membrane-targeting and NIR-emission photosensitizer having an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) tendency. The AIE photosensitizer, namely TBMPEI, is capable of lighting up and ablating cancer cells by means of a necroptosis procedure enabling cell membrane rupture and DNA degradation upon light irradiation, endowing TBMPEI with impressive performance for both in vitro and in vivo fluorescence imaging-guided PDT.

Abstract
Rhodiola rosea (Golden Root Extract; RR) is an herbaceous perennial, which is native to high altitude areas, such as East Asia, Central Asia, Siberia, and North America. It has been studied for its positive pharmacological effects on health. However, only a handful of studies have evaluated the effects of RR as an exercise supplement for sport and physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Rhodiola can be used as a supplement to improve human exercise ability. Studies were reviewed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines and conducted between August and November, 2021. Databases searched included Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, PubMed and East View Universal Database. Related terms were combined with keywords and MeSH subject headings using the corresponding Boolean operators: Rhodiola rosea, arctic root, roseroot, golden root, hongjingtian, and sports and exercise. A total of 10 papers were reviewed. Most of the studies reported that RR supplementation has a positive effect on athletic ability and sports performance, and no obvious adverse reactions were reported. Subjects taking RR showed a reduction in pain and muscle damage after exercise training, improved skeletal muscle damage, enhanced antioxidant capacity thereby reducing oxidative stress, reduced RPE scores, and improved athletic explosive power, but did not reduce the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scores. RR appears to act as a safe and effective supplementation for sport and exercise.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-emitting materials have been extensively studied due to their important applications in biosensing and bioimaging. Luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs) are a new class of highly emissive materials with strong potential for utilization in biomedical related fields because of their nearly unlimited structural and compositional tunability. However, very little work has been reported on organic linker-based NIR-MOFs and their emission properties. In the present work, a series of yttrium-tetracarboxylate-based LMOFs (HIAM-390X) are prepared via judicious linker design to achieve NIR emission with diverse structures. The introduction of an amino group not only offers the remarkable emission bathochromic shift from 521 nm, 665 nm to 689 nm for the resultant MOFs, but also influences the linker conformations, leading to the topology evolution from (4,12)-c ftw, (4,8)-c scu, which is rarely reported in rare earth element-based MOFs, to an unprecedented topology hlx for HIAM-3901 (without an amino group), HIAM-3905 (with one amino group) and HIAM-3906 (with two amino groups). Among these MOFs, HIAM-3907 shows an emission maximum at ∼790 nm, with the emission tail close to 1000 nm. The NIR emission may be attributed to the combination of the strongly electron-donating amino group and the strongly electron-withdrawing acceptor naphtho[2,3-c][1,2,5]selenadiazole. This work sheds light on the rational design of organic linker-based LMOFs with controlled structures and NIR emission, and inspires future interest in biosensing and bioimaging related applications of NIR-MOFs. Introduction of amino groups into linkers will not only induce a significant emission red-shift to near-infrared, but also increase structural diversity of resultant LMOFs, leading to structural change from ftw, scu to an unprecedented topology hlx.![]()

Abstract
Thermoleptolyngbya is a genus of non-heterocystous cyanobacteria that are typical inhabitants of hot spring microbial mats. These filamentous cyanobacteria are capable of nitrogen fixation. In this study, we examined the genome sequences of five publicly available Thermoleptolyngbya strains to explore their nitrogen fixation gene cluster. Analysis of the nitrogen-fixation clusters in these extremophilic strains revealed that the cluster is located in a single locus in Thermoleptolyngbyace. The average nucleotide and amino acid identities of the nitrogen-fixation cluster combined with phylogenetic reconstructions support that nitrogen fixation genes in Thermoleptolyngbyaceae are closely related to one another but also heterogeneous within the genus. The strains from Asia, and China more specifically, generate a separate clade within the genus. Among these strains Thermoleptolyngbya sp. PKUAC-SCTB121 has been selected for experimental validation of clade's nitrogen fixation capacity. The acetylene reduction experiments of that strain shown that the strain can reduce acetylene to ethylene, indicating a fully functional nitrogenase. The activity of nitrogenase has been tested using different gas compositions across 72 h and exhibited a two-phase trend, high nitrogenase activity at the beginning of the assay that slowed down in the second phase of the analysis.
