Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) has been recognized as one of the crucial factors in cell cycle regulation and has been proposed as a potential target for cancer therapies, particularly for colorectal cancer (CRC). Due to the increased incidence rate of CRC and challenges associated with existing treatment options, there is a need for efficient an...

Background Pralsetinib, a targeted inhibitor of the RET enzyme, plays a critical role in the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) characterized by RET gene fusion mutations following platinum-based chemotherapy. Nevertheless, impurities resulting from the manufacturing and degradation of...

In this study, we adapted an HP D100 Single Cell Dispenser – a novel low-cost thermal inkjet (TIJ) platform with impedance-based single cell detection – for dispensing of individual cells and one-pot sample preparation. We repeatedly achieved label-free identification of up to 1,300 proteins from a single cell in a single run using an Orbitrap Fusi...

By means of highly accurate ab initio and dynamical calculations, we identify a suitable laser cooling candidate that contains a transition metal element, namely zinc monohydride (ZnH). The internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method is employed to compute the five lowest-lying Λ-S states of ZnH with the spin-orbit couplin...

Although carnosine (β-Ala-L-His) is one of physiological protectants against in vivo damages caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), its reactivity against singlet oxygen (1O2), an ROS, is still unclear at the molecular level. Theoretically, the reaction consists of two steps: i) oxygenation of the His side chain to form an electrophilic endoperox...

Introduction Soybean is a rich source of bioactive components with good nutritional support and is easily available. In the treatment of cancer, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from plant-based samples has gained attentions due to its potency and feasibility. In the present study, using soybean extracts (GM), silver nanoparticles ar...

The extensive use of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive has caused serious environmental problems that need to be addressed urgently. The feasibility of remediation of MTBE-contaminated groundwater by ZSM-5 zeolite with SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 50/130/360 was explored. The SiO2/Al2O3 ratio had a great influence on the physicochemical ...
