Formation of a highly dense tetra-rhenium cluster in a protein crystal and its implications in medical imaging

The fact that a protein crystal can serve as a chemical reaction vessel is intrinsically fascinating.That it can produce an electron-dense tetranuclear rhenium cluster compound from a rhenium tricarbonyl tribromo starting compound adds to the fascination.Such a cluster has been synthesized previously in vitro, where it formed under basic conditions

Transcriptomic Analyses of the Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence Identify Hallmarks Associated With the Onset of Colorectal Cancer

The concept of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in colorectal cancer (CRC) is widely accepted.However, the relationship between the characteristics of the transcriptome and the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in CRC remains unclear.Here, the transcriptome profiles of 15 tissue samples from five CRC patients were generated by RNAseq.Six specific dynamic ex

Microbial profiles and immune responses in seahorse gut and brood pouch under chronic exposure to environmental antibiotics

Ocean antibiotics pose substantial risks to the adaptation and lifespan of marine organisms.Seahorses are unique owing to the occurrence of brood pouches, male pregnancy, and loss of gut-associated lymphatic tissues and spleen, which lead to increased sensitivity to environmental changes.This study evaluated the changes in microbial diversity and i
