Dynamically Cyclic Fe2+/Fe3+ Active Sites as Electron and Proton-Feeding Centers Boosting CO2 Photoreduction Powered by Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation by Ben Lei, Gaofeng Zhou, Zhongyou Gong, Chao Liu, Ying Zhou, Vitaliy P. Guro, Yanjuan Sun, Jianping Sheng, Fan Dong

“…The synchronized proton-coupled electron transfer processes between the reduction and oxidation half-reactions on CSB-Fc NCs resulted in a 5-fold increase in the CO2 reduction rate (45.56 μmol g−1 h−1, 97.9% CO selectivity) and a 5.8-fold enhancement in benzyl alcohol conversion (97.7% selectivity for benzaldehyde) compared to the CSB. In situ Raman and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra revealed that the dynamic Fe2+/Fe3+ redox loop within the Fc unit serves as the actual active site, facilitating the activation of substrate molecules. …”

Acylated Ghrelin Renders Chemosensitive Ovarian Cancer Cells Resistant to Cisplatin Chemotherapy via Activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Survival Pathway by Attalla Farag El-kott, Ali A. Shati, Mohammed Ali Al-kahtani, Sultan Alqahtani

“…Interestingly, pre-incubating the cells with either [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6 or LY294002 completely abolished the above-mentioned effect of AG in both control and Cis-treated cells. In conclusion, the findings of this study show that AG promotes cell survival of the OC cells and renders them resistat to Cis therapy, an effect that is mediated by the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR and activation of NF-κB, and requires GHS-R1a.…”

Caffeoylquinic Acid Derivatives Extract of Erigeron multiradiatus Alleviated Acute Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats through Inhibiting NF-KappaB and JNK Activations by Zhifeng Zhang, Yuan Liu, Xuecong Ren, Hua Zhou, Kaishun Wang, Hao Zhang, Pei Luo

“…Our results suggested that cardioprotective effect of AE could be due to suppressing myocardial inflammatory response and blocking NF-κB and JNK activation pathway. Thus, caffeoylquinic acids might be the active compounds in E. multiradiatus on myocardial ischemia and be a potential natural drug for treating myocardial I/R injury.…”
