Enhancing catalytic durability in alkaline oxygen evolution reaction through squaric acid anion intercalation by Ruoyao Fan, Shanshan Lu, Fuli Wang, Yusheng Zhang, Mirabbos Hojamberdiev, Yongming Chai, Bin Dong, Bin Zhang

“…Abstract The corrosive acidic interfacial microenvironment caused by rapid multi-step deprotonation of alkaline oxygen evolution reaction in industrial high current water electrolysis is one of the key problems limiting its stability. Some functional anions derived from electrocatalysis exhibit special functionalities in modulating the interface microenvironment, but this matter has not received adequate attention in academic discussions. …”

Antigen-independent activation is critical for the durable antitumor effect of GUCY2C-targeted CAR-T cells by Xiaofei Wei, Lin Shen, Chang Liu, Cheng Zhang, Min Tao, Jian Li, Xicheng Wang, Ting He, Fei Dai, Changsong Qi, Mingyang Ma, Yanping Ding, Xinan Lu, Dongqun Liu

“…The underlying mechanism was further investigated based on mutation of the hinge and transmembrane domains.Results We found that the composition of the antigen-sensitive scFv, CD8α hinge, CD8α transmembrane, and CD28 costimulatory domains boosted CAR-T cells to rapidly kill tumors, maintain high expansion capacity, and long-term efficacy in various colorectal cancer models. The durable antitumor function was attributed to the optimal CAR tonic signaling that conferred CAR-T cells with autonomous activation, proliferation, survival and cytokine release in the absence of antigen stimulation. …”
