ImportanceEstimating absolute risk of lung cancer for never-smoking individuals is important to inform lung cancer screening programs.ObjectivesTo integrate data on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), a known lung cancer risk factor, with a polygenic risk score (PRS) that captures overall genetic susceptibility, to estimate the absolute risk of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) among never-smokers in Taiwan.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThe analyses were conducted in never-smoking women in the Taiwan Genetic Epidemiology Study of Lung Adenocarcinoma, a case-control study. Participants were recruited between September 17, 2002, and March 30, 2011. Data analysis was performed from January 17 to July 15, 2022.ExposuresA PRS was derived using 25 genetic variants that achieved genome-wide significance (P &amp;lt; 5 × 10−8) in a recent genome-wide association study, and ETS was defined as never exposed, exposed at home or at work, and exposed at home and at work.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe Individualized Coherent Absolute Risk Estimator software was used to estimate the lifetime absolute risk of LUAD in never-smoking women aged 40 years over a projected 40-year span among the controls by using the relative risk estimates for the PRS and ETS exposures, as well as age-specific lung cancer incidence rates for never-smokers in Taiwan. Likelihood ratio tests were conducted to assess an additive interaction between the PRS and ETS exposure.ResultsData were obtained on 1024 women with LUAD (mean [SD] age, 59.6 [11.4] years, 47.9% ever exposed to ETS at home, and 19.5% ever exposed to ETS at work) and 1024 controls (mean [SD] age, 58.9 [11.0] years, 37.0% ever exposed to ETS at home, and 14.3% ever exposed to ETS at work). The overall average lifetime 40-year absolute risk of LUAD estimated using PRS alone was 2.5% (range, 0.6%-10.3%) among women never exposed to ETS. When integrating both ETS and PRS data, the estimated absolute risk was 3.7% (range, 0.6%-14.5%) for women exposed to ETS at home or work and 5.3% (range, 1.2%-12.1%) for women exposed to ETS at home and work. A super-additive interaction between ETS and the PRS (P = 6.5 × 10−4 for interaction) was identified.Conclusions and RelevanceThis study found differences in absolute risk of LUAD attributed to genetic susceptibility according to levels of ETS exposure in never-smoking women. Future studies are warranted to integrate these findings in expanded risk models for LUAD.

Published: November 2023

AbstractA fundamental understanding of inflammation and tissue healing suggests that the precise regulation of the inflammatory phase, both in terms of location and timing, is crucial for bone regeneration. However, achieving the activation of early inflammation without causing chronic inflammation while facilitating quick inflammation regression to promote bone regeneration continues to pose challenges. This study reveals that black phosphorus (BP) accelerates bone regeneration by building an osteogenic immunological microenvironment. BP amplifies the acute pro‐inflammatory response and promotes the secretion of anti‐inflammatory factors to accelerate inflammation regression and tissue regeneration. Mechanistically, BP creates an osteoimmune‐friendly microenvironment by stimulating macrophages to express interleukin 33 (IL‐33), amplifying the inflammatory response at an early stage, and promoting the regression of inflammation. In addition, BP‐mediated IL‐33 expression directly promotes osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which further facilitates bone repair. To the knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the immunomodulatory potential of BP in bone regeneration through the regulation of both early‐stage inflammatory responses and later‐stage inflammation resolution, along with the associated molecular mechanisms. This discovery serves as a foundation for the clinical use of BP and is an efficient approach for managing the immune microenvironment during bone regeneration.

Published: November 2023

AbstractTwo‐coordinate coinage metal complexes have emerged as promising emitters for highly efficient organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs). However, achieving efficient long‐wavelength electroluminescence emission from these complexes remains as a daunting challenge. To address this challenge, molecular design strategies aimed at bolstering the photoluminescence quantum yield (Φ) of Au(I) complex emitters in low‐energy emission regions are investigated. By varying amido ligands, a series of two‐coordinate Au(I) complexes is developed that exhibit photoluminescence peak wavelengths over a broad range of 533−750 nm. These complexes, in particular, maintain Φ values up to 10% even in the near‐infrared emission region, overcoming the constraints imposed by an energy gap. Quantum chemical calculations and photophysical analyses reveal the action of radiative control, which serves to overcome the energy gap law, becomes more pronounced as the overlap between hole and electron distributions (Sr(r)) in the excited state increases. It is further elucidated that Sr(r) increases with the distance between the hole‐distribution centroid and the nitrogen atom in an amido ligand. Finally, multilayer OLEDs involving the Au(I) complex emitters exhibit performances beyond the borderline of the electroluminescence wavelength−external quantum efficiency space set by previous devices of coinage metal complexes.
A Mammalian Conserved Circular RNA CircLARP1B Regulates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis and Lipid Metabolism

Published: November 2023

AbstractCircular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in physiology and human diseases. However, evolutionarily conserved circRNAs with potent functions in cancers are rarely reported. In this study, a mammalian conserved circRNA circLARP1B is identified to play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with high circLARP1B levels have advanced prognostic stage and poor overall survival. CircLARP1B facilitates cellular metastatic properties and lipid accumulation through promoting fatty acid synthesis in HCC. CircLARP1B deficient mice exhibit reduced metastasis and less lipid accumulation in an induced HCC model. Multiple lines of evidence demonstrate that circLARP1B binds to heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D (HNRNPD) in the cytoplasm, and thus affects the binding of HNRNPD to sensitive transcripts including liver kinase B1 (LKB1) mRNA. This regulation causes decreased LKB1 mRNA stability and lower LKB1 protein levels. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide complementary to theHNRNPD binding sites in circLARP1B increases the HNRNPD binding to LKB1 mRNA. Through the HNRNPD–LKB1–AMPK pathway, circLARP1B promotes HCC metastasis and lipid accumulation. Results from AAV8‐mediated hepatocyte‐directed knockdown of circLARP1B or Lkb1 in mouse models also demonstrate critical roles of hepatocytic circLARP1B regulatory pathway in HCC metastasis and lipid accumulation, and indicate that circLARP1B may be potential target of HCC treatment.

Published: November 2023

AbstractIntegration of magnetic materials into bio‐integrated flexible electronics will bring multi‐functionality, such as magnetoception and wireless communication. In practical application, the performance of magnetic materials and devices should remain stable during cyclic bending–unbending and they can be degradable within a designated lifetime. However, direct integration of magnetic materials with flexible and biocompatible materials and maintaining mechanically stable microwave performance have not been achieved yet. Here, ultrathin (5–50 nm) permalloy (NiFe) films deposited on biocompatible silk fibroin (SF) films are shown to be bending stable, and dissolvable. The ferromagnetic properties of NiFe films deposited on SF, Kapton, and silicon are studied and compared by ferromagnetic resonance. Benefiting from the low surface roughness of fibroin, which is only ≈0.8 nm, SF/NiFe films exhibit comparable ferromagnetic properties to Si/NiFe, better than that of Kapton/NiFe films. Moreover, the ferromagnetic resonance field of SF/NiFe films remains highly stable during cyclic bending that is exposed to both compressive and tensile strain/stress, and its temperature stability is very close to that of Si/NiFe. Finally, the whole SF/NiFe films are demonstrated to be dissolvable and biocompatible. Therefore, SF/NiFe films can be a useful and stable platform for flexible and biocompatible microwave applications.

AbstractA new ultraviolet photodetector (UV PD) is successfully fabricated based on 2D NbWO6 (NWO) nanosheets for the first time, which is synthesized by a facile solid‐state reaction, ion exchange and liquid exfoliation process. The NWO nanosheet‐based PDs exhibit excellent UV detecting performance at 1 V at 290 nm, high responsivity (378 A W−1), high external quantum efficiency (EQE, 1.6 × 104%), high spectral selectivity (R290/R400 = 8.84 × 103) and fast speed (1.05/88 ms). Furthermore, the NbWO6 nanosheets film based PD shows great potential for the application in UV image sensing. This work provides a feasible strategy for the development of new UV PDs based on other potential layered niobates.

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn order to improve the performance of organic luminescent materials, lots of studies have been carried out at the molecular level. However, these materials are mostly applied as solids or aggregates in practical applications, in which the relationship between aggregation structure and luminescent property should be paid more attention. Here, we obtained five phenothiazine 5,5‐dioxide (O‐PTZ) derivatives with distinct molecular conformations by rational design of chemical structures, and systematically studied their room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) effect in solid state. It was found that O‐PTZ dimers with quasi‐equatorial (eq) conformation tended to show stronger π‐π interaction than quasi‐axial (ax) conformers in crystal state, which was more conducive to the generation of RTP. Based on this result, a multi‐level structural model of organic solids was proposed to draw the relationship between aggregation structure and RTP effect, just like the research for the structure‐property relationship of proteins. Using this structural model as the guide, boosted RTP efficiency from 1% to 20% was successfully achieved in the corresponding host‐guest doping system, showing its wide applicability.
Molecularly generated light and its biomedical applications
Authors: Ran Chongzhao , Pu Kanyi 
Published: November 2023

AbstractMolecularly generated light, referred to here as “molecular light”, mainly includes bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, and Cerenkov luminescence. Molecular light possesses unique dual features of being both a molecule and a source of light. Its molecular nature enables it to be delivered as molecules to regions deep within the body, overcoming the limitations of natural sunlight and physically generated light sources like lasers and LEDs. Simultaneously, its light properties make it valuable for applications such as imaging, photodynamic therapy, photo‐oxidative therapy, and photobiomodulation. In this review article, we provide an updated overview of the diverse applications of molecular light and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of molecular light across various domains. Lastly, we present forward‐looking perspectives on the potential of molecular light in the realms of molecular imaging, photobiological mechanisms, therapeutic applications, and photobiomodulation. While some of these perspectives may be considered bold and contentious, our intent is to inspire further innovations in the field of molecular light applications.

AbstractThe chiral‐induced spin selectivity effect (CISS) is a breakthrough phenomenon that has revolutionized the field of electrocatalysis. We report the first study on the electron spin‐dependent electrocatalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction, ORR, using iron phthalocyanine, FePc, a well‐known molecular catalyst for this reaction. The FePc complex belongs to the non‐precious catalysts group, whose active site, FeN4, emulates catalytic centers of biocatalysts such as Cytochrome c. This study presents an experimental platform involving FePc self‐assembled to a gold electrode surface using chiral peptides (L and D enantiomers), i.e., chiro‐self‐assembled FePc systems (CSAFePc). The chiral peptides behave as spin filters axial ligands of the FePc. One of the main findings is that the peptides′ handedness and length in CSAFePc can optimize the kinetics and thermodynamic factors governing ORR. Moreover, the D‐enantiomer promotes the highest electrocatalytic activity of FePc for ORR, shifting the onset potential up to 1.01 V vs. RHE in an alkaline medium, a potential close to the reversible potential of the O2/H2O couple. Therefore, this work has exciting implications for developing highly efficient and bioinspired catalysts, considering that, in biological organisms, biocatalysts that promote O2 reduction to water comprise L‐enantiomers.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThis study documents the incidences of complete and partial metopism and their possible relationship to frontal sinus volume (FSV) in a sample of modern adult black South Africans with a view to evaluating the hypothesis that metopism affects frontal sinus hypoplasia. FSV was measured from CT scans and the incidence of metopism was recorded from direct observations of dried cadaveric crania. The sex of each individual was known. Four linear cranial dimensions were used to compute a geometric mean by which to scale FSV. The incidence of partial metopism (38%) is comparable to that reported for other population samples, although there is considerable variation among these global sample frequencies. It is significantly more common in male than female South Africans. FSV in individuals with complete metopism is smaller than average but not inordinately so. On the other hand, FSV is significantly larger in individuals with partial metopism than in those that do not present with this sutural remnant. The data on FSV in individuals with and without partial metopism contradict the hypothesis that there is a relationship between partial metopism and frontal sinus hypoplasia. As such, the metopic remnant evinced by the Late Pleistocene cranium from Hofmeyr, South Africa is unlikely to be related to its very small FSV.
