The structural design of multiple functional components could integrate synergistic effects to enhance the catalytic performance of MoS2-based composites for catalytic applications. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) Co-MoS2/Pd@NCMTs composites were designed to prepare Co-doped MoS2/Pd nanosheets (NSs) on N-doped carbon microtubes (NCMTs) from tubular polypyrrole (PPy) as multifunctional catalysts. The Co-MoS2/Pd@NCMTs composites integrated the synergistic effects of Co-doping, a 1D tubular structure, and noble-metal Pd decoration. Thus, a higher catalytic activity was observed in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction and peroxidase-like catalysis than other components, such as MoS2, MoS2@NCMTs, and Co-MoS2@NCMTs. Remarkably, the results indicated that the dissolution, diffusion, and redistribution led to the dissolution of MoO3@ZIF-67 cores and generation of Co-doped MoS2 NSs. Benefiting from the synergistic effect from these components, Co-MoS2/Pd@NCMTs were considered as a facile colorimetric sensing platform for detecting tannic acid. Moreover, outstanding performance was realized in the reduction of 4-NP with the composites. Thus, we provide a simple synthetic strategy for simultaneously integrating electronic engineering and structural advantages to develop an efficient MoS2-based multifunctional catalyst.
Classic fluorescent dyes, such as coumarin, naphthalimide, fluorescein, BODIPY, rhodamine, and cyanines, are cornerstones of various spectroscopic and microscopic methods, which hold a prominent position in biological studies. We recently found that 9-amino-benzo[c]cinnoliniums make up a novel group of fluorophores that can be used in biological studies. They are featured with a succinct conjugative push-pull backbone, a broad absorption band, and a large Stokes shift. They are potentially useful as a small-molecule alternative to R-phycoerythrin to pair with fluorescein in multiplexing applications.

Although the effect of lysosome-associated protein transmembrane 4 beta (LAPTM4B) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer (BC) cells has already been studied, its specific role in BC progression is still elusive. Here, we evaluated the effect of different levels of LAPTM4B expression on the proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and tumor formation abilities of BC cells in vitro, as well as on breast tumor progression in vivo.We investigated the influence of LAPTM4B expression on MCF-7 cell proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and tube formation abilities in vitro through its overexpression or knockdown and on breast tumor progression in vivo.Cell growth curves and colony formation assays showed that LAPTM4B promoted the proliferation of breast tumor cells. Cell cycle analysis results revealed that LAPTM4B promoted the entry of cells from the G1 into the S phase. Transwell invasion and cell extracellular matrix adhesion assays showed that LAPTM4B overexpression increased the invasion and adhesion capabilities of MCF-7 cells. More branches were observed in MCF-7 cells overexpressing LAPTM4B under an electron microscope. In comparison with LAPTM4B overexpression, LAPTM4B knockdown decreased the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A and significantly inhibited the vasculogenic tube formation ability of tumors. These results were also verified with western blot analysis.LAPTM4B promoted the proliferation of MCF-7 cells through the downregulation of p21 (WAF1/CIP1) and caspase-3, and induced cell invasion, adhesion, and angiogenesis through the upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), and MMP9 expression. This specific role deems LAPTM4B as a potential therapeutic target for BC treatment.
Due to its outstanding photo-catalysis properties, low-dimensional V 2 O 5 has many important applications in lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, electrochromic devices, photocatalysts, sensors, et al. As good photocatalysts for organic pollutants, some key issues of photocatalysts are charge generation, separation, transfer of nanocomposites under irradiation of visible light. To improve their important properties and pave the effective conductive channels for charge transfer and separation, low-dimensional V 2 O 5 /graphene nanoribbons nanocomposites were prepared . The emphasis is put on adsorption response to VOC of nanocomposite based on the QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) device. In order to investigate the mechanism of charge-generated by visible light, the photoconductivity response to visible light and 808 nm laser with low-power were studied based on interdigital electrodes of Au on flexible PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film substrate. Some good results were obtained. This illustrates that this nanocomposite can easily produce the charge-generate with visible light and 808 nm laser with low-power, avoiding the recombination of charge-generate by light. It would be good applications in remove the organic pollutants with photocatalysis effects.
