SCLC with high FOXM1 expression (N = 30, 57.7%) was significantly correlated with advanced clinical stage, extrathoracic metastases, and decrease in overall survival (OS), compared with the low-FOXM1 group (7.90 vs. 12.46 months). Moreover, the high-FOXM1 group showed shorter progression-free survival after standard chemotherapy, compared with the…[Read more]

lore the causality in the interplay between HEI and gut-microbiome composition in metabolism.

Our multi-omic analysis demonstrated that changes in metabolism, measured by either circulatory/gut metabolites or metabolic pathways, are influenced by not only diet quality but also gut microbiome alterations shaped by the quality of diet consumed.…[Read more]

The lasing-mode number was positively correlated with the length of the perovskite nanorods. Therefore, the prepared perovskite nanorod array with random sizes can be transformed into a quaternary cryptographic key array following encoding rules based on the lasing-mode number. Superior lasing stability was observed for the all-inorganic…[Read more]
