The primary challenge in commercializing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) mainly stems from fragile and moisture-sensitive nature of halide perovskite materials. In this study, we propose an asynchronous cross-linking strategy. A multifunctional cross-linking initiator, divinyl sulfone (DVS), is firstly pre-embedded into perovskite precursor solutions. DVS, also as a special co-solvent, facilitates intermediate-dominated perovskite crystallization manipulation, favouring formamidine-DVS based...

We performed a systems vaccinology analysis to investigate immune responses in humans to an H5N1 influenza vaccine, with and without the AS03 adjuvant, to identify factors influencing antibody response magnitude and durability. Our findings revealed a platelet and adhesion-related blood transcriptional signature on day 7 that predicted the longevity of the antibody response, suggesting a potential role for platelets in modulating antibody response durability. As platelets originate from...

T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity is crucial for adaptive immunity, yet baseline characterizations in pediatric populations remain sparse. We sequenced the TCRβ chain of 325 healthy Chinese children aged 0-18, categorized into six age groups. We also analyzed cellular composition and TCRβ associations using flow cytometry in 81 of these samples. Our results indicate a decrease in TCRβ diversity with age, characterized by an increase in high-frequency clonotypes and notable changes in CDR3 length...

Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by a decline in endothelial physiological functions, is a significant aspect of cardiovascular aging, contributing notably to arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Transient receptor potential channel V4 (TRPV4), a key member of Ca^(2+)-permeable channels, plays a crucial role in maintaining vascular functions. However, the role and mechanisms of TRPV4 in aging-related endothelial dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Here, we...
