    Abstract Achieving carbon neutrality is a major strategy to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development. Training engineering undergraduates with sustainable development literacy is an important way to achieve this goal in the field of higher education. Based on the college impact model, this research surveyed 1070 engineering undergraduates in Chinese universities to explore the influence of institutional support on undergraduates' sustainable development literacy, and the empirical analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that institutional support positively and significantly influenced the sustainability development literacy of engineering undergraduates, and student engagement had a mediating role in the relationship between institutional support and sustainability development literacy. Relevant recommendations for cultivating engineering undergraduates with high-level sustainability development literacy are proposed here.

    Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is associated with a low survival rate and a high disability rate, making it a serious health burden, particularly in Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, improvements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction of OSCC are highly warranted. Autophagy has a significant impact on cancer development. Studies on autophagy in various human cancers have made outstanding contributions; however, the relationship between autophagy and OSCC remains to be explored. This review highlights the roles of autophagy in OSCC and discusses the relationship between autophagy and Epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Considering the lack of OSCC biomarkers, we focus on the studies involving OSCC-related bioinformatics analysis and molecular targets. Based on some classical targets, we summarize several key autophagy-related biomarkers with a considerable potential for clinical application, which may become the hotspot of OSCC research. In conclusion, we elaborate on the interrelationship between autophagy and OSCC and highlight the shortcomings of current studies to provide insights into the potential clinical strategies.

    Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and adaptive T cells remain a challenge to study because of a significant overlap in their transcriptomic profiles. Here, we describe the adoptive transfer of ILC progenitors into mice genetically deficient in innate and adaptive immune cells to allow detailed study of the development and function of ILCs and gene regulation in an in vivo setting. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Jacquelot et al. (2021) and Seillet et al. (2016).

    Abstract Reinvigorating the killing function of tumor-infiltrating immune cells through the targeting of regulatory molecules expressed on lymphocytes has markedly improved the prognosis of cancer patients, particularly in melanoma. While initially thought to solely strengthen adaptive T lymphocyte anti-tumor activity, recent investigations suggest that other immune cell subsets, particularly tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), may benefit from immunotherapy treatment. Here, we describe the recent findings showing immune checkpoint expression on tissue-resident and tumor-infiltrating ILCs and how their effector function is modulated by checkpoint blockade-based therapies in cancer. We discuss the therapeutic potential of ILCs beyond the classical PD-1 and CTLA-4 regulatory molecules, exploring other possibilities to manipulate ILC effector function to further impede tumor growth and quench disease progression.

    Abstract Adaptive and innate immune cells have typically been functionally and temporally segregated even though they share a number of salient features. Over the past decade, significant advances have been made in understanding the composition and diversity of both innate and adaptive cell populations. This has shed light on how cells from two distinct pathways are so highly complementary. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are pivotally positioned in tissues to form a stable population akin to tissue-resident T cells that protects the body. Nevertheless, the pathway by which different lymphocytes enter tissues, terminally differentiate and are replenished to maintain populations remains incompletely understood. Recent evidence challenges our assumptions about the sedentary lifestyles of so called 'tissue-resident cells' and pushes us to consider their roles in orchestrating protection of the immune system beyond the classical models.

    Abstract Interleukin-(IL) 22 production by intestinal group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) is critical to maintain gut homeostasis. However, IL-22 needs to be tightly controlled; reduced IL-22 expression is associated with intestinal epithelial barrier defect while its overexpression promotes tumor development. Here, using a single-cell ribonucleic acid sequencing approach, we identified a core set of genes associated with increased IL-22 production by ILC3. Among these genes, programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), extensively studied in the context of cancer and chronic infection, was constitutively expressed on a subset of ILC3. These cells, found in the crypt of the small intestine and colon, displayed superior capacity to produce IL-22. PD-1 expression on ILC3 was dependent on the microbiota and was induced during inflammation in response to IL-23 but, conversely, was reduced in the presence of Notch ligand. PD-1

    Abstract In this contribution, 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheets were synthesized by a simple two-step ultrasound strategy at room temperature, i.e. the 2D Ni-MOF with a lamellar structure was first synthesized by the top-down ultrasonic assisted stripping route, followed by introducing Fe3+ ions as a metal node and terephthalic acid as an organic ligand to form 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheets that exhibited weak oxidase-like and strong peroxidase-like properties. Relative to that of the single metal Ni-MOF and Fe-MOF, the peroxidase-mimicking capability of the 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheets increased by over 14-fold and 3-fold, respectively. Reactive oxygen trials indicated that the 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheets can efficiently catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to generate the ˙OH and O2˙- radicals, which can oxidize TMB to oxTMB from colorless to blue. The kinetic trial demonstrated the high affinity of the 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheet to H2O2 with a Km of 0.037 mM, which was 100 times lower than that of HRP. These impressive characteristics are likely related to the good dispersion of the in situ formed Fe MOF in the 2D Ni-MOF nanosheet structure with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites. This allows the 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheets to expose more active metal sites and to enhance the intrinsic catalytic activity of each site due to the synergistic interaction between the two metals. Interestingly, glutathione can obviously restrict the peroxidase-like activity of the 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanosheet, while the inhibited TMB oxidation can be restored upon further introducing Hg2+ ions due to the high and specific affinity of Hg2+ to thiol groups in glutathione. Based on the above facts, the 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanozyme was used to construct a nanoplatform to determine multiple targets, i.e. H2O2, glutathione and Hg2+. The 2D Ni/Fe MOF nanozyme-based colorimetric assay exhibits a linear response to H2O2, glutathione and Hg2+ ions over the 0.01-100 μM, 0.02-100 μM, and 100 nM to 200 μM ranges, respectively. The limits of detection (3σ) for the determination of H2O2, glutathione and Hg2+ are 10 nM, 10 nM, and 100 nM, respectively. This method was used to determinate the content of Hg2+ ions in real water samples.

    Abstract Rational design of high-performance nanozyme is of great significance for sensing applications. Here, N-doped carbon nanocages containing Co-Nₓ active sites (CoNₓ-NC) were fabricated by simple acid etching of Co@NC, which is the product of Co–Co Prussian blue analogues carbonized in an N₂ atmosphere. Both optimized Co@NC-650 and CoNₓ-NC-650 exhibit catalase- and oxidase-like properties. They rapidly decompose H₂O₂ into O₂ and oxidize colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into a blue product. This enables them with no peroxidase-like activity. The oxidase-like activity of CoNₓ-NC-650 is 3.9 times that of unetched Co@NC-650. The acid treatment dissolves Co nanoparticles generated during carbonization, forming extra mesoporous structures and increasing the exposure of more Co-Nₓ active species. The Michaelis–Menten constant for CoNₓ-NC-650 with a TMB substrate is 0.186 mM, which is 3.2 times lower than that of oxidase-mimicking CeO₂ nanoparticles, suggesting a higher affinity to TMB. Given its excellent oxidase-like activity, the CoNₓ-NC-650 was used to sensitively and selectively determine acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity based on thiocholine inhibition of the TMB color reaction. Thiocholine is produced via hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine catalyzed by AChE. The colorimetric biosensor has a linear response to AChE over 0.6–800 mU L–¹ concentration range and a detection limit (3σ) of 0.2 mU L–¹. The assay was successfully applied to determine AChE activity in biological samples.
