    Abstract To open the black box of how open innovation works at the network level, we particularly focused on the effects of TFs’ collective openness of external knowledge search on RIN innovation performance in different innovation environments of disruptiveness. To conduct the research, we adopted a bottom-up research approach and designed an agent-based simulation model. The simulation results show that either collective breadth or depth exerts significant effects on the RIN innovation performance, and their effectiveness is significantly moderated by disruptiveness. Our results reveal the followings: (1) RIN innovation performance can be considerably enhanced by high collective openness, but it is not necessarily true that more collective openness is better, which reflects that the “inverted U-shaped” relationships broadly argued in firm-level open innovation studies also exists at the network level. (2) The effect of collective openness depends on the disruptiveness of innovation environment. The likelihood of a positive effect of collective openness on RIN innovation performance increases as the disruptiveness is enhanced. The trends of the polarization of individual TFs’ innovation performance in an RIN is alleviated as the disruptiveness is enhanced. Based on these findings, we give some guidance of innovation policymaking. When the industry is in its emerging stage, aggressive collective openness—high collective breadth and depth—aiming at achieving high RIN innovation performance is recommended. When the industry steps into its developing stage, directed collective openness—high collective depth and moderate collective breadth—aiming at fostering future industry leaders in the RIN is recommended. When the industry reaches its maturity, conservative collective openness—low collective depth and moderate collective breadth—aiming at maximum utilization of current RIN’s competitive advantages is recommended.

    Abstract Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, an important cause of death as well as long-term disability in survivors, is caused by oxygen and glucose deprivation, and limited blood flow. Following hypoxic-ischemic injury in the neonatal brain, three main biochemical damages (excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and exacerbated inflammation) are triggered. Mitochondria are involved in all three cascades. Mitochondria are the nexus of metabolic pathways to offer most of the energy that our body needs. Hypoxic-ischemic injury affects the characteristics of mitochondria, including dynamics, permeability, and ATP production, which also feed back into the process of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Mitochondria can be a cellular hub in inflammation, which is another main response of the injured neonatal brain. Some treatments for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy affect the function of mitochondria or target mitochondria, including therapeutic hypothermia and erythropoietin. This review presents the main roles of mitochondria in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and discusses some potential treatments directed at mitochondria, which may foster the development of new therapeutic strategies for this encephalopathy.

    Abstract Background: To indirectly compare the safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) by network meta-analysis (NMA).
    Methods: Through August 1, 2023, we searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of ICI-based treatment for R/M HNSCC. Outcomes of interest included overall and organ-specific immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Addis 16.5 software was used to perform NMA. Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis (CINeMA) was used to assess confidence in the evidence.
    Results: Nine RCTs were included in this NMA, involving a total of 4016 patients. The general safety of ICI-based treatments in descending order was as follows: Durvalumab + Tremelimumab, Camrelizumab + Chemotherapy, Durvalumab, Toripalimab + Chemotherapy, Pembrolizumab, Pembrolizumab + Chemotherapy, Nivolumab, Tremelimumab. There were differences in the toxicity profile among Toripalimab + Chemotherapy (dermatologic irAEs), Camrelizumab + Chemotherapy (hypothyroidism), Nivolumab + Ipilimumab (hyperthyroidism, pneumonitis), Pembrolizumab (nephrotoxicity), Pembrolizumab + Chemotherapy (colitis). ICI-based treatment increased the incidence of endocrine irAEs (hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism) and pneumonitis compared to conventional therapy. Besides, the combination of dual ICIs resulted in a greater occurrence of irAEs compared to the use of a single ICI.
    Conclusions: The safety ranking of treatments based on ICIs is significantly influenced by specific irAEs. These irAEs, which vary in type and severity, play a crucial role in determining the overall safety profile of each ICI regimen.

    Abstract Background: BRAT1 (BRCA1-associated ataxia telangiectasia mutated activator 1) is involved in many important biological processes, including DNA damage response and maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis. Dysfunctional BRAT1 causes variable clinical phenotypes, which hinders BRAT1-related disease from recognition and diagnosis.
    Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement was the guideline for this systematic review. MEDLINE was searched by terms ("BAAT1" and "BRAT1") from inception until June 21, 2022.
    Results: Twenty-eight studies, screened out of 49 records, were included for data extraction. The data from fifty patients with mutated BRAT1 were collected. There are 3 high relevant phenotypes, 4 medium relevant phenotypes and 3 low relevant phenotypes. Eye-related abnormal features were most frequently reported: 27 abnormal features were observed. Thirty-nine kinds of pathogenic nucleotide change in BRAT1 were reported. Top three common mutations of BRAT1 were c.638_639insA (16 cases), c.1395G > A (5 cases) and c.294dupA (4 cases). Homozygous mutations in BRAT1 presented a more severe phenotype than those who are compound heterozygotes.
    Conclusions: This is the first comprehensive systematic review to present quantitative data about clinical characteristics of BRAT1-related disease, which helps doctors to recognize and diagnose it easier.

    Abstract Although iron (Fe) deficiency is an adverse condition to growth and development of plants, it increases the resistance to pathogens. How Fe deficiency induces the resistance to pathogens is still unclear. Here, we reveal that the inoculation of Botrytis cinerea activates the Fe deficiency response of plants, which further induces ethylene synthesis and then resistance to B. cinerea. FIT and bHLH Ib are a pair of bHLH transcription factors, which control the Fe deficiency response. Both the Fe deficiency‐induced ethylene synthesis and resistance are blocked in fit‐2 and bhlh4x‐1 (a quadruple mutant for four bHLH Ib members). SAM1 and SAM2, two ethylene synthesis‐associated genes, are induced by Fe deficiency in a FIT‐bHLH Ib‐dependent manner. Moreover, SAM1 and SAM2 are required for the increased ethylene and resistance to B. cinerea under Fe‐deficient conditions. Our findings suggest that the FIT‐bHLH Ib module activates the expression of SAM1 and SAM2, thereby inducing ethylene synthesis and resistance to B. cinerea. This study uncovers that Fe signaling also functions as a part of the plant immune system against pathogens.

    Abstract Using functionalized nanoparticles to crosslink hydrophilic polymers is a growing theme of directly constructing nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels. Employing dynamic covalent chemistry at the nanoparticle-polymer interface is particularly attractive due to the spontaneous formation and reversible manner of dynamic covalent bonds. However, the structure and property modulation of the dynamic covalently crosslinked NC hydrogels has not been thoroughly discussed. Here, we fabricated NC hydrogels by using amine-functionalized carbon dots (CDs) to crosslink polydextran aldehyde (PDA) polymers through imine bond formation. The role of PDA with different oxidation degrees (i.e., PDA10, PDA30, and PDA50) in affecting the microstructures and properties of PDA@CD hydrogels was systematically investigated, showing that the PDA50@CD hydrogel presented the densest structure and the highest mechanical strength among the three PDA@CD hydrogels. The pH-responsiveness, 3D printing, electrospinning, and biocompatibility of PDA@CD hydrogels were also demonstrated, showing the great promise of using PDA@CD hydrogels for applications in biomedicine and biofabrication.
