Interfacial charge transfer on hierarchical synergistic shell wall of MXene/MoS2 on CdS nanospheres: heterostructure integrity for visible light responsive photocatalytic H2 evolut... by Kugalur Shanmugam Ranjith, Ali Mohammadi, Ganji Seeta Rama Raju, Yun Suk Huh, Young-Kyu Han

“…An in-layered shell wall of MXene with surface-wrapped MoS2 nanoflakes as a core–shell assembly improved the photo-corrosion resistance and accelerated the production of photocatalytic H2 (38.5 mmol g−1 h−1), which is 10.7, 3.1, and 1.9 times faster than that of CdS, CdS–MXe, and CdS–MoS2 nanostructures, respectively. The apparent quantum efficiency of the CdS–MXe2.4/MoS2 heterostructure was calculated to be 34.6% at λ = 420 nm. …”

Cytotoxic mechanisms of pemetrexed and HDAC inhibition in non-small cell lung cancer cells involving ribonucleotides in DNA by Tobias Solli Iveland, Lars Hagen, Mirta Mittelstedt Leal de Sousa, Nina Beate Liabakk, Per Arne Aas, Animesh Sharma, Bodil Kavli, Geir Slupphaug

“…Contrary to the conventional model of antifolate toxicity, which implicates futile cycles of uracil incorporation and excision in DNA, we propose that ribonucleotide incorporation in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA significantly contributes to the cytotoxicity of antifolates like pemetrexed, and likely also of fluorinated pyrimidine analogs. HDAC inhibition apparently exacerbates cytotoxicity of these agents by inhibiting error-free repair of misincorporated ribonucleotides in DNA. …”
