China's profoundly rapid modernization in the past two decades has resulted in dramatic changes in indoor environmental exposures. Among these changes, exposure to phthalates has attracted increasing attention. We aimed to characterize indoor phthalate exposure and to estimate the disease burden att...

Many bacteria can develop biofilm (BF), a multicellular structure largely combining bacteria and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The formation of biofilm results in an alternative existence in which microbes ensure their survival in adverse environments. Biofilm-relevant infections a...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the leading causative agent of tuberculosis, remains one of the most deadly infectious pathogens. PE_PGRS proteins become a new focus as their species specificity in mycobacteria, especially in pathogenic mycobacteria. Despite intensive research, PE_PGRS proteins are stil...

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection remains a serious public threat despite decades of creative endeavors. There are few reports on the roles of M. tuberculosis enzymes involved in cell envelope biosynthesis in pathogen survival and persistence. M. tuberculo...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has a poor prognosis, especially for inoperable patients. FXYD3, an FXYD-domain-containing regulator in the Na+/K+ ATPase family, is overexpressed in several common cancers. However, its role in ICC progression remains unclear. We integrated multiple ICC single-...

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins range from small peptides to larger antigens and fulfill a variety of cellular functions in eukaryotes. We speculated there should be such molecules in intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium due to their complex interplay with the host. How...

Electrochemical hydrodechlorination (EHDC) offers a sustainable approach to convert highly toxic chlorinated volatile organic compounds into value-added hydrocarbons. Although Fe/N-doped carbon (NC) catalysts are effective EHDC catalysts, their structure-activity relationships remain unclear. In thi...

With the increase of demand of phosphorus resources and its natural shortage, circulating utilization of organophosphorus contaminants into phosphatic fertilizer could provide a sustainable way to achieve the phosphorus cycle. Herein, a homogeneous catalytic system of Co(II)/sodium peroxyborate (NaB...
