• Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a ubiquitous human carcinogen, and rice (Oryza sativa) is the main contributor to iAs in the diet. Methylated pentavalent As species are less toxic and are routinely found in plants; however, it is currently unknown whether plants are able to methylate As. • Rice, tomato...

High salinity and high organic concentration impose negative impacts on autotrophic nitrification, which hinders efficient nitrogen removal. To achieve efficient nitrogen removal, high saline wastewater nitrogen removal systems with different COD/TN ratios based on heterotrophic nitrification-aerobi...

Surfaces enabling directional drop self-transport have exceptional applications in digital microfluidics, chemical analysis, bioassay, and microreactor technology. While such properties have been obtained by engineering a surface with anisotropic microstructures, a microscopic liquid residue-though ...

Abstract Vascular repair is considered a key restorative measure to improve long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke. N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A), the most prevalent internal modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, functionally mediates vascular repair. However, whether circular RNA SCMH1 (circSCMH1) pro...

Abstract As China expands its development assistance in Southeast Asia, is Chinese aid beginning to emulate international norms and practices or sustaining its own distinct approach to development assistance? This essay argues that China's socialization into international norms varies with the thick...

Without light at night, the system for photocatalytic degradation of refractory organic pollutants in aquatic environments based on free radicals will fall into a dormant state. Hence, a round-the-clock photocatalyst (CCN@SMSED) was prepared by in situ growth of cyanide-deficient g-C3N4 on the surfa...

Impaired megakaryocyte maturation and insufficient platelet production have been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Our previous study demonstrated that low expression of tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in megakaryocytes contri...

Wheat blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum (MoT) pathotype, is a devastating disease persistent in South America and Bangladesh. Since MoT generally fails to cause visual symptoms in wheat until the heading stage when the infection would have advanced, disease control by fungicide...

Harmful algae blooms posing serious threats to the ecological environment occur frequently across the world. Multi-species algicidal bacteria were enriched by utilizing immobilized carriers in a pilot scale experiment, which significantly promoted the effect of algal control in the reactors. Under t...

Electrochemiluminescent (ECL) performance and cytotoxicity of CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-based nanocomposites and its possible application for ECL immunoassay were investigated. Two types of CdTe-based nanocomposites, i.e., SiO2-coated CdTe (CdTe@SiO2) and CdTe-functionalized SiO2 (SiO2@CdTe), were syn...
