Abstract Emerging evidence indicates that exosomes derived from gastric cancer cells enhance tumor migration and invasion through the modulation of the tumor microenvironment. However, it remains a major problem to detect cancer‐specific exosomes due to technical and biological challenges. Most of t...

Nanoplastics in the environment lead to the human exposure to these particles. However, the consequences of this exposure are not yet fully understood. Here, the cytotoxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) with a uniform size (50 nm) but distinct surface functionalization (pristine polystyren...

Abstract Effective photosensitizers are of particular importance for the widespread clinical utilization of phototherapy. However, conventional photosensitizers are usually plagued by short-wavelength absorption, inadequate photostability, low reactive oxygen species (ROS) quantum yields, and aggreg...

Arsenic (As) contamination in vegetables is a severe threat to human health. However, the evaluation of As relative bioavailability (As-RBA) or bioaccessibility in vegetables is still unexplored. The study sought to evaluate the As-RBA in commonly consumed ten leaf vegetables collected from As-pollu...

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been implicated in cancer, but little is known about the role of lncRNAs as regulators of tumor metastasis. In the present study, we demonstrate that lncRNA TRERNA1 acts like an enhancer of SNAI1 to promote cell invasion and migration and to contribute to metastasis o...

The pollution of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in Baiyangdian Lake (BYDL), the largest shallow lake in northern China, has been focused on since the construction of the Xiong'an New Area. However, research on the bioavailability and diffusive flux of PTEs in BYDL sediments has been still limited...

Plasmodiophora brassicae , an obligate biotrophic pathogen-causing clubroot disease, can seriously affect Brassica crops worldwide, especially Chinese cabbage. Understanding the transcriptome and metabolome profiling changes during the infection of P. brassicae will provide key insights in understan...

Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in co-contaminated soil can enter the human body harming health via the food chain, such as vegetables. Biochar derived from waste has been used to reduce heavy metal uptake by plant, but long-term effects of biochar under Cd and As co-contaminated soil needs to be inve...

Chinese cabbage is one of the most important and widely consumed vegetables in China. The developmental transition from the vegetative to reproductive phase is a crucial process in the life cycle of flowering plants. In spring-sown Chinese cabbage, late bolting is desirable over early bolting. In th...

Biochar has been widely applied in soil and water. However, the fate and transport of biochar are not yet fully understood. Here, biochar's disintegration, transport, and the effect of temperature on biochar transport in soil (purple soil)-water systems were investigated. The results showed that the...

In many countries cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) commonly coexist in soils contaminated by mining activities, and can easily enter the human body via consumption of leafy vegetables, like the popularly consumed pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.), causing major health concerns. In the present study, bioa...

Previous published methods for the analysis of folates are time consuming because of lengthy sample extraction, clean-up and total running time. This study details the development and validation of a rapid, sensitive and robust method that combines a simple extraction step with ultra-performance liq...

The correlation of in vitro and in vivo assays for determining bioavailable Cd amounts in vegetables is limited. Herein, the correlations between Cd relative bioavailability (Cd-RBA) in rat models and Cd bioaccessibility in four in vitro assays were examined in vegetables. Results showed that the co...
