Article Synopsis
  • Pteris cretica is a fern that can absorb high levels of arsenic (As) and the mechanisms of its uptake in hydroponic systems were studied.
  • A modified hydroponic system was used to minimize plant differences and assess how As uptake and movement within the plant were influenced by initial As concentration.
  • Both short-term and long-term experiments showed that rhizomes are crucial for regulating arsenic movement from roots to fronds, with the fern consistently removing about 1 mg/d of As from a hydroponic solution.

strain m318 is an arsenite-oxidizing rhizobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of an arsenic hyperaccumulator plant, beneficial for arsenic phytoremediation. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this strain, which consists of a circular chromosome assembled using long reads sequenced on Nanopore and polished with Illumina paired-end reads.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) alone or combination with chemotherapy served as first-line therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, only 20-50% of NSCLC patients respond to ICI.

Elucidating the mechanisms of action of steroid hormones will contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies for hormone-dependent tumors. Recent advances in genetic engineering have revealed the complex and diverse mechanisms of steroid hormone signaling; however, these techniques are limited to or animal experiments. It is believed that verifying hormone signals elucidated using human pathological tissue specimens will directly aid in treatment and diagnosis.
