Multi-omics analysis reveals copper-induced growth inhibition mechanisms of earthworm (Eisenia fetida).

Exposure to high concentrations of copper can cause toxic effects on the growth and development of organisms, but the relevant toxic mechanisms are far from fully understood. This study investigated the changes of metabolites, genes, and gut microorganisms in earthworms (Eisenia fetida) exposed to 0 (control), 67.58 (low), 168.

Magnetic MnFeO/ZnFe-LDH for Enhanced Phosphate and Cr (VI) Removal from Water.

Due to the layered structure and recycling characteristics, magnetic MnFeO/ZnFe-LDH was prepared by co-precipitation. In this study, we intensively explored MnFeO/ZnFe-LDH for water purification compared with the ZnFe-LDH. The morphological and structural characteristics of the obtained products were systematically characterized.

Resveratrol improves ex vivo expansion of CB-CD34 cells via downregulating intracellular reactive oxygen species level.

Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in the ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). In this study, the effects of resveratrol (RES), on the ex vivo expansion of HSPCs were investigated by analyzing CD34 cells expansion and biological functions, with the objective to optimize ex vivo culture conditions for CD34 cells. Among the five tested doses (0, 0.
