High-sensitivity fluorescent probes provide a powerful tool for understanding life processes and functioning mechanisms. Therefore, the development of a universal strategy to optimize probes holds substantial importance. Herein, we developed a novel strategy for common probe upgrades: rather than simply pursuing a higher fluorescence intensity of the probe itself, we tried to promote the detection sensitivity by enhancing the probe-substrate interactions.

Background: Inflammation and metabolic disturbances are key culprits in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated cardiomyopathy. The NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3) inflammasome mediates the release of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β (interleukin-1β) and IL-18 by activating caspase-1, which is strongly implicated in metabolic disturbances. We here sought to determine whether NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition could ameliorate obesity cardiomyopathy and if so, to further explore its underlying mechanisms.

Multiple solid waste-based amendments are used for arsenic (As)-contaminated soil remediation, but their mechanisms in inhibiting As release and the effects on soil health in real sites remain poorly understood. Here, an amendment consisting of steel slag (SS), coal fly ash (CFA) and Fe(Ⅱ), namely, Fe(Ⅱ) assisted SS and CFA, was applied to an As-contaminated mining soil. 120 days field experimental results revealed that amendment addition in low-As soil (LA soil) and high-As soil (HA soil) significantly increased amorphous Fe(Ⅲ) (hydro)oxides content and decreased dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and thus inhibited As mobilization.

To investigate the variance in the quality and flavor profiles of bacon from different regions, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry and electronic sensory techniques (including electronic nose and tongue [e-nose and e-tongue, respectively]) were employed for the flavor analysis of the sourced bacon samples. Both the e-nose and e-tongue successfully distinguished the aromas and flavors of different bacon varieties. Additionally, organic sulfides, aromatic benzenes, and short-chain alkanes, were more abundant in different bacon types.

Article Synopsis
  • HERC2, a type of E3 ubiquitin ligase, is found to be highly active in hypertrophic hearts and promotes cardiac hypertrophy by increasing the expression of Lin28a, an RNA-binding protein involved in heart growth.
  • Knockdown of HERC2 alleviates hypertrophy caused by angiotensin II (Ang II), while its overexpression worsens the condition.
  • The study suggests that HERC2 influences Lin28a levels through the degradation of MeCP2, a protein that normally suppresses Lin28a, highlighting the potential of targeting this HERC2/MeCP2/Lin28a pathway to treat heart failure.
