Occurrence, fate and control strategies of heavy metals and antibiotics in livestock manure compost land application: A review.

Composting is a sustainable method for managing livestock manure, but the residual heavy metals and antibiotics in the compost pose can pose environmental risks when applied to land. Although many studies focus on occurrence and risk mitigation of heavy metals and antibiotics in manure compost land application, there is a lack of systematic analysis covering the entire chain from source to process and final disposal. Given this, this article provides a comprehensive review of the sources, migration, fate, risk assessment, and risk reduction of heavy metals and antibiotics contamination in land application of livestock manure compost for the first time.

Vasopressin drives aberrant myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, contributing to depression in mice.

Psychological stress is often linked to depression and can also impact the immune system, illustrating the interconnectedness of mental health and immune function. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can directly sense neuroendocrine signals in bone marrow and play a fundamental role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis. However, it is unclear how psychological stress impacts HSCs in depression.

Comprehensive Similarity Algorithm and Molecular Dynamics Simulation-Assisted Terahertz Spectroscopy for Intelligent Matching Identification of Quorum Signal Molecules (N-Acyl-Homoserine Lactones).

To investigate the mechanism of aquatic pathogens in quorum sensing (QS) and decode the signal transmission of aquatic Gram-negative pathogens, this paper proposes a novel method for the intelligent matching identification of eight quorum signaling molecules (N-acyl-homoserine lactones, AHLs) with similar molecular structures, using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy combined with molecular dynamics simulation and spectral similarity calculation. The THz fingerprint absorption spectral peaks of the eight AHLs were identified, attributed, and resolved using the density functional theory (DFT) for molecular dynamics simulation. To reduce the computational complexity of matching recognition, spectra with high peak matching values with the target were preliminarily selected, based on the peak position features of AHL samples.
