Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis sheds new light on adaptation of Pinctada fucata martensii to short-term hypoxic stress.

Analyses of the transcriptome and metabolome were conducted to clarify alterations of key genes and metabolites in pearl oysters following exposure to short-term hypoxic treatment. We totally detected 209 DEGs between the control and hypoxia groups. Enrichment analysis indicated the enrichment of GO terms including "oxidation-reduction process", "ECM organization", "chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding", and "ECM-receptor interaction" KEGG pathway by the DEGs.

Low-Cost NiP/NiS Heterostructured Bifunctional Electrocatalyst toward Highly Efficient Overall Urea-Water Electrolysis.

Water splitting is a sustainable approach for production of hydrogen to fuel some clean energy technologies. This process, unfortunately, has been significantly impeded by the puzzles in either the efficient but economically unaffordable noble-metal-based catalysts or the low-cost but kinetically sluggish abundant-element-based catalysts. Particularly, the discovery of efficient bifunctional catalysts that can simultaneously trigger the reactions of both anode and cathode for overall water splitting still remains as a grand challenge.
