Article Synopsis
- * A new method for extracting heavy metals, particularly chromium, from SSD has been developed, with significant extraction rates achieved under specific conditions (650 °C for 1 hour).
- * The roasting process breaks down the silicate structure, allowing for the efficient release of heavy metals and reducing the SSD mass by 90-95%, while also detoxifying the material for potential use in treating similar waste types.
During the early stages of human pregnancy, successful implantation of embryonic trophoblast cells into the endometrium depends on good communication between trophoblast cells and the endometrium. Abnormal trophoblast cell function can cause embryo implantation failure. In this study, we added cyclosporine A (CsA) to the culture medium to observe the effect of CsA on embryonic trophoblast cells and the related mechanism.

- Glutathione (GSH) is essential for maintaining balance in oxidative processes, but tracking its levels deep in tissues has been challenging due to limitations in current visible fluorescence probes.
- Researchers developed a new near-infrared fluorescence probe called Flav-N, which allows for real-time monitoring of GSH in cells and tissues through rapid reactions with biothiols.
- Flav-N demonstrated quick response times (under 5 seconds) and was effective in tracking GSH levels in living mice, providing a valuable tool for studying the dynamics of endogenous GSH in biological processes.
Influence of pyrolysis temperature on sludge biochar: the ecological risk assessment of heavy metals and the adsorption of Cd(II).
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
January 2023
Pyrolysis of sludge to biochar can not only reduce the sludge volume, toxic organic compound, and pathogens, but also be applied as effective adsorbents. However, the immobilization of heavy metals in the sludge and the properties of the biochar greatly rely on the pyrolysis temperature. In this paper, municipal sludge biochar (SBC) was prepared from 400 to 1000 °C.

There's a paucity of information regarding the role of circRNAs on endometrial receptivity. Here, we investigated the function of hsa_circ_001946 on endometrial receptivity and its mechanisms.
