The storage and processing of Litopenaeus vannamei are often challenged by the freeze-thaw (F-T) cycle phenomenon. This study delved into the influence of pretreatment with l-arginine (Arg) and l-lysine (Lys) on the myofibrillar proteins oxidation and quality of shrimp subjected to F-T cycles. Arg and Lys pretreatment notably improved water-holding capacity (WHC), textural integrity as well as the myofibrillar structure of the shrimps.

However, the role of the host-microbiome in the incidence and progression of CRC remains elusive. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing, metabolomics, and proteomic studies on samples from 85 CRC patients who underwent colonoscopy examination and found two distinct changed patterns of microbiome in CRC patients.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) present a promising avenue for next-generation grid-scale energy storage. However, realizing all-climate SIBs operating across a wide temperature range remains a challenge due to the poor electrolyte conductivity and instable electrode interphases at extreme temperatures. Here, we propose a comprehensively balanced electrolyte by pairing carbonates with a low-freezing-point and low-polarity ethyl propionate solvent which enhances ion diffusion and Na-desolvation kinetics at sub-zero temperatures.

The core of the concept of nature-based solutions (NBS) is ecological protection, which is the same direction as China's double-carbon goal and has attracted much attention in China. Ecological ditch sewage treatment technology has been widely used in controlling agricultural non-point source pollution because of its advantages of high pollutant removal efficiency and low energy consumption. Suppose the NBS concept of sustainable management, restoration, and ecological protection is integrated into the research and development and application of ecological ditch technology.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of sCRS in children with B-cell hematological malignancies and build a risk prediction model.
Methods: The study recruited 115 children with B-cell hematological malignancies who received CD19- and CD22-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.
Aims: Lipid metabolism in macrophages plays a key role in atherosclerosis development. Excessive low-density lipoprotein taken by macrophages leads to foam cell formation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of astaxanthin on foam cells, and using mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches to identified the protein expression changes of foam cells.

The identification of distinct groups of patients is crucial for guiding symptomatic AE management interventions to prevent AEs from worsening.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify subgroups of children with cancer experiencing similar patterns of subjective toxicities and evaluate differences among these subgroups in demographic and clinical characteristics.
Antibiotics are useful for treating infections caused by bacteria, but they have negative effects on the host body. The goal of this study was to determine whether antibiotics alter the metabolic phenotype of the host. We found that taking antibiotics reduced the diversity and richness of gut microbiota and affected the composition of the microbiome, which in turn altered the metabolic profiles of plasma and fecal samples.

Scope: Molecular networking (MN) analysis intends to provide chemical insight of untargeted mass spectrometry (MS) data to the user's underlying biological questions. Foodomics is the study of chemical compounds in food using advanced omics methods. In this study, an MS-MN-based foodomics approach is developed to investigate the composition and anti-obesity activity of cannabinoids in hemp oil.
