Degradation of Glyphosate to Benign N-Formyl Glycine Using MOF-808 Nanocrystals.

Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine, GPh) is an industrial herbicide used worldwide in modern agricultural practices. With the growing concerns about cumulative environmental and health effects, pathways for catalytic GPh degradation to benign products are becoming a pressing societal need. This report demonstrates that Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF-808) with different crystal sizes and designed defect sites can be employed as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the complete degradation of GPh at room temperature.

Identification of a new genetic locus associated with atrial fibrillation in the Taiwanese population by genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association studies.

Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in more than 100 genomic regions associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to identify novel AF genes in Taiwanese population by multi-stage GWAS.

Methods: In exploratory stage, we did GWAS with whole genome genotypes (4,512,191 SNPs) in 516 AF Patients from National Taiwan University AF registry (NTUAFR) and 5160 normal sinus rhythm controls from Taiwan Biobank.

Student Burnout: A Review on Factors Contributing to Burnout Across Different Student Populations.

Burnout refers to a process of chronic response to stress in life. For students, burnout can be caused by the stress related to their study. There are many factors that contribute to burnout in different student populations.

Flash optimization of drug combinations for Acinetobacter baumannii with IDentif.AI-AMR.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging threat to global public health. Specifically, Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), one of the main pathogens driving the rise of nosocomial infections, is a Gram-negative bacillus that displays intrinsic resistance mechanisms and can also develop resistance by acquiring AMR genes from other bacteria.
