Artificial oxygen carriers, such as favorably hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, have received considerable attention due to some drawbacks of human donor blood. Among all oxygen carriers, the metal organic framework (MOF) exhibits excellent oxygen-carrying capacity due to its good encapsulation efficiency and competitive biocompatibility. Recently, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with unique structure have attracted much attention due to their outstanding solvothermal stability.

Article Synopsis
- Cadmium contamination and boron deficiency in Southern China threaten crop yield and quality, particularly in rice.
- Research showed that boron supplementation helps reduce cadmium accumulation in rice seedlings, restoring biomass and significantly lowering cadmium levels in shoots and roots.
- Boron enhances detoxification processes and decreases the expression of certain genes linked to cadmium transport, suggesting it helps rice tolerate and manage cadmium toxicity effectively.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the susceptibility of mice with streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus (TIDM) to the uptake of pentavalent inorganic arsenic (iAsV) and the possible molecular mechanism.
Methods: TIDM was induced in mice by STZ. TIDM and normal mice were treated with 15.
