(1) Background: Safety problems associated with aflatoxin B (AFB) contamination have always been a major threat to human health. Removing AFB through adsorption is considered an attractive remediation technique. (2) Methods: To produce an adsorbent with a high AFB adsorption efficiency, a magnetic reduced graphene oxide composite (FeO@rGO) was synthesized using one-step hydrothermal fabrication.

Peanut Fusarium rot, which is widely observed in the main peanut-producing areas in China, has become a significant factor that has limited the yield and quality in recent years. It is highly urgent and significant to clarify the regulatory mechanism of peanuts in response to . In this study, transcriptome and proteome profiling were combined to provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of peanut stems after infection.

A simple two-step hydrothermal method was used to prepare the cathode catalyst of microbial fuel cell (MFC). MnO@CoO composite was successfully prepared by in-situ growth of nano-particle-like CoO on nano-rod-like MnO. The hybrid products had (121), (310), (311), (400) and (511) crystal planes, rod-like and point-like structures were observed.

3β,23,28-Trihydroxy-12-oleanene 3β-caffeate (compound 1) is a neuritogenic pentacyclic triterpenoid, which was isolated from Desmodium sambuense based on a PC12 cell bioassay system. Compound 1 induced neurite outgrowth dose-dependently in PC12 cells and primary cortical neurons at doses of 0.1, 0.

(3S,4R)-23,28-Dihydroxyolean-12-en-3-yl (2E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate (1 a), which possesses significant neuritogenic activity, was isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plant, Desmodium sambuense. To confirm the structure and to assess biological activity, we semi-synthesized 1 a from commercially available oleanolic acid. A series of novel 1 a derivatives was then designed and synthesized for a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study.
