Aquaculture, producing half of global fish production, offers a high-quality protein source for humans. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) through microbial protein recovery is crucial for increasing fish production and reducing environmental footprint. However, the poor palatability and high moisture content of microbial protein make its utilization challenging.

To study the pollutants immobilization and economy of biologically amended coastal soil, Alternanthera philoxeroides biomass (Bm), biochar (Bc), and dodecyldimethyl betaine (BS) modified Bc (BS-Bc) were used to amend coastal soil from Jialing, Fu, and Qu River. A runoff experiment was used to simulate the longitudinal migration and morphological changes of Pb(II) and chlortetracycline (CTC) in each amended coastal soil, and the economy of pollutants immobilization by different amended coastal soil were compared. The equilibrium time of Pb(II) and CTC in each amended coastal soil ranked in the order of BS-Bc-amended > Bc-amended > Bm-amended > unamended coastal soil.

Article Synopsis
  • - Iron accumulation in the brain during aging is linked to neuronal impairment and the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), prompting the synthesis of a peptide called 5-YHEDA to scavenge harmful radicals.
  • - To overcome the blood-brain barrier (BBB) issue, the 5-YHEDA peptide was modified with a segment that binds to low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR) and injected into mice with cognitive impairments similar to AD.
  • - The treatment successfully delivered the peptide into the mice's brains, reducing excess iron and neuronal damage, improving cognitive function, and without causing kidney or liver harm, suggesting its potential as a safe iron-removing therapy for cognitive disorders.

A recombinant co-stimulatory molecule capable of inducing multiple effects on varied immune cells when present in its soluble active form is termed as SA-4-1BBL. It has been reported to influence innate, adaptive, and regulatory immune cells. Recent studies confirmed its engagement with receptor, 4-1BB leading to collection of interleukin-2 (IL-2) that in turn overcomes Treg suppression.

Methylation of the WIF-1 gene can lead to the loss of WIF-1 expression which has been observed in numerous types of cancer including NSCLC. However, the association and clinicopathological significance between WIF-1 promoter hypermethylation and NSCLC remains unclear. In the present study, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the clinicopathological significance of WIF-1 hypermethylation in NSCLC.
