Synergies quantification and evolution on air pollutant and CO emissions driven by different socio-economic effects.

Realizing a synergistic reduction of air pollutant and CO emissions (APCE) is an important approach to promote a green socio-economic transformation in China, and it can provide a solid foundation for the achievement of clean energy production and climate action under a sustainable development goal framework. The objective of this study is to explore the quantitative relationship and evolution of synergies between APCE in industrial sectors driven by different socio-economic effects from 2007 to 2020 in China. The results indicated that the main sectors of pollutant emissions had consistency, however, large differences in the reduction efficiency of emissions exist among pollutants.

Single-cell and spatially resolved transcriptomics for liver biology.

Single-cell transcriptomics enables the identification of rare cell types and the inference of state transitions, whereas spatially resolved transcriptomics allows the quantification of cells and genes in the context of tissues. The recent progress in these new technologies is improving our understanding of the cell landscape and its roles in diseases. Here, we review key biological insights into liver homeostasis, development, regeneration, chronic liver disease, and cancer obtained from single-cell and spatially resolved transcriptomics.

Localization, purification, and characterization of a novel β-glucosidase from Hanseniaspora uvarum Yun268.

β-Glucosidase is a key enzyme that hydrolyzes nonvolatile glycosylated precursors of aroma compounds and enhances the organoleptic quality of wines. In this study, a novel β-glucosidase from Hanseniaspora uvarum Yun268 was localized, purified, and characterized. Results indicated that β-glucosidase activity was mainly distributed within the cells.
