Goldfish (Carassius auratus) have been employed as a model organism to investigate the innate immune system and host-pathogen interactions. A Gram-negative bacterium called Aeromonas hydrophila has been found to cause mass mortality due to infection in a wide variety of fish species in the aquatic system. In this study, damages in Bowman's capsule, inflammatory tubular (proximal and distilled convoluted) structure, and glomerular necrosis were observed in A.

The interleukin-6 family of cytokines possesses a diversity of roles with significant redundancy. The roles of these molecules have been relatively well characterized in mammals, with limited attention in other species. Progress has been made in the discovery of homologous molecules in fish.

Nigericin has been reported to induce apoptosis and pyroptosis in mammalian models. However, the effects and mechanism underlying the immune responses of teleost HKLs induced by nigericin remain enigmatic. To decipher the mechanism after nigericin treatment, the transcriptomic profile of goldfish HKLs was analyzed.

Emerging S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts endowed with efficient charge separation and strong redox capacity have stimulated wide interests in dealing with environmental issues nowadays. In this work, we firstly fabricated the oxygen vacancy modified ZrTiO nanocrystals, which was further combined with AgI to build the defective S-scheme AgI/ZrTiO heterojunctions for visible-light photocatalytic norfloxacin degradation. The synthesized ZrTiO nanocrystals and AgI/ZrTiO heterojunctions displayed remarkably boosted norfloxacin degradation performance under visible-light irradiation.
