Augmented carbon utilization and ammonia assimilation in heterotrophic microorganism under magnetic field stimulation.

Ammonia assimilation is crucial in microbial nitrogen metabolism, and researching the impact of magnetic field (MF) on heterotrophic ammonia assimilation (HAA) contributes to improving nitrogen utilization and environmental remediation. This study systematically investigated the profound effects of MF stimulation on carbon and ammonia assimilation mechanisms in heterotrophic microorganisms. The dynamic responses of microbial carbon source metabolic efficiency and nitrogen source assimilation rates were quantitatively analyzed by designing a multidimensional stimulation environment of different nutrient levels (C/N 20, 25, 30) and MF intensities (0, 1, 20 mT).

Polydatin, a derivative of resveratrol, ameliorates busulfan-induced oligozoospermia in mice by inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation and suppressing ferroptosis.

Polydatin (PD), a glucoside derivative of resveratrol (RES), is extracted as a monomer compound from the dried rhizome of Polygonum cuspidatum. Our laboratory synthesized PD via the biotransformation of resveratrol. To assess the reproductive protective effects of PD, an oligozoospermia mouse model was induced by administering 30 mg/kg busulfan (BUS) via intraperitoneal injection.

A humanized anti-b7h3×4-1BB bispecific antibody exerts potent antitumour effects through the activation of innate and adaptive immunity.

Agonistic monoclonal antibodies targeting 4-1BB have shown much preclinical promise, but their clinical development has been limited by obvious toxicity or unremarkable efficacy. Here, we generated two humanized anti-B7H3 × 4-1BB bsAbs (HK056-001/002) by fusing an anti-4-1BB scFv to the C-terminus of an anti-B7H3 with an intact Fc fragment from human IgG1 or IgG4. The two bsAbs were able to stimulate the 4-1BB signaling pathway, which was strictly dependent on B7H3 expression.

Maternal exposure to tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate induces F0 female reproductive toxicity and offspring developmental toxicity in zebrafish.

The toxicity of tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBOEP) has been extensively investigated because of its prevalence in the environment. Nevertheless, the risk factors associated with maternal transmission are poorly understood. In this study, sexually mature female zebrafish were treated with TBOEP (0, 20, 100, and 500 μg/L) for 30 days and were mated with unexposed males.

A whole-body imaging technique for tumor-specific diagnostics and screening of B7-H3-targeted therapies.

Background: B7-H3 or CD276 is notably overexpressed in various malignant tumor cells in humans, with extremely high expression rates. The development of a radiotracer that targets B7-H3 may provide a universal tumor-specific imaging agent and allow the noninvasive assessment of the whole-body distribution of B7-H3-expressing lesions.

Methods: We enhanced and optimized the structure of an affibody (ABY) that targets B7-H3 to create the radiolabeled radiotracer [68Ga]Ga-B7H3-BCH, and then, we conducted both foundational experiments and clinical translational studies.
