The micro-environment formed by the photosynthesis of submerged plants is conducive to the formation of CaCO-P from co-precipitation of calcium and phosphorus in water, thereby permanently removing phosphorus from water to the bottom mud and avoiding secondary pollution after plants decay. However, CaCO-P co-precipitation shows obvious specific-differences and environmental dependencies. In the present study, two different submerged plants, and , were used as the research objects.

The prognosis of patients suffering from glioblastoma [also referred to as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)] is dismal despite multimodal therapy. Chemotherapy with temozolomide may suppress tumor growth for a certain period of time (a few months); however, invariable tumor recurrence suggests that glioblastoma initiating cells (GICs) render these tumors persistant. Thus, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action of GICs as regards their role in the progression of GBM is important as such knowledge will be helpful in the discovery of novel drug targets, as well as in the design of novel therapeutic strategies for more effective treatment of the disease.
