The cytotoxicity of photoexcited CdS in an E. coli-CdS hybrid system and the roles of the sacrificial agent to reduce this toxic effect.

This study investigates the biosynthesis of CdS nanoparticles (NPs) by Escherichia coli CD-2 to develop an E. coli-CdS hybrid system. The hybrid system was exposed to light in the presence and absence of cysteine (Cys) as a sacrificial agent.

Platelet Membrane-Coated HGF-PLGA Nanoparticles Promote Therapeutic Angiogenesis and Tissue Perfusion Recovery in Ischemic Hindlimbs.

Therapeutic angiogenesis has garnered significant attention as a potential treatment strategy for lower limb ischemic diseases. Although hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been identified as a key promoter of therapeutic angiogenesis, its clinical application is limited due to its short half-life. In this study, we successfully developed and characterized platelet membrane-coated HGF-poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs).

Multivariate analysis between environmental factors and fruit quality of citrus at the core navel orange-producing area in China.

Gannan is the largest navel orange production area in China. Most studies have primarily focused on the effects of either soil or topographic factors on the quality of navel oranges. However, there has been a lack of research exploring the relationship between navel orange quality and multiple environmental factors (meteorological, topographic, and soil).

Ferrocene-Based Metal-Organic Framework for Adsorption and Degradation of Antibiotics.

Antibiotics have emerged as a significant class of organic pollutants, posing serious global challenges to both the environment and human health. To address the issue of water pollution by antibiotics, a ferrocene-based organic framework (FcMOF) with paramagnetism has been synthesized by hydrothermal complexation of ferrocene dicarboxylic acid with copper chloride and utilized for quick and efficient adsorption and degradation of antibiotics. The maximum adsorption capacity of TC was 736.

BZR1 targets steroid 22-alpha hydroxylase 4 to negatively regulates cell elongation in bamboo.

Moso bamboo is renowned for its exceptional growth rate, driven by rapid cell proliferation and elongation in culm internodes. This study uncovers the novel role of brassinosteroids (BRs) in regulating bamboo shoot growth, revealing a previously unknown negative correlation between BR levels and growth rates. Notably, we identify BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT1 (BZR1) acts as a key transcription factor in BR signaling, governing the expression of genes involved in BR biosynthesis and growth.
