Lanthanum carbonate (LC) represents a novel material for the immobilization of internal phosphorus (P) in sediments. Activated carbon (AC) is a traditional adsorbent that has been employed in the remediation of sediments on a wide scale. The objective of this study is to examine the mechanisms and effects of the combined use of LC and AC capping materials on the immobilization of P and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in sediments, through a 90-day incubation experiment.

It is well known that aquaculture can alter the microenvironments of lakes at sediment-water interface (SWI). However, the main mechanisms underlying the effects of aquaculture activities on arsenic (As) transformations are still unclear. In this context, the present study aims to investigate the variations in the sediment As contents in Yangcheng Lake, as well as to assess its chemical transformations, release fluxes, and release mechanisms.

Scar-free wound healing is a challenging process due to the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and collagen. To overcome this issue, hydrogels with superior biochemical and mechanical properties have been used in combination with medicinal compounds as wound dressings. In this study, a novel composite hydrogel consisting of double-crosslinked photocurable hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) and Laponite (Lap) loaded with bioactive bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) was developed and thoroughly characterized for its properties such as degradation, morphology, porosity, compression, skin adhesion and load release.
