Hydrogen peroxide (HO) electrosynthesis using metal-free carbon materials via the 2e oxygen reduction pathway has sparked considerable research interest. However, the scalable preparation of carbon electrocatalysts to achieve satisfactory HO yield in acidic media remains a grand challenge. Here, we present the design of a carbon nanoreactor series that integrates precise O/N codoping alongside well-regulated geometric structures targeting high-efficiency electrosynthesis of HO.

Background: Myrmecophytes, characterized by specialized structures like hollow stems that facilitate mutualistic relationships with ants, serve as an important system for studying ant-plant interactions and the adaptation mechanisms. Caularthron and Myrmecophila are exemplary myrmecophytes within Orchidaceae. Previous studies suggested a genetic relationship between these two genera, placing them within Laeliinae (Epidendreae), yet the precise phylogenetic positioning remained uncertain.

The ongoing evolution and immune escape of SARS-CoV-2, alongside the potential threat of SARS-CoV-1 and other sarbecoviruses, underscore the urgent need for effective strategies against their infection and transmission. This study highlights the discovery of nanobodies from immunized alpacas, which demonstrate exceptionally broad and potent neutralizing capabilities against the recently emerged and more divergent SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants including JD.1.

The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose environmental risks that are influenced by soil activity and pollution. Soil erosion and sedimentation accelerate degradation and migration, thereby affecting soil distribution and contamination. This study quantified the vertical and horizontal transfer capabilities of ARGs and simulated soil environments under various scenarios, such as erosion, agricultural cycles, and chemical pollution.

Environmental pollution caused by arsenic or its compounds is called arsenic pollution. Arsenic pollution mainly comes from people's mining and smelting of arsenic compounds. In addition, the widespread use of arsenic compounds, such as the use and production of arsenic-containing pesticides, is also a source of arsenic contamination.

Article Synopsis
  • Fritillaria cirrhosa, a medicinal plant from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is endangered due to resource scarcity, and continuous cultivation has led to problems affecting its successful transplantation.
  • Research revealed that continuous cropping for 10 years led to soil acidification, nutrient imbalances, and a shift in microbial communities, with harmful microorganisms becoming more abundant while beneficial ones decreased.
  • Soil pH was found to be a key factor influencing these microbial changes and overall soil health, indicating that imbalanced microbial communities and acidification pose significant challenges for the cultivation of F. cirrhosa.

We have developed an innovative recyclable printed magnetoresistive sensor using GMR microflakes and AMR microparticles as functional fillers, with PECH as the elastomer binder. Under saturation magnetic fields of 100 mT and 30 mT, these sensors respectively exhibit magnetoresistance values of 4.7% and 0.

The intrinsic limitation of low electrical conductivity of MoSe resulted in inferior dielectric properties, which restricts its electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) performances. Herein, a bimetallic selenide of MoSe/CoSe@N-doped carbon (NC) composites with hollow core-branch nanostructures are synthesized via the selenization treatment of MoO nanorods coated with ZIF-67. By adjusting the mass ratio of ZIF-67 to MoO, the electromagnetic parameters and morphologies of composites are finely tuned, further ameliorating the impedance matching and EMWA performances.

Article Synopsis
  • Spp. are gram-negative bacteria that can infect various hosts, including rodents, which serve as natural reservoirs and pose a risk for human transmission due to increased travel.
  • A study in the Hulunbuir border regions of China captured 11 rodent species at five ports, finding a 20.05% positivity rate for spp., with the majority being detected in a specific rodent species.
  • The research identified three different spp., including two that are pathogenic to humans, emphasizing the importance of monitoring rodent infections to assess potential risks to human health.

Article Synopsis
  • Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels harm neuronal cells and contribute to cognitive issues, with unique effects observed under different experimental conditions.
  • The study investigates how Hcy impacts mitochondrial function in primary neurons and PC12 cells, focusing on its role in metabolic processes and epigenetic regulation.
  • Findings suggest that Hcy triggers changes in mitochondrial DNA through METTL4-mediated 6-methylation, leading to reduced mtDNA transcription and subsequent mitochondrial dysfunction.

This study aimed to create a comprehensive evaluation method for sewage sludge (SS) treatment and disposal technologies, considering carbon emission and environmental impacts. Life cycle assessment (LCA) were conducted on six SS treatment and disposal technologies in China. The assessments used the IPCC emission factor approach to calculate carbon emissions and the CML2001 method to determine environmental impact factors.

Background: Aggression and violence by patient (and their relatives/friends) is widely acknowledged as a serious occupational hazard, with physicians being particularly susceptible to witnessing and experiencing such incidents within hospitals. Research has shown that the negative consequences of such aggression and violence are not only felt at the individual level, but also at the team and organizational levels. Understanding how to prevent and manage this behavior towards physicians in hospitals is urgent and not fully researched.

Rationale: Studies have confirmed that the lung microbiome of lung transplant recipients is altered and serves as a prognostic indicator for long-term mortality. Other studies reported that the lung microbiome affects host immunity and the transcriptome. However, the lung microbiome composition at the early post-transplant period following lung transplantation is unclear, and the relationship of the lung microbiome with pulmonary immunity and the host transcriptome is also not well understood.

Cell junctions, which are typically associated with dynamic cytoskeletons, are essential for a wide range of cellular activities, including cell migration, cell communication, barrier function and signal transduction. Observing cell junctions in real-time can help us understand the mechanisms by which they regulate these cellular activities. This study examined the binding capacity of a modified tridecapeptide from Connexin 43 (Cx43) to the cell junction protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1).
