In this study, hollow nanoflower spherical CuS and CuS/FeO@BC with adsorption and antibacterial properties was prepared by coprecipitation and solvothermal method, respectively. The adsorption results showed that the CuS exhibited excellent adsorption performance on sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs), especially for sulfamethoxazole (SMZ). The optimal addition amount of CuS is 0.

The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 16,747 bp, has unique 14 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs genes.

Aneuploidy can cause genetic instability, alter the biological properties of cells, and affect their application in genetic studies and cell engineering. Understanding the causes and mechanisms of aneuploidy is primary to control its occurrence in cultured cells, and is also helpful to understand the mechanisms of tumorigenesis because aneuploidy is a hallmark of tumor cells.

The mitochondrial genome is especially prone to DNA damage and thus can serve as a biomarker to monitor the genotoxicity of pesticides to human DNA. We performed a screening for somatic mutations in lung tissues from pesticide-exposed fruit growers, by direct comparing the entire mtDNA sequences of the lung tissue and the matched peripheral blood from the same individual.
