Article Synopsis
  • Long-term expansion of stem cells can lead to cellular senescence, reducing their effectiveness and potential for therapy.
  • Melatonin (MLT) shows promise in reversing this senescence and restoring cell function, likely by enhancing autophagy processes.
  • The study identified that MLT's rejuvenating effects are mediated through the MT receptor and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, which plays a key role in regulating autophagy in these cells.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on the herbicide 2,4-D's impact on microbial fuel cells (MFCs), showing that adding 2,4-D reduced power output and increased internal resistance of the cells.
  • - With 300 mg/L of 2,4-D, maximum power density dropped from 0.151 W/m² (using acetate) to 0.057 W/m², indicating that 2,4-D inhibited energy generation.
  • - Implementing a 6-hour pre-aeration step in the anode chamber improved 2,4-D removal rates and restored voltage output, leading to the enrichment of bacteria capable of degrading 2,4-D and supporting power generation.
