Infringement of the Lymnaea stagnalis cytoskeleton condition affected preservation and repeated development of plastic responses. Stabilising of the microtubules led to a dependence of the development and preservation dynamics of the plastic responses. Stabilising of the microfilaments transformed short-term plastic responses into long-term ones. The findings suggest a key role of reorganisation of the cytoskeleton in neuronal plasticity.

A series of polyurethanes (PU-GT) were prepared using polyglycolide-block-polytetrahydrofuran-block-polyglycolide (PGA-PTHF-PGA), polytetrahydrofuran homopolymer (PTHF), glycerol, and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) by a one-pot synthesis method. The non-isothermal crystallization and subsequent heating curves showed that the PTHF component in these polyurethanes could crystallize in a temperature range of -11.5~2.

Heat waves (HW) are projected to become more frequent and intense with climate change, potentially enhancing the invasiveness of certain plant species. This study aims to compare the physiological and photosynthetic responses of the invasive and its native congener under simulated heat wave conditions (40.1 °C, derived from local historical data).

DEHP is a plasticizer that is widely found in our water environment and poses a significant risk to the environment and human health. Long-term exposure to DEHP can cause endocrine disruption and interfere with the organism's normal functioning. In order to explore the potential effects of DEHP on the development of biological brain tissues, this study used bioinformatics analysis to confirm the diagnostic and prognostic value of PER3 in gliomas and further validated the neurotoxicity of DEHP using methods such as behavioral experiments and molecular biology in zebrafish.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commonly synthetic chemical mainly used in producing plastic items. It is an endocrine-disrupting compound that causes irreversible health and environmental damage. Developing a simple method for BPA effective quantitative monitoring is emergently necessary.
