Nitrates exhibit a selectivity of action in different tissue types not fully recognized: in particular, the neuromodulatory and cardiovascular properties can be dissociated. A novel nitrate showed relatively weak systemic effects, but in the middle cerebral artery occlusion rat model of focal ischemia, reduced the cerebral infarct by 60-70% when administered 4 h after the onset of ischemia.

Strain LCG007, isolated from Lu Chao Harbor's intertidal water, phylogenetically represents a novel genus within the family Rhodobacteraceae. Metabolically, it possesses a wide array of amino acid metabolic genes that enable it to thrive on both amino acids or peptides. Also, it could hydrolyze peptides containing D-amino acids, highlighting its potential role in the cycling of refractory organic matter.

This study presents a novel nanostructured material formed by inserting oxidized carbon nanohorns (CNHox) between layered graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using metal ions (M) from nitrate as intermediates. The resulting GO-CNHox-M structure effectively mitigated interlayer aggregation of the GO nanosheets. This insertion strategy promoted the formation of nanowindows on the surface of the GO sheets and larger mesopores between the GO nanosheets, improving material porosity.

To address the medical challenges posed by glioblastoma, a novel and high-performance tumor inhibitor (La@FA-CDs) composed of folic acid and lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, was successfully synthesized and demonstrated effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of U251 and LN299 cells. The microstructure of La@FA-CDs was extensively analyzed by FTIR, UV-Vis, XPS, TEM, AFM NMR, and nanoparticle size analyzer. The optical and electrical properties of La@FA-CDs were characterized using a fluorescence spectrometer and a zeta potential analyzer.

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (eNRA) is a promising route toward environmental sustainability and clean energy. However, its efficiency is often limited by the slow conversion of intermediates due to spin-forbidden processes. Here, we introduce a novel A-site high-entropy strategy to develop a new perovskite oxide (LaPrNdBaSr)CoO (LPNBSC) for eNRA.

Metolachlor is the most heavily used member of acetanilide herbicides, which are noted for forming highly soluble metabolites in root zone soils soon after field application. The two primary metabolites of metolachlor, metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid (MESA) and metolachlor oxanilic acid (MOXA), retain the same chiral chemistry as their source and are important tracers of nitrate loading from agricultural cropland. New analytical methods for separating the isomers of MESA and MOXA, enable studies assessing changes in the abundance of atropisomer pairs of the carbon chiral enantiomers in environmental samples.
