An analysis was carried out of chromosomal site-fragility in patients with primary multiple tumors and familial breast cancer. A possible correlation is discussed between fragile sites, breakpoints in chromosome rearrangements in cancer patients and the localization of oncogenes mapped in chromosomal regions involved in said rearrangements.

The urban agglomeration in central Guizhou is located in a crustal deformation area caused by tectonic uplift between the Mesozoic orogenic belt of East Asia and the Alpine-Tethys Cenozoic orogenic belt, with high mountains, steep slopes, fractured rock masses and a fragile ecological environment; this area is the most affected by landslides in Guizhou Province, China. In the past decade, there were a total of 613 medium and large landslide disasters, resulting in 137 deaths and a direct economic loss of 1.032 billion yuan.

The replicative polymerase delta is inefficient copying repetitive DNA sequences. Error-prone translesion polymerases have been shown to switch with high-fidelity replicative polymerases to help navigate repetitive DNA. We and others have demonstrated the importance of one such translesion polymerase, polymerase Eta (pol eta), in facilitating replication at genomic regions called common fragile sites (CFS), which are difficult-to-replicate genomic regions that are hypersensitive to replication stress.

Natural biopolymer-based liquid mulching films (LMF) have received widespread attention, whereas the fragile structure and limited functionality have severely restricted their application. Herein, polydopamine-coated montmorillonite micro/nanoparticles enhanced pectin-based sprayable multifunctional liquid mulching films (P-MMT@PDA LMF) were prepared. Dopamine has abundant active sites, and its self-polymerization onto the surface of MMT improves the compatibility of MMT with pectin chains, facilitates the homogeneous dispersion of MMT@PDA in pectin polymers, and makes them more tightly entangled through hydrogen bonding.

Exploiting supramolecular secondary building units (SSBUs) for developing porous crystalline materials represents an exciting breakthrough that extends the boundaries of reticular chemistry. However, shaping polynuclear clusters sustained by non-covalent interactions for the assembly of hydrogen-bonded frameworks remains a critical challenge. This study presents a novel strategy to stabilize SSBUs by tuning the π-stacking geometry of conjugated building blocks, facilitating the creation of hydrogen-bonded frameworks with tailored architectures for demanding gas separation.

A comparative evaluation of rehabilitation approaches for ecological recovery in arid limestone mine sites.

J Environ Manage

January 2025

College of Resources and environmental Sciences, Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou, 730070, China. Electronic address:

Limestone mining in arid regions, particularly within fragile environments, leads to severe environmental pollution and ecological degradation. Developing a scientifically sound and effective ecological rehabilitation strategy is therefore critical. This study constructed a three-dimensional ecological rehabilitation model integrating soil amelioration and vegetation reconstruction.
