Sonodynamic therapy, a treatment modality recently widely used, is capable of disrupting the tumor microenvironment by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) and enhancing antitumor immunity during immunotherapy. Erdafitinib, an inhibitor of the fibroblast growth factor receptor, has demonstrated potential benefits for treating bladder cancer. However, Erdafitinib shows effectiveness in only a small number of patients, and the majority of patients responding positively to the medication have "immune-cold" tumors.

2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine--oxyl (TEMPO) structures possess potent antioxidant activities for biomedical applications. TEMPO immobilization on hydrophilic polymers is a powerful strategy to improve its properties; however, it is mostly limited to reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations or postpolymerization approaches. Here, we immobilized TEMPO units on a hydrophilic poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) backbone through cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of a new 2-oxazoline monomer bearing a methoxy-protected TEMPO 2-substituent with 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx).

Microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems: impacts on diatom communities.

Environ Monit Assess

January 2025

Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India.

In recent years, heightened concern has emerged regarding the pervasive presence of microplastics in the environment, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. This concern has prompted extensive scientific inquiry into microplastics' ecological and physiological implications, including threats to biodiversity. The robust adsorption capacity of microplastic surfaces facilitates their widespread distribution throughout aquatic ecosystems, acting also as carriers of organic pollutants.

One of the most costly stages of activated sludge wastewater treatment plants is the treatment and dewatering of waste sludge. Chemical conditioning of sludge, as one of the most widespread methods to enhance sludge dewaterability, accounts for a significant portion of operational expenses due to the consumption of expensive polymeric compounds. This research aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of ochre soil, modified with hydrochloric acid, as an affordable mineral for conditioning waste sludge in an activated sludge system.

Background: Glia mediated neuroinflammation and degeneration of inhibitory GABAergic interneurons are some of the hall marks of pyrethroid neurotoxicity. Here we investigated the sex specific responses of inflammatory cytokines, microglia, astrocyte and parvalbumin positive inhibitory GABAergic interneurons to λ-cyhalothrin (LCT) exposures in rats.

Methods: Equal numbers of male and female rats were given oral corn oil, 2 mg/kg.
