The oxidation and reduction (redox) processes of redox-sensitive elements (RSE) in the presence of humic substances (HS) have become a significantly important issue in the terms of biogeochemical cycles. Redox processes are crucial for determining the speciation, mobility, toxicity, and bioavailability of RSE in natural environments. It is known that HS act as an effective redox mediator for accepting and donating electrons, and thereby transfers them to RSE. We review the recent progress in the field of the redox processes of RSE including As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, and Se in the presence of HS. The extent and rate of the redox processes of these RSE are significantly affected by the concentration of functional groups and the chemical composition of HS. In subsurface environments, pH, ionic strength, and the presence of competitive components, microorganisms, and oxygen need to be considered to elucidate the redox processes of RSE in the presence of HS. In addition, improved analytical techniques for the characterization of HS has the potential to advance the study on the redox processes of RSE in the presence of HS. It may contribute to understanding the mechanism for the redox processes between RSE and HS in the biogeochemical cycles.

Inhibition of ASIC1a reduces ferroptosis in rheumatoid arthritis articular chondrocytes via the p53/NRF2/SLC7A11 pathway.

The activation of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) in response to extracellular acidification leads to an increase in extracellular calcium influx, thereby exacerbating the degeneration of articular chondrocytes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It has been suggested that the inhibition of extracellular calcium influx could potentially impede chondrocyte ferroptosis. The cystine transporter, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), is recognized as a key regulator of ferroptosis.

A hybrid B3LYP version of the Density Functional Theory was applied in full geometry optimization followed by vibrational analysis of mustard-type molecules acting as antiblood cancer agents: melphalan and bendamustine. All calculations were performed with water as a solvent. In addition to the ground-state properties (dipole moment, quadrupole moment, dipole polarizability, solvated surface and volume, zero-point vibration energy, total entropic term), properties that characterize adiabatic redox processes (ionization energy, electron affinity, molecular electronegativity, chemical hardness, electrophilicity index) together with the absolute oxidation and reduction potentials were evaluated.

Distortions in the porphyrin core from planarity can trigger a unique structure-property relationship, imparting its basicity, chemical stability, redox potential, and excited-state energetics, among other properties. The colour change promoted by such distortion is signed by red shifts in its electronic absorption spectra. The adsorption of guest -substituted free-base porphyrin species onto inorganic hosts, such as clay minerals (layered aluminium or magnesium silicates), is known to further promote colour changes.

Thiazide, thiazide-like, and loop diuretics are primarily known for inhibiting members of the SLC12A family of Cl transporters, which include the Na+Cl cotransporter (NCC), NaK2Cl cotransporters (NKCC1 and NKCC2) and KCl symporters (KCC1-4). While the main pharmacological effect of these diuretics is diuresis, achieved by promoting the excretion of excess water and salt through the kidneys, they have intriguing pharmacological effects beyond their traditional ones which cannot be solely attributed to their effects on renal salt transport. Of particular interest is their role in modulating inflammatory processes.

Transforming plastics into single-atom catalysts is a promising strategy for upcycling waste plastics into value-added functional materials. Herein, a graphene-based single-atom catalyst with atomically dispersed FeNCl sites (Fe─N/Cl─C) is produced from high-density polyethylene wastes via one-pot catalytic pyrolysis. The Fe─N/Cl─C catalyst exhibited much higher turnover frequency and surface area normalized activity (K) compared with the Fe─N─C catalyst without axial Cl modulation.
