The study of the adsorption properties of pesticides in soil is essential to assessing the risk of their pollution of nearby aquatic environments. To reveal the adsorption mechanisms of flupyradifurone (FPO) on soil, batch experiments in five different soils were carried out in this study. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of FPO in five soils were well fitted by using several models ( = 0.922-0.998). It was found that both physical and chemical adsorption were included in the adsorption process of FPO in soils; the monolayer adsorption of FPO occurred with a non-uniform energy distribution on the soil surface, and the internal particle diffusion was not the only rate-controlling step. The adsorption coefficients calculated by using the Langmuir () and Freundlich () models were 0.0158-0.0982 and 1.053-9.798, respectively. In addition, the main factors affecting the adsorption of FPO in soil were investigated by stepwise regression fitted with the adsorption coefficient () and the soil properties. It was found that the organic carbon content was the main factor ( = 0.857, < 0.05). Therefore, the organic carbon adsorption coefficients () were calculated. The results (1.0532-5.6529) indicated that FPO has a low affinity and high mobility in the soils, and may cause water environment pollution around the soil. Therefore, FPO should be used cautiously in paddy fields. These research findings were important for elucidating the sorption behaviour and transport of FPO in soil.

Vanadium (V) is a transitional metal that poses health risks to exposed humans. Microorganisms play an important role in remediating V contamination by reducing more toxic and mobile vanadate (V(V)) to less toxic and mobile V(IV). In this study, DNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) coupled with metagenomic-binning was used to identify microorganisms responsible for V(V) reduction and determine potential metabolic mechanisms in cultures inoculated with a V-contaminated river sediment.

is a devastating disease and has recently become the leading cause of death in western countries, representing an immense public health burden. When it comes to cancer treatment, chemotherapy is one of the main pillars, especially for advanced stage tumors. Over the years, natural compounds have emerged as one of the most valuable resources for new chemotherapies.

Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is an aggressive mesenchymal tumor with unmet clinical need and significant social impacts on children, adolescents, and young adults. CD99, a hallmark surface molecule of EWS, participates in crucial biological processes including cell migration, differentiation, and death. EWS cells can release CD99 through exosomes (EXOs), specialized extracellular vesicles with major cell communication roles.
