Aims: To isolate polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-degrading bacteria and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of PET biodegradation through biochemical and genome analysis.
Methods And Results: Rhodococcus rhodochrous IITR131 was found to degrade PET. Strain IITR131 genome revealed metabolic versatility of the bacterium and had the ability to form biofilm on PET sheet, resulting in the cracks, abrasions, and degradation.

The use of biocompatible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and electrospun nanofibrous implants shows promise in preventing the recurrence of postsurgical glioblastoma. In this study, temozolomide (TMZ) and platinum‑gold nanorods (PtAu NRs) were encapsulated into the UiO-66-NH MOFs. These were then incorporated into the chitosan-grafted polycaprolactone (PCL) (core)/PCL (shell) nanofibers coated with PtAu NRs for extended release of TMZ during chemo-photothermal therapy against glioblastoma cells.

The zebrafish, a diurnal vertebrate, is commonly used in circadian rhythm studies due to its genetic and neurological similarities to humans. Circadian rhythms, which regulate sleep, neurotransmitter, behavior, and physiological responses to environmental changes, can be disrupted by various environmental factors. Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are pervasive endocrine disruptors that individuals are frequently exposed to in daily life.

The reproductive age is a crucial stage for women to bear offspring. However, reproductive-aged women are simultaneously exposed to various phthalates, which may pose a threat to their reproductive health. This study employed generalized linear regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression to explore the associations between monoesters of phthalates (MPAEs) and sex hormones in 913 reproductive-aged women in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Due to the ban on the use of traditional brominated flame retardants, new brominated flame retardants, such as Bis (2-ethylhexyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrabromophthalate (TBPH), have been developed as alternatives to traditional brominated flame retardants to replace the old ones, and TBPH has been widely used. Therefore, we need to systematically evaluate the toxicological effects of TBPH. In the current work, we analyzed the effects of TBPH on lung.
