Effect of iron oxide on nitrification in two agricultural soils with different pH [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
Iron (Fe) affects soil nitrogen (N) cycling processes both in anoxic and oxic environments. The role of Fe in soil N transformations including nitrification, mineralization, and immobilization, is influenced by redox activity, which is regulated by soil ...

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Chemical anchoring of CaO2 on phosphate-modified rice husk biochar for stabilized oxygen release

Biochar
To address the high environmental sensitivity of oxygen release from calcium peroxide (CaO2) in practical applications, this study proposes and validates a synergistic regulatory strategy combining chemical anchoring and physical confinement.

Biochar Blended with Alkaline Mineral Can Better Inhibit Lead and Cadmium Uptake and Promote the Growth of Vegetables

Plants
Three successive vegetable pot experiments were conducted to assess the effects on the long-term immobilization of heavy metals in soil and crop yield improvement after the addition of peanut shell biochar and an alkaline mineral to an acidic soil ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Interactive effects of straw and biochar alter humic acid composition and component associations

Biochar
Humic acid (HA), a key component of soil humic substances, plays a crucial role in soil fertility and ecological functioning. To investigate HA structural heterogeneity under contrasting organic inputs, a soil incubation experiment was conducted with ...

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.

Pyrolysis temperature regulates biochar-soil interactions to enhance cation exchange capacity, plant growth, and photosynthetic performance

BMC Plant Biology
Background Poor nutrient retention in agricultural soils limits crop productivity and fertilizer use efficiency. Enhancing the soil capacity to retain cations such as Ca2⁺, Mg2⁺, and K⁺ is critical for sustaining plant nutrition, yet strategies that ...

Enhancement of organic fertilizer-derived dissolved organic matter fractions on cadmium immobilization by biochar composites in contaminated soil

Agricultural Ecology and Environment
The influence of DOM molecular diversity from organic fertilizers on Cd immobilization by biochar composites remains unclear. This study systematically investigated the preparation, adsorption characteristics, and mechanisms of biochar composites loaded ...
