Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...

Spatial Cell Death and Oxidative Stress Dynamics in Gas Plasma‐Treated Tumor Tissues

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the four experimental models to study tissue penetration and oxidation. Four tissue models were used. Human pancreatic cancer cells were grown on the chorioallantois membrane of chicken embryos and gas plasma‐treated in ovo, murine colorectal tumor tissue was gas plasma‐exposed ex vivo, murine squamous cell carcinoma cells ...

Chronic Production of Peroxynitrite in the Vascular Wall Impairs Vasorelaxation Function in SHR/NDmcr-cp Rats, an Animal Model of Metabolic Syndrome

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
We have previously reported that peroxynitrite is involved in dysfunction of nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasorelaxation in SHR/NDmcr-cp rats (SHR-cp), which display typical symptoms of metabolic syndrome.

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

Carbon Dots for Cancer Theranostics: Synthesis Strategies, Luminescence Properties, and Advances in Bioimaging‐Guided Diagnosis and Therapy

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Lighting up the path to precision oncology: This review comprehensively summarizes the rational design of carbon dots (CDs), elucidating how core size, surface chemistry, and heteroatom doping dictate their luminescence mechanisms. Special emphasis is placed on engineering NIR‐II emissive CDs for deep‐tissue imaging.

Cellular Membrane‐Targeted Europium(III) Probe for Selective and Time‐Resolved Detection of Peroxynitrite

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We report a cellular membrane‐targeted europium(III) probe, Eu.Chol, that enables selective, time‐resolved detection of peroxynitrite (ONOO−) at the cell membrane interface. Eu.Chol demonstrates efficient incorporation into liposomes and Jurkat cells, with minimal response to H2O2, establishing a modular platform for subcellular ONOO− sensing ...

Human nitrobindin: the first example of an all‐β‐barrel ferric heme‐protein that catalyzes peroxynitrite detoxification

FEBS Open Bio, 2018
Nitrobindins (Nbs), constituting a heme‐protein family spanning from bacteria to Homo sapiens, display an all‐β‐barrel structural organization. Human Nb has been described as a domain of the nuclear protein named THAP4, whose physiological function is ...
