Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Recent Progress in the Development of Metal‐Based Radiosensitizations for Cancer Therapy: A Review

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radiotherapy (RT) remains an indispensable means in cancer treatment; however, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited by tumor radioresistance and side effect of damage to healthy tissue. The advances in nanotechnology have propelled metal radiosensitizers to forefront of precision medicine.

Sample purification and characterization of the α‐ and β‐crustacyanin pigments from the American lobster for crystallographic and cryo‐EM studies

Acta Crystallographica Section F, EarlyView.
The striking blue colour of the American lobster is caused by proteins that interact with the red pigment astaxanthin, causing its colour change. We have purified and characterized the pigments from the American lobster for crystallographic and cryo‐EM studies.The striking blue hue of live Homarus americanus, known as the American lobster, arises from ...
