Article Abstract
Triclosan (TCS) is an emerging contaminant that threatens the environment and human health. This study was conducted to investigate TCS abatement by a novel electro-oxidation (EO) process, which used a Ti-based nickel and antimony doped tin oxide (NATO/Ti) anode and a carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped carbon/PTFE (CNTs-C/PTFE) gas diffusion electrode (GDE) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). A comparative study was also performed for TCS degradation by using a traditional EO with a nickel foam cathode, termed as HER-EO. The optimal initial TCS concentration, current density and solution pH for TCS degradation during the ORR-EO and HER-EO were investigated. Results showed that ORR-EO removed more than 98% of TCS in 10-60 min under the concentration of 5-50 mg/L. The TCS degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and its main intermediates were observed during the ORR-EO and HER-EO using liquid chromatography combined mass (LC-MS). The results of FED analysis and toxicity prediction by ECOSAR software showed that less intermediates accumulated during the ORR-EO and the residues were less harmful. The ORR-EO degradation mechanism for TCS was attacking on the ether bond and the benzene ring by OH. This novel ORR-EO process exhibits a great merit in the field of emerging contaminants abatement.

Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), as a substrate material, has been widely utilized in the field of biodegradable vascular stents. Prior to implantation, it is particularly crucial for these devices to assess the relationship of the mechanical properties and microstructures during full degradation cycle. Although previous studies have primarily focused on structural parameters such as crystallinity and molecular weight, there are relatively few reports that explore the impact of microstructure on mechanical performance from the perspective of chain configuration during the degradation.

Bacterial pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis majorly rely on two-component signaling (TCS) systems to sense and generate adaptive responses to the dynamic and stressful host environment. TCS comprises a sensor histidine kinase (SHK) that perceives the environmental signal and a response regulator (RR) that modulates the target gene expression. TCS occurs via a phosphotransfer event from SHK to RR.

Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial agent widely used in personal care products, has been associated with impaired thyroid function and reduced thyroid hormone (TH) levels. However, its potential role in the developmental programming of thyroid dysfunction remains unclear. This study investigated the long-term effects of intrauterine TCS exposure on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis in adult rat offspring.

Background: Mammalian skin exhibits profound cellular and molecular restructuring across lifespan, yet an integrated single-cell mapping from embryogenesis to senescence remains limited. The Chenghua (CH) pig, with exceptional skin thickness characteristics, provides a promising model for investigating human skin development and physiology.
Results: We constructed a comprehensive single-cell RNA atlas of 443,529 cells from CH pig skin spanning 10 developmental stages (embryonic day 56 to postnatally year 7).

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is a widespread bacterial pathogen that poses a significant threat to the poultry industry globally. It is of great significance to control APEC infections by investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate APEC's adaptation to new environments and its survival. APEC possesses a series of regulation systems to sense and quickly and appropriately respond to extracellular environmental changes, and causes the host infection.
