Little is known about the role of iodine in plant physiology. We evaluated the impact of low concentrations of iodine on the phenotype, transcriptome and proteome of . Our experiments showed that removal of iodine from the nutrition solution compromises plant growth, and restoring it in micromolar concentrations is beneficial for biomass accumulation and leads to early flowering. In addition, iodine treatments specifically regulate the expression of several genes, mostly involved in the plant defence response, suggesting that iodine may protect against both biotic and abiotic stress. Finally, we demonstrated iodine organification in proteins. Our bioinformatic analysis of proteomic data revealed that iodinated proteins identified in the shoots are mainly associated with the chloroplast and are functionally involved in photosynthetic processes, whereas those in the roots mostly belong and/or are related to the action of various peroxidases. These results suggest the functional involvement of iodine in plant nutrition.

Background: Improved cancer survival rates have highlighted second primary malignancies (SPMs), with the thyroid gland being one of the most common organs developing SPMs in cancer survivors. Second primary papillary thyroid carcinoma (2-PTC) is the predominant type, yet it remains poorly understood. This study aims to delineate the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of 2-PTC and assess the efficacy of postoperative radioactive iodine therapy (post-RAIT) in reducing mortality risks in intermediate-risk 2-PTC patients.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) residues pose a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and food safety. In this work, novel imine bond/pyridine nitrogen-rich magnetic microporous organic networks (MMONs-Br and MMONs-I) were synthesized via a facile one-pot strategy using brominated and iodinated precursors for the detection of NSAIDs in fish. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed a striking 11-fold difference in specific surface areas between the two materials (MMONs-Br: 293.

Halogenated phenazines hold promise as antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents, yet are mainly accessed via chemical synthesis. Herein, we report PezW, a novel single-component flavin-dependent halogenase (FDH) that halogenates phenazine scaffolds, notably enabling enzymatic synthesis of bioactive 2-bromo-1-hydroxyphenazine () and 2,4-bromo-1-hydroxyphenazine (). Structural modeling and mutagenesis revealed key residues critical for substrate binding and catalysis.

Systemic amyloidosis is a complex disorder, making early and accurate diagnosis challenging. The most common types are associated with misfolded transthyretin or immunoglobulin light chains, where cardiac and renal amyloidosis portend the worst prognosis. Peptide p5+14 can bind all types of amyloid via multivalent electrostatic interactions.

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies are common in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), potentially contributing to adverse clinical outcomes. Hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) integrates convection, diffusion, and adsorption, potentially preserving essential nutrients better than traditional online hemodiafiltration (HDF). This study aimed to compare the acute effects of HFR and HDF on serum micronutrient concentrations in MHD patients.
