Chromium is one of the eight most popular inorganic soil pollutants in China, and its bioavailability is determined by the chemical states. Amendments, which are able to change the chemical forms of chromium and decrease its bioavailability, have received considerable attention in recent years. In this work, the formation of Cr-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and the immobilization of Cr in solution and soil were systemically investigated. The formation of Cr-based LDHs is strongly depended on the layer charges, aging temperatures and reaction time, as identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectrum. According to the pot experiment results, the concentration of Cr in the overground part of Brassica Chinensis L. was significantly decreased to 1.50-2.03 µg kg in the present of amendments. In total, the finding of LDHs formation on amendments and the thermodynamic stability of LDHs provides a new insight into the remediation of Cr-polluted soils.

Introduction: Chromatin regulators (CRs) are critical in cancer development, yet their prognostic value in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remains unclear. This study aimed to develop a CR-based prognostic model and explore the role of APOBEC1 in LUSC progression.
Methods: Transcriptomic and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were analyzed.

Osteoporosis is a widespread global health issue characterized by progressive bone loss and impaired regeneration, largely due to an acidic bone microenvironment that suppresses osteoblast differentiation and fails to initiate effective osteogenesis. To address these challenges, we developed a novel bone-targeted nanosystem (RE@CR) based on rare-earth upconversion/downconversion nanoparticles (RENPs), integrating macroscopic environmental modulation with precise microscopic molecular-level intervention. RE@CR utilizes CaCO to neutralize local acidity, enhance osteoblast proliferation, and release Ca to support mineralization.

The integration of organic bioelectronic interfaces has opened new avenues for merging biological systems with electronics, offering transformative solutions to challenges in both fields. In this study, we present a novel hybrid organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) featuring self-assembled three-dimensional (3D) nanofiber arrays (NFAs) of small-molecule semiconductors grown on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate active-layer channels. The hybrid OECT was further evaluated for its potential to capture, recover, and biosense circulating tumor cells (CTCs), as well as to enhance extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion through electrical stimulation (ES).

Purpose: Many studies have examined the relationship between prognostic factors and multigene assays; however, their use as alternatives remains insufficient. This study evaluated the concordance of the combination of clinical risk (CR)-which was determined using the modified version of Adjuvant! Online-and the Ki-67 index using EndoPredict (EP).
Methods: Retrospective data from 709 patients were analyzed.

Cobalt-based catalysts have emerged as promising substitutes for Pt- and Cr-based propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalysts. However, controlling the distribution of Co species and achieving stable active centers remains challenging. Here, we report that reaction-driven reconstruction of metallic cobalt (Co) species within pure silica MFI zeolite (S-1) into CoO clusters within silanol nests during PDH yields efficient and durable performance.
