Establishing an effective and sustainable strategy for zearalenone (ZEN) degradation is of great significance to agricultural development and food safety. Herein, more than 98 % of ZEN (2 ppm) was photocatalytic degraded within 90 min over the oxygen-deficient BiWO ultrathin layers (BWO-U), along with the sharp elimination of biotoxicity to GES-1 cells. Theoretical calculations and characterizations revealed the ultrathin structure and oxygen vacancies endowed BWO-U with strengthened photoelectrochemical activity and O-adsorption capacity, facilitating the generation of •O and O which play decisive roles in ZEN degradation. Furthermore, a possible mechanism was proposed based on nine intermediates identified via LC-MS, including the steps of cis-trans isomerization, oxidation and cleavage. Eventually, the method also exhibited immense potential in reducing ZEN-contamination in corn oil, and made no significant impact on the quality of corn oil. This work might provide a feasible strategy to mitigate ZEN-contamination and cast a new light on the ROS-mediated mechanism.

Introduction: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with ligands for synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) has emerged as a promising methodology for measuring synaptic density in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the relationship between SV2A PET and CSF synaptic protein changes of AD patients.
Method: Twenty-one participants with early AD and seven cognitively normal (CN) individuals underwent [C]UCB-J PET.

Introduction: The α-synuclein (αSyn) seed amplification assay (αSyn-SAA) is an accurate tool to detect αSyn seeds in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, a minority of clinically diagnosed PD patients are negative for αSyn.
Methods: The αSyn-SAA was performed in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of individuals with PD (n = 93), multiple system atrophy (MSA, n = 26), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP, n = 18), corticobasal syndrome (n = 3), and healthy controls (n = 29).

Background/aim: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, with a mean incidence of 5.1 cases per million people per year. At least 40% of uveal melanoma patients ultimately develop distant metastasis.

Zearalenone (ZEN) is a widespread estrogenic mycotoxin that poses serious health risks to both humans and animals through the contamination of cereals and feeds. In this study, a novel strain X13 was isolated from volcanic rock soil and demonstrated the unique ability to utilize ZEN as the sole carbon source for growth and metabolism. Under optimized conditions (37 °C, pH 8.

Unlabelled: The presence of fungal contamination and its mycotoxins in animal feed is pervasive, posing a significant threat to the well-being and performance of animals, as well as the safety of animal-derived food products. In this work, we screened a strain of () HAU3 that exhibits efficient antifungal activity against the growth of (). The antifungal activity was detected in the supernatant, with 20% sterile supernatant demonstrating an impressive antifungal rate of 98.
