Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a common antioxidant in food oils, and reliable detection methods are needed to ensure food safety. Here, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on BiO/MgInS/GCE was developed for the detection of TBHQ. The sensor performance was significantly enhanced through electrostatic assembly of sheet-like BiO onto flower-like MgInS, forming a type-II heterojunction with carefully controlled component ratios, pH, and applied potential. The improved detection capability is attributed to the synergistic effect of the heterojunction structure. Furthermore, the selectivity of the sensor towards TBHQ was elucidated through the study of electrostatic interactions and redox potentials. The detection limit of the developed BiO/MgInS/GCE sensor was as low as 9 nM with two linear ranges (0.03-0.18 μM and 0.18-60 μM). Its effectiveness in monitoring food safety has been demonstrated by successful uses in blend oils and soybean oils.

Soy protein remains a key component of plant-based food development, but its application is challenged by inherent allergenicity. Previous work identified that native amyloid-like protein aggregates in soy 7S globulin that resist gastrointestinal digestion and exhibit pronounced antigenicity. Herein, we demonstrate that protein deamidation significantly enhances proteolysis under an infant gastrointestinal digestion model, leading to ∼80 and 50% reductions in IgG- and IgE-binding capacities, respectively.

Rising atmospheric CO exposes plants to high-CO environments, while excessive nitrogen fertilizer use degrades soil, highlighting the need to reduce nitrogen input and cultivate vigorous cucumber seedlings under HC-LN conditions. Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) sense calcium signals and regulate carbon/nitrogen metabolism via CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), though their roles in cucumber under HC-LN conditions are unclear. Here, we identified seven and 19 genes.

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and targeted therapeutic strategies. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), known for its favorable safety profile and broad pharmacological effects, offers promising candidates for cancer treatment. Salvianolic acid F (SAF), a key bioactive compound derived from , has demonstrated antitumor potential, but its role and underlying mechanisms in lung cancer remain inadequately characterized.
