MitoNEET is the first iron-sulfur protein found in mitochondrial outer membrane. Abnormal expression of mitoNEET in cells has been linked to several types of cancer, type II diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Structurally, mitoNEET is anchored to mitochondrial outer membrane via its N-terminal single transmembrane alpha helix. Read More

The role of hydrogen sulfide (HS) is well known in the regulation of abiotic stress such as toxic heavy metal. However, mechanism(s) lying behind this amelioration are still poorly known. Consequently, the present study was focused on the regulation/mitigation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI) toxicity by the application of HS in wheat and rice seedlings. Read More

Electrochemical CO reduction technology can combine renewable energy sources with carbon capture and storage to convert CO into industrial chemicals. However, the catalytic activity under high current density and long-term electrocatalysis process may deteriorate due to agglomeration, catalytic polymerization, element dissolution, and phase change of active substances. Here, we report a scalable and facile method to fabricate aligned InS nanorods by chemical dealloying. Read More

Designing specific-responsive polymer nanocapsules toward a definite cell signaling molecule for targeted therapy faces a great challenge. Here we demonstrate that new block copolymer appended trifluoromethyl ketone side groups can chemoselectively respond to an endogenous redox biosignal, peroxynitrite (ONOO), but shield the interference of other biogenic reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species (ROS/RNS/RSS). The ONOO signaling molecule is capable of triggering cascade oxidation-elimination reactions to cleave the side functionalities from the polymer chain, which induces a large alteration of the polymer amphiphilicity and further leads to controllable disassembly of their self-assembled vesicular structure.

To clarify the chemical characteristics, source contributions, and health risks of pollution events associated with high PM in typical industrial areas of North China, manual sampling and analysis of PM were conducted in the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of 2019 in Pingyin County, Jinan City, Shandong Province. The results showed that the total concentration of 29 components in PM was 53.4 ± 43. Read More
