Resolving Spatially Varied PM2.5 Toxicity in the Yangtze River Delta: Targeting Incomplete Combustion Sources [0.03%]
Xiwen Song,Yi Su,Di Wu et al.
Xiwen Song et al.
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the leading environmental risk factor for premature mortality. Although mass concentrations of PM2.5 have declined in the past decade, the unequal toxicity in different sources remains overlooked in air-qu...
Gestational Exposure to Tri- n-butyl Phosphate Induces Maternal Insulin Resistance and Glucose Intolerance by Antagonizing Estrogen Receptor Alpha [0.03%]
Yun Deng,Shujun Yi,Yu Zheng et al.
Yun Deng et al.
Epidemiological evidence links tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP) exposure to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but mechanistic insights remain unclear. This study demonstrated that gestational TNBP exposure induced a GDM-like phenotype in pre...
Associations of Serum PFAS with Electrocardiographic Abnormalities in Older Adults and Electrophysiological Characterization [0.03%]
Nan Jiang,Beijing Cheng,Han Chen et al.
Nan Jiang et al.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent pollutants increasingly implicated in cardiovascular toxicity, yet their impacts on cardiac electrophysiology remain poorly defined. In this cross-sectional, community-based s...
Bioassay-Based and Parameter-Optimized Bioaccessibility Assay to Predict Chromium Oral Bioavailability from Contaminated Soils [0.03%]
Wenjie Dong,Can Liu,Guobing Lin et al.
Wenjie Dong et al.
Oral exposure to toxic chromium from incidental ingestion of contaminated soil is of concern due to its adverse effects on human health. We developed a mouse urine bioassay to measure the Cr relative bioavailability (Cr-RBA) in contaminated...

Indirect extracellular electron transfer (IEET) mediated by soluble electron shuttles is a critical pathway for anaerobic microbial respiration, influencing redox transformations and element cycling in natural environments. However, direct ...
Temperature-Dependent Iron-Peroxidase Interactions Control Soil Carbon Stabilization across Climatic Gradients [0.03%]
Yi-Xuan Guo,Jannik Martens,Chao Wang et al.
Yi-Xuan Guo et al.
Stabilization of microbial extracellular enzymes by iron minerals is a critical control on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, yet the response of these interactions to climate warming remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated minera...
Highly-Efficient Seawater Hydrogen Production via a Plug-and-Play Solar-Powered Membrane Distillation-Electrolysis System [0.03%]
Dejun Feng,Longchao Wang,Yuanmiaoliang Chen et al.
Dejun Feng et al.
Reliance on fossil fuels and global freshwater scarcity challenge the sustainable production of green hydrogen (H2). Here, we introduce a plug-and-play solar-powered membrane distillation-electrolysis (SMDE) system for sustainable H2 produc...
