    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells exhibit promising progress in addressing hematologic malignancies. However, CAR-T therapy for solid tumors remains limited, with no FDA-approved CAR-T products available for clinical use at present. Primary reasons include insufficient infiltration, accumulation, tumor immunosuppression of the microenvironment, and related side effects. Single utilization of CAR-T cannot effectively overcome these unfavorable obstacles. A probable effective pathway to achieve a better CAR-T therapy effect would be to combine the benefits of biomaterials-based technology. In this article, comprehensive biomaterials strategies to break through these obstacles of CAR-T cell therapy at the tumor sites are summarized, encompassing the following aspects: 1) generating orthotopic CAR-T cells; 2) facilitating CAR-T cell trafficking; 3) stimulating CAR-T cell expansion and infiltration; 4) improving CAR-T cell activity and persistence; 5) reprogramming the immunosuppressive microenvironments. Additionally, future requirements for the development of this field, with a specific emphasis on promoting innovation and facilitating clinical translation, are thoroughly discussed.

    Abstract Considering the high risk of heavy metal ions (HMIs) transferring through the food chain and accumulating in milk, a flexible and facile point-of-care testing (POCT) platform is urgently needed for the accurate, sensitive, and highly selective on-site quantification of multiple HMIs in milk. In this work, a cost-effective disk with six screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) was designed for hand-held electrochemical detection. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were adopted to amplify and enhance the electrochemical signals of methylene blue (MB). Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods, low limits of detection for four HMIs (Cd

    Abstract Aerobic composting is a promising technology for converting manure into organic fertilizer with low capital investment and easy operation. However, the large nitrogen losses in conventional aerobic composting impede its development. Interconversion of nitrogen species was studied during membrane-covered aerobic composting (MCAC) and conventional aerobic composting, and solid-, liquid-, and gas-phase nitrogen migration pathways were identified by performing nitrogen balance measurements.

    Abstract Noninvasive genetic sampling greatly facilitates studies on the genetics, ecology, and conservation of threatened species. Species identification is often a prerequisite for noninvasive sampling-based biological studies. Due to the low quantity and quality of genomic DNA from noninvasive samples, high-performance short-target PCR primers are necessary for DNA barcoding applications. The order Carnivora is characterized by an elusive habit and threatened status. In this study, we developed three pairs of short-target primers for identifying Carnivora species. The COI279 primer pair was suitable for samples with better DNA quality. The COI157a and COI157b primer pairs performed well for noninvasive samples and reduced the interference of nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (numts). COI157a could effectively identify samples from Felidae, Canidae, Viverridae, and Hyaenidae, while COI157b could be applied to samples from Ursidae, Ailuridae, Mustelidae, Procyonidae, and Herpestidae. These short-target primers will facilitate noninvasive biological studies and efforts to conserve Carnivora species.

    Abstract Depressive disorders are widely debilitating psychiatric disease. Despite the considerable progress in the field of depression therapy, extensive research spanning many decades has failed to uncover pathogenic pathways that might aid in the creation of long-acting and rapid-acting antidepressants. Consequently, it is imperative to reconsider existing approaches and explore other targets to improve this area of study. In contemporary times, several scholarly investigations have unveiled that persons who have received a diagnosis of depression, as well as animal models employed to study depression, demonstrate a decrease in both the quantity as well as density of astrocytes, accompanied by alterations in gene expression and morphological attributes. Astrocytes rely on a diverse array of channels and receptors to facilitate their neurotransmitter transmission inside tripartite synapses. This study aimed to investigate the potential processes behind the development of depression, specifically focusing on astrocyte-associated neuroinflammation and the involvement of several molecular components such as connexin 43, potassium channel Kir4.1, aquaporin 4, glutamatergic aspartic acid transporter protein, SLC1A2 or GLT-1, glucocorticoid receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B, and autophagy, that localized on the surface of astrocytes. The study also explores novel approaches in the treatment of depression, with a focus on astrocytes, offering innovative perspectives on potential antidepressant medications.

    Abstract Aerobic composting is a promising technology for converting manure into organic fertilizer with low capital investment and easy operation. However, the large nitrogen losses in conventional aerobic composting impede its development. Interconversion of nitrogen species was studied during membrane-covered aerobic composting (MCAC) and conventional aerobic composting, and solid-, liquid-, and gas-phase nitrogen migration pathways were identified by performing nitrogen balance measurements. During the thermophilic phase, nitrogenous organic matter degradation and therefore NH₃ production were faster during MCAC than uncovered composting. However, the water films inside and outside the membrane decreased NH₃ release by 13.92%–22.91%. The micro-positive pressure environment during MCAC decreased N₂O production and emission by 20.35%–27.01%. Less leachate was produced and therefore less nitrogen and other pollutants were released during MCAC than uncovered composting. The nitrogen succession patterns during MCAC and uncovered composting were different and NH₄⁺ storage in organic nitrogen fractions was better facilitated during MCAC than uncovered composting. Overall, MCAC decreased total nitrogen losses by 33.24%–50.07% and effectively decreased environmental pollution and increased the nitrogen content of the produced compost.

    Abstract In this study, we developed an innovative highly specific nucleic acid isothermal detection assay based on prokaryotic DNA polymerase I with exquisitely designed fluorescent probes, achieving high sensitivity and 100% specificity within 30 min. The fluorescent nucleic acid probe was designed and constructed based on the specific flap cleavage endonuclease activity of prokaryotic DNA polymerase I (including the Bst, Bsu, Bsm, and Klenow DNA polymerases). The flap endonuclease activity depends on the length of the flap DNA and polymerization activity, which greatly reduces the false-positive rate caused by primer dimerization. This robust assay was also validated by the detection of rotavirus with great specificity and sensitivity. It could be a great alternative to qPCR in the field of point-of-care detection of pathogens.
