Enzymatic pathways of phytate degradation in saline–alkaline soils #sci...

Image
Description This study investigates the microbial mechanisms responsible for organic phosphorus mineralization and inorganic phosphorus solubilization in arid cotton fields subjected to brackish water drip irrigation and phosphorus fertilization. It explores how microbial enzymatic activity, community composition, and gene expression regulate phosphorus cycling under combined salinity and nutrient stress. Through a combination of metagenomic, biochemical, and ecological analyses, the research aims to elucidate the functional diversity of phosphate-solubilizing and mineralizing microbes, providing scientific insights for improving phosphorus use efficiency and soil fertility in sustainable cotton production within arid and saline agroecosystems.   #nutrientcycling #phosphorususeefficiency #microbialbiodiversity #soilmicrobiomefunction #brackishwaterimpact #salinityandnutrientinteraction #microbialstressresponse #sciencefather #chinascientist #trending #technology#facts Event : C...

In situ microbial reduction of uranium in stabilized mining environments...

Image
Description This study focuses on in situ microbial remediation of uranium-contaminated wastewater within stabilized uranium mining areas, aiming to restore environmental quality through natural microbial processes. By stimulating indigenous or introduced microbial communities, uranium in its soluble hexavalent form (U(VI)) can be reduced to insoluble tetravalent uranium (U(IV)), thereby immobilizing it and preventing further groundwater contamination. The research explores microbial community structure, redox interactions, biogeochemical parameters, and long-term stability of remediation performance. Emphasis is placed on developing sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly bioremediation strategies applicable to post-mining ecosystems.   #environmentalcleanup #waterrestoration #sustainablemining #wastewatertreatment #sciencefather #chinascientist #trending #technology#factsvideo Event : China Scientist Awards   visit: chinascientist.net  Nomination Link: chinasc...

The impact of metabolic reprogramming on disc cell senescence #sciencefa...

Image
Description Cellular senescence plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a major cause of chronic back pain and spinal disability. Senescent disc cells exhibit irreversible growth arrest, secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, and contribute to matrix degradation, thereby accelerating tissue dysfunction. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying senescence—such as oxidative stress, DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and SASP activation—provides valuable insights into disc aging and degeneration. Therapeutic interventions, including senolytic drugs, gene editing, antioxidant therapy, and stem cell transplantation, offer promising avenues to modulate senescence, restore disc homeostasis, and delay degenerative progression. This review explores emerging evidence on targeting cellular senescence for intervertebral disc regeneration and highlights future directions for translational and clinical applications. #sasp #senolytictherapy #ox...

Comparative simulation on lysozyme solvation and stability in DMSO wate...

Image
Description This study investigates how dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) affects the structural stability of lysozyme during electrospray ionization (ESI) using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The research elucidates the solvent–protein interactions, hydrogen bond dynamics, and conformational shifts that occur in lysozyme when exposed to varying concentrations of DMSO. Through detailed molecular modeling, the work reveals how DMSO stabilizes or destabilizes specific protein domains, influencing the ionization efficiency and charge state distribution in mass spectrometry. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of solvent-modulated protein behavior in analytical and biological environments, with implications for proteomics and biophysical chemistry.   #moleculardynamics #massspectrometry #proteinstructure #dmso #computationalbiology #proteinfolding #structuralbiology #bioinformatics #proteomics #molecularinteraction #hydrogenbonding # sciencefather #chinascientist #trendin...
