Autophagy mediated by ROS-AKT-FoxO pathway is required for intestinal regeneration in echinoderms by Chuili Zeng, Ming Guo, Ke Xiao, Chenghua Li

“…We observed that autophagy activation was significantly associated with enhanced regeneration, and its upregulation was shown to be regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts. Mechanistically, ROS induced the dephosphorylation of Forkhead box protein O (FoxO) through AjAKT dephosphorylation. …”

Separation of Inorganic Forms of Tellurium Using On-Site SPE Followed by ICP-MS or ICP-OES—The Right Solution for Water Monitoring by Katarzyna Kińska, Barbara Żelazko, Olga Gajewska, Magdalena Borowska, Monika Sadowska, Beata Krasnodębska-Ostręga

“…Hydride generation inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (HG-ICP-OES) was used to control possible changes in tellurium speciation occurring during species isolation using SPE. The simple and fast water pretreatment proposed here offers the possibility of separating Te(IV) and Te(VI) at the sampling site, and the elution of Te(IV) does not have to be conducted on-site. …”

Solid-State 13C NMR Spectroscopy Applied to the Study of Carbon Blacks and Carbon Deposits Obtained by Plasma Pyrolysis of Natural Gas by Jair C. C. Freitas, Daniel F. Cipriano, Carlos G. Zucolotto, Alfredo G. Cunha, Francisco G. Emmerich

“…In contrast to DP experiments, only a small fraction of 13C nuclei in the plasma blacks are effectively cross-polarized from nearby 1H nuclei and are thus observed in spectra recorded with CP. 13C NMR spectra are thus useful to distinguish between different types of carbon species in plasma blacks and allow a selective study of groups spatially close to hydrogen in the material.…”

Selective Americium Separation: New Insights into the Complexation of Trivalent f-Elements with SO3-Ph-BTBP by Sauerwein Fynn S., Sittel Thomas, Geist Andreas, Panak Petra J., Wilden Andreas, Modolo Giuseppe

“…However, the complexation at high DNO3 concentration is subject to a slower than expected complexation kinetics leading to the conclusion that the unusual extraction behavior is probably related to a kinetics effect rather than an unknown complex species. Kinetics studies using solvent extraction show a slowly increasing extraction of heavy Ln(III) and Y(III) into the organic phase which is attributed to a kinetically inhibited decomplexation of the SO3-Ph-BTBP complexes. …”
