Targeting ferroptosis for improved radiotherapy outcomes in HPV‐negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by Joo Kyung Noh, Min Kyeong Lee, Yeonseo Lee, Minji Bae, Soonki Min, Moonkyoo Kong, Jung Woo Lee, Su Il Kim, Young Chan Lee, Seong‐Gyu Ko, Seon Rang Woo, Young‐Gyu Eun

“…Furthermore, our in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that treatment with statins, such as atorvastatin and simvastatin, induced ferroptosis and sensitized radioresistant HNSCC cells to irradiation, improving radiosensitivity and potentially enhancing the response to RT. Additionally, in xenograft models, the combination of statins and RT led to a significant reduction in tumor initiation. …”

Microbial mechanisms underlying the reduction of N2O emissions from submerged plant covered system by Yongxia Huang, Min Deng, Shuni Zhou, Yunpeng Xue, Senbati Yeerken, Yuren Wang, Lu Li, Kang Song

“…Further analysis of N2O metabolic rates from nitrification, denitrification, and abiotic processes under light and dark conditions confirmed that counter-diffusion of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in SP biofilms plays a key role in reducing denitrification-driven N2O emissions. Additionally, SP-attached biofilms increased nosZII-type denitrifiers (e.g., Bacillus) and reduced N2O production potential ((nirS+nirK)/(nosZI+nosZII)). …”
