Co-pollution of nitrate and tetracycline (TC) poses a critical barrier to efficient biological treatment due to impaired electron transfer, diminished microbial metabolic activity, and disrupted community structure. To address this challenge, this study synthesized an iron-nitrogen-doped carbon material (Fe-NC) featuring electron-withdrawing pyridinic n ...

Transwell co-culture systems are models for examining cellular crosstalk, but the impact of porous membrane material on myogenic outcomes remains uncharacterized. We investigated the influence of transwell membrane material on myoblast differentiation in co-culture with human primary adipocytes and in varying concentrations of insulin-transferrin-seleni ...

Urbanization drives rapid and extreme environmental change, profoundly shaping the ecology and evolution of populations. In this Perspective, we call for the integration and development of evolutionary theory and empirical research through collaboration between theoretical and experimental biol ...

Blunt traumatic aortic rupture (BTAR) is a life-threatening injury that can occur in high-impact events such as motor vehicle collisions, falls, and sports-related trauma involving the thorax. Despite improvements in vehicle safety features and regulations by using anthropometric test devices, BTAR remains associated with substantial clinical severity a ...

Adipose tissue (AT) immune cells are implicated in the pathology of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and their content likely differs between abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (abSAT), femoral SAT (fmSAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Therefore, the objective of the current study was to develop ...

The offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (OBD) are at high risk for developing affective disorders. Low levels of organization and consistency in the home (parenting structure) is associated with increased behavioral problems and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) reactivity in the OBD and thus may be an important developmental risk factor. We a ...

Accented second language (L2) speakers are frequently evaluated less favorably than first language (L1) speakers in employment contexts. Processing fluency (the subjective ease of understanding a speaker) has been identified as an experiential variable that helps explain why L2 speakers tend to receive lower workplace-relevant evaluations. However, less ...

Ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging at sub-millimeter resolution opens the possibility to assess subtle longitudinal changes in brain structure and function. Identifying the regions and putative mechanisms involved in learning specific motor sequences is a key step towards understanding neuroplasticity. To disambiguate sequence-specific learning ...

Biomass and abundance data are critical for ecosystem monitoring and management of fish populations, yet their acquisition represents a growing challenge as anthropogenic pressures intensify the need for monitoring. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has the potential to provide cost-effective biomass and abundance estimations, but its high molecular stability ma ...

The ability to predict or anticipate musical events contributes to music-related pleasure and memory; however, their contributions to learning to play a melody have been less well-explored. In this study, we investigated how musical predictability and pleasure influenced how nonmusicians learned to play short melodies, as well as post-learning recall. P ...
