The hidden threat from food-derived carbon dots: Formation, biodistribution, and potential health risks.

Food-derived carbon dots (CDs) are a new class of carbon-based nanoparticles generated during the thermal processing of food matrices. These nanomaterials have been extensively studied for their unique fluorescence, good biocompatibility, and tunable surface chemistry in food detection, intelligent packaging, and biomedical applications. However, their nanoscale size and high surface activity have raised safety concerns regarding biological interactions, in vivo biodistribution, and potential long-term health hazards. Although CDs have traditionally been regarded as low-toxicity materials due to their favorable biocompatibility, the potential hidden risks of CDs have not received sufficient attention. CDs exhibit dose-dependent toxicity, not only accumulating in various tissues and organs but also potentially inducing oxidative stress and interfering with cellular metabolic functions. Therefore, this review summarizes the advances in sources, synthetic strategies, and core properties of CDs, with a special focus on in vivo biological interactions, fates, and potential safety challenges. In addition, it is proposed that the standardized detection and risk assessment system should be established to further explore the long-term health effects of CDs under real dietary exposure, thereby ensuring their safety and sustainable application.

Engineered MXene-based nanozyme platform: NIR-II photothermal and dual enzyme-mimetic potentiated chemodynamic synergy for precision tumor eradication.

The antioxidant defense barrier in the tumor microenvironment, particularly glutathione (GSH), considerably restricts the therapeutic efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, CDT generally exhibits relatively mild therapeutic efficacy owing to its intrinsic reaction kinetics, making it difficult to achieve complete tumor eradication within a short time. To address these issues, we construct a functionalized nanotherapeutic platform, Nb2CTx@Ru-PEG2000-FA (NCRPF), for tumor photothermal ablation and enhanced CDT resulting from GSH depletion. NCRPF possesses three key advantages: 1. Efficient near-infrared II photothermal conversion (η = 42.08%), raising the tumor temperature above 45 °C within 90 s for rapid ablation; 2. Dual peroxidase-like and glutathione peroxidase-like activities, simultaneously depleting GSH and generating a burst of ·OH to eliminate residual tumors; 3. Targeted tumor accumulation with 2.9-fold higher efficiency than passive diffusion. Both in vitro and in vivo results confirm that this combined strategy achieves complete tumor eradication with favorable biosafety. Collectively, the NCRPF nanotherapeutic system provides a powerful new paradigm with high translational potential for the complete eradication of breast cancer.

Nephropathies Associated with Sickle Cell Trait and How to Study Them.

Sickle cell trait (SCT), which carries a single point mutation in the hemoglobin-β (HBB) gene, has long been considered a benign condition. However, epidemiological evidence challenges this assumption, revealing that individuals with SCT face an elevated risk of renal dysfunction. However, this field of study remains ill-defined as it has focused on sickle cell disease (SCD), where renal complications are severe. As SCT is more prevalent than SCD, consequences of nephropathies in this group translate into a substantial and largely unaddressed public health burden. Clinical data, primarily observational, implicate age and sex in the development of SCT-associated nephropathies. These manifestations span glomerular hyperfiltration, tubular damage, hematuria, renal papillary necrosis, renal medullary carcinoma, and progression to chronic kidney disease, all complications that cluster disproportionately in older male individuals. Despite this, the mechanistic basis of SCT nephropathy, the thresholds at which renal injury becomes clinically significant, and the optimal strategies for early identification and prevention remain inadequately defined. In vitro studies have primarily focused on SCD blood cell biology, with SCT receiving comparatively little attention. Humanized murine models (i.e., Berkeley and Townes) have recapitulated some SCT-associated renal phenotypes but need to be more fully characterized. This review aims to provide an overview of the biology of sickle cell trait nephropathies, the gaps in our knowledge, and the model systems we can use to fill those gaps.

Effects of apple phenolics on the human metabolome: modulation of key metabolic pathways.

Apples are widely recognized for their potential health benefits, partly attributed to their phenolic compounds. However, their impact on human metabolism remains incompletely understood. This study investigated metabolic effects of apple-derived phenolic compounds using untargeted metabolomics approach across multiple biofluids. In a crossover intervention study, 30 healthy men consumed a phenolic-rich apple juice or a placebo for two weeks. Blood, urine and saliva samples were collected before and after each intervention and analyzed by direct infusion ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry. Consumption of apple phenolic compounds resulted in significant alterations of the human metabolome, including increased levels of phenolic-derived degradation products and microbial-associated metabolites across all biofluids. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed pronounced effects on phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism, as well as linoleic and arachidonic acid metabolism, Overall, these findings demonstrate that apple phenolic compounds induce measurable, microbiota-associated and systemic metabolic changes, providing new insights into their metabolic fate and biological relevance.

Perioperative care for patients with opioid exposure and opioid use disorder: screening and treatment strategies.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The prevalence of opioid tolerance, dependence, and use disorder is increasing among patients presenting for surgical care, yet perioperative management strategies for these patients remain inconsistent. This review examines the impact of preoperative opioid exposure on surgical outcomes, the scope of untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) among surgical patients, and advances in clinical and systems-level approaches to perioperative care. RECENT FINDINGS: Preoperative opioid exposure independently predicts worse surgical outcomes, including higher opioid consumption, readmissions, complications, and mortality, in a dose-dependent manner. Perioperative opioid exposure predicts persistent opioid use after surgery, with the duration of exposure a stronger predictor of subsequent OUD than daily dose. Data-driven prescribing guidelines and structured opioid tapering reduce overprescribing without compromising pain control. Among surgical patients with diagnosed OUD, approximately two-thirds do not receive medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), though treatment engagement and maintenance substantially improve outcomes. Evidence now clearly supports perioperative buprenorphine continuation over interruption. SUMMARY: Effective perioperative management of opioid-complex surgical patients requires systematic screening, evidence-based prescribing, MOUD continuation, and institutional infrastructure. The primary barrier is shifting from evidence generation to implementation.

School-based sexual violence prevention: A systematic review.

PURPOSE: Sexual violence profoundly affects the health and development of children, adolescents, and young adults, representing a persistent challenge to public policy. This systematic review examined the effectiveness of school-based interventions aimed at prevention. METHODS: Eighteen randomized controlled trials published between 2012 and 2024 were retrieved from four major databases. The programs were implemented in primary, secondary, and higher education settings and targeted children, adolescents, and young adults. RESULTS: The results revealed improvements in knowledge and attitude, particularly regarding consent and awareness, whereas evidence supporting behavioral changes was less frequent and often limited. Methodological limitations, such as short follow-up periods and participant attrition, restricted the assessment of long-term outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This review highlights the importance of multicomponent, participatory, and culturally sensitive approaches, along with the integration of digital tools and continuous evaluation systems, to strengthen the role of schools as safe and transformative spaces in the prevention of sexual violence. IMPLICATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS: This systematic review suggests that school-based interventions hold significant potential for the prevention of sexual violence. It identifies promising strategies and reinforces the importance of culturally sensitive, sustained, evidence-based approaches to ensure learning environments that are safe, protective, and promotive of gender equity.

Topical Carboxytherapy as an Adjunct to Skin Recovery Post-CO2 Laser Fractional Resurfacing.

BACKGROUND: Topical carboxytherapy, a transcutaneous carbon dioxide (CO2) delivery system, may support skin repair and regeneration, yet its role as an adjunct to fractional laser treatment remains underexplored. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of topical CO2 mask (CO2Lift® Carboxy Gel, Lumisque Skincare) in supporting skin recovery and improving clinical outcomes following fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. METHOD: This 12-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluated mild-to-moderate photoaging (n=6 females only). Participants received either topical carboxytherapy (n=4) or standard care (n=2). Assessments included VISIA-CR imaging, biophysical measurements, investigator ratings, and paired (baseline and 4-week) skin biopsies. RESULTS: Topical carboxytherapy accelerated recovery and was well-tolerated, with no major adverse events. VISIA-CR imaging showed accelerated erythema resolution, transepidermal water loss normalized more rapidly, and pH remained stable. Skin histology at week 4 revealed epidermal thickening and rete ridge formation with topical carboxytherapy vs placebo. Investigator ratings demonstrated significantly improved healing, global assessment, and global aesthetic improvement scale scores, with trends toward improvement in photodamage, rhytides, and pigmentation. CONCLUSION: Adjunctive topical carboxytherapy after fractional CO2 resurfacing accelerated healing, improved barrier recovery, and overall aesthetic outcomes. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Multiomic insights into fungal polylactic acid degradation: Metabolic adaptation and hydrolytic mechanisms of Sporobolomyces pararoseus.

Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polyester from renewable resources, is a sustainable alternative to petrochemical plastics. However, its environmental degradation is inefficient naturally, requiring specific microbial activities. While bacterial PLA-degrading mechanisms are well documented, fungal degrading systems-particularly their molecular mechanisms-are underexplored.We isolated Sporobolomyces pararoseus ZRQ01 from the gut microbiota of PLA-fed mealworms. This fungal strain noticeably degraded PLA in PLA-containing medium supplemented with 2% glucose. Biodegradation assays revealed 22.8% loss of the PLA film weight after 35 days of incubation, and scanning electron microscopy confirmed extensive surface erosion and pore formation. Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, together with the reference genome of S. pararoseus ZRQ01, revealed that S. pararoseus ZRQ01 upregulates hydrolytic enzymes at both transcript and protein levels to cleave PLA into lactic acid. After lactic acid is transferred into S. pararoseus ZRQ01 cells by monocarboxylate transporters with increased abundance, it is assimilated by pathways of pyruvate metabolism and the TCA cycle with increased protein abundance. Intriguingly, upregulation of genes in autophagy-related and MAPK signaling pathways underscores an adaptive stress response potentially supporting cellular homeostasis and degradation-related gene expression. Our results highlight S. pararoseus ZRQ01's metabolic potential for bioremediation and offer insights into fungal bioplastic degradation pathways.

Biological characterization of Candida parapsilosis haploids induced by voriconazole.

OBJECTIVES: Candida parapsilosis is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen causing serious human infections in nosocomial settings. It has long been thought that C. parapsilosis has a diploid genome with a high homozygosity between chromosome homologs. METHODS: In this study, we report the discovery of C. parapsilosis haploids induced by voriconazole, a triazole with broad antifungal activity against fungal pathogens, in an experimental evolutionary assay. RESULTS: The haploid strains were able to undergo auto-diploidization under in vitro culture conditions or during systemic infection at a low frequency. Compared to the progenitor diploid strain, C. parapsilosis haploid and auto-diploid strains exhibited a reduced ability of invasive growth and biofilm formation. Global transcriptional expression analysis indicated that haploid and auto-diploid strains had a similar transcriptomic profile, which showed a remarkable difference from the progenitor diploid strain perhaps due to the loss of chromosome heterozygosity. Moreover, the haploid and diploid strains had distinct fungal burdens in different animal tissues, suggesting the haploid state could have a colonization advantage over the diploids in certain tissues such as the brain and spleen. CONCLUSIONS: The discovery of C. parapsilosis haploids not only sheds lights on the biology of this important fungal pathogen, but also provides a tool for genetic modifications for the field.

CNNM2 in schizophrenia: multilevel evidence of genetic susceptibility, magnesium homeostasis, neurodevelopment and cognitive dysfunction.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a common psychiatric disorder with a complex, genetically and environmentally influenced etiology, but the specific pathogenesis remains unclear. In recent years, the SCZ susceptibility gene CNNM2 (encoding cyclin M2) located at the 10q24.32-33 locus has received widespread attention. The well-validated SCZ risk interval 10q24.32-33 harbors two independent risk variants: rs11191580 in NT5C2 (significantly associated with CNNM2 mRNA and protein levels) and rs7914558 in CNNM2. Results from functional genomic analyses indicate that lower CNNM2 expression is significantly associated with SCZ. Imaging genetics studies have demonstrated that carriers of risk alleles of CNNM2 SNPs exhibit alterations in brain structure. Animal model studies have revealed that Cnnm2 downregulation in mice leads to impairments in sensorimotor gating and cognitive function. As an Mg2+ transporter, CNNM2 primarily maintains systemic Mg2+ homeostasis. According to clinical studies, a proportion of patients with SCZ exhibit reduced Mg2+ concentrations in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. CNNM2 dysfunction may contribute to the pathology of SCZ by disrupting Mg2+ homeostasis, thereby affecting neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity. A systematic consolidation of current evidence supporting the involvement of CNNM2 in SCZ pathogenesis provides a direction for further investigation of the pathological mechanisms underlying this disease, and for identification of novel targets for clinical intervention..

Plant cis-regulatory grammar: Decoding the multidimensional code of transcriptional regulation for programmable crop engineering.

Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) orchestrate the spatiotemporal precision of gene expression that underlies plant development, adaptation, and domestication. Decoding the cis-regulatory grammar of plant genomes remains a central challenge in modern biology, with profound implications for programmable crop engineering. Here, recent conceptual and technological advances are synthesized to reshape our understanding of plant CREs. This review first argues that CRE function is not only an intrinsic property of DNA sequence alone but also emerges from a multidimensional context, including chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, three-dimensional genome topology, and cell type-specific regulatory landscapes. Furthermore, the convergence of single-cell epigenomics, high-throughput functional assays, and CRISPR-based dissection has begun to unravel this contextual grammar, revealing the computational principles governing transcriptional regulation. Critically, we propose that artificial intelligence (AI) platforms are catalyzing an ongoing transition from descriptive discovery to predictive engineering, wherein these platforms outperform natural evolution in designing synthetic CREs. Finally, a roadmap is outlined toward a plant regulatory grammar foundation model, which will enable truly predictive engineering of gene expression when fine-tuned for specific tasks. Collectively, the integration of single-cell resolution maps, precise genome editing, AI-driven design, and regulatory-compliant delivery systems promises to transform our ability to reprogram plant gene regulation for next-generation agriculture, bridging the gap between foundational regulatory biology and tangible crop improvement.

Beyond species trees: pervasive gene flow limits phylogenomic resolution in the diversification of Juniperus from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Understanding how lineages diversify despite persistent ancestral polymorphism and recurrent gene flow remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. Juniperus distributed across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau provide an ideal system for addressing this question because repeated geological uplift and climatic oscillations have likely promoted cycles of lineage divergence, range shifts, and secondary contact. Here, we combined approximately 1.08 million genome-wide SNPs from 164 individuals representing thirteen Juniperus lineages with phylogenomic datasets comprising 3,381 nuclear single-copy genes and nearly complete plastomes. We detected extensive phylogenomic discordance and cytonuclear incongruence across genomic datasets. Topology weighting, coalescent simulations, quartet-based tests, and analyses of gene flow and reticulation collectively support the interpretation that these patterns were shaped by the combined effects of prolonged incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow during lineage diversification. Ecological niche analyses further provide a spatial and climatic context in which environmentally similar lineages may have had greater opportunities for secondary contact during historical range shifts. Collectively, our results reveal that the evolutionary history of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Juniperus is characterized by reticulate diversification rather than strictly bifurcating evolution, and demonstrate how genome-wide discordance can provide biological insights into the evolutionary processes underlying lineage diversification.

A profile of abandoned fetal and neonatal remains admitted to the Diepkloof forensic pathology service medico-legal mortuary during the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods.

The abandonment of neonates is a global concern, with a higher prevalence of cases present in South Africa. This study aimed to review cases admitted to the Diepkloof Forensic Pathology Service during the COVID-19 (2020-2021) and post-COVID-19 (2023) periods. A total of 158 cases were analysed to determine prevalence, demographic characteristics, circumstances and causes of death, with a comparative analysis between the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods. Most cases were classified as natural. However, many were undetermined due to decomposition. Non-viable fetuses (< 26 wk gestation) comprised 47% of the cases. Among the viable births (n = 72), 23 (32%) were classified as stillbirths, while 11 (15%) were live births. A minority of cases were deemed unnatural, with deaths attributed to trauma (8 cases) or abandonment (2 cases). No statistically significant difference was found between the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods. Decedents were most often found in open spaces, roads or streets, or dumping sites, most commonly wrapped in plastic materials. These findings highlight the severity of fetal and neonatal abandonment. They underscore a pressing need for targeted preventative measures, community outreach, and enhanced support systems in maternal healthcare to address this growing concern.

A transcription factor-focused CRISPR screen identifies SKI as a BCL11A-independent repressor of ζ-globin.

The regulation of α-like globin genes, particularly the embryonic ζ-globin gene (HBZ), remains incompletely understood. To identify transcriptional regulators of HBZ, we establish a GFP reporter system based on the HBZ-P2A-GFP allele in erythroid cell lines and conduct a CRISPR/Cas9 screen targeting 1639 transcription factors. This screen identifies SKI as a potent HBZ repressor. Functional validation shows that SKI loss increases HBZ expression without impairing erythropoiesis, whereas SKI overexpression suppresses HBZ. Tet-on-inducible SKI overexpression and auxin-inducible SKI degradation indicate that SKI rapidly represses HBZ transcription. Transcriptome profiling further reveals that SKI deletion activates HBZ while minimally affecting other erythroid genes. Mechanistically, genome-wide occupancy analyses show that SKI binds the distal enhancers HS-10 and HS-40, with partial co-occupancy by BCL11A. Despite this overlap, dual knockout of SKI and BCL11A synergistically increases HBZ expression, as does base editing of the SKI-binding site within HS-10. We also identify a naturally occurring variant (chr16:193207G>A) within this enhancer in α-thalassemia patients with elevated ζ-globin levels. Together, these findings establish SKI as a direct, BCL11A-independent transcriptional repressor of ζ-globin. This work advances our understanding of globin gene regulation and suggests targeted ζ-globin reactivation as a potential therapeutic strategy for α-thalassemia.

Tripled-Stranded Antisense Oligonucleotide for Biomarker-Activated Suppression of Essential Genes.

Conditional activation of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) is a promising strategy for selective suppression of cancer cells without affecting normal cells. In this study, we developed a tripled-stranded ASO (tsASO) that is rendered inactive through complexation with two additional oligonucleotides. The key innovation is the use of partial overlap between the parent ASO and the biomarker sequence, combined with toehold-mediated strand displacement, enabling precise conditional activation. The tsASO effectively triggered RNase H-mediated degradation of DYNC1I2 and DARS1 RNAs exclusively in the presence of the ERBB2 sequence. In cell-free systems, the tsASO demonstrated high cleavage efficiency (up to 81%), comparable to the parent ASO efficiency, with minimal background activity in the absence of the biomarker sequence, validating the concept at the molecular level. However, in cells using lipid-based transfection, the tsASO exhibited nonspecific cytotoxicity that did not correlate with biomarker presence or target gene expression. Detailed analysis showed no clear support for known sequence-driven toxicity mechanisms (CpG/TLR9, G-quadruplexes) in the nonimmune cell lines, suggesting that the primary limitation is intracellular delivery rather than the tsASO design. Future work should focus on optimizing delivery platforms to achieve controlled cellular uptake and biomarker-dependent release, unlocking the therapeutic potential of this conditional gene silencing approach.

Chalcone-indole hybrid scaffolds as promising anticancer drug candidates: a mini-review.

Cancer treatment is hampered by severe systemic side effects, poor tumor selectivity, and multidrug resistance (MDR). Molecular hybridization integrates chalcone and indole, two privileged antitumor pharmacophores, into one scaffold to generate chalcone-indole hybrids that synergistically enhance antitumor potency, improve tumor targeting, and reverse MDR. This mini-review analyzes literature from 2020 to 2026 on chalcone-indole anticancer hybrids. Based on structural modification patterns, the reported hybrids are categorized into four subgroups: simple substituted, α/β-position modified, N-1 fatty acid-substituted, and multi-pharmacophore fused hybrids. For each category, we summarize structure-activity relationships (SARs), antiproliferative activity, selective toxicity, molecular mechanisms, and in vivo xenograft performance. Most lead compounds exert tumor-suppressive effects via tubulin polymerization inhibition, G2/M cell cycle arrest, ROS overaccumulation, and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. Representative hybrids 10a, 12a, 21a, and 25a exhibit remarkable efficacy against drug-resistant colorectal, lung, and breast tumors with favorable in vivo safety. We highlight the application potential of different subtypes for specific malignancies, including α/β-modified analogues for resistant colorectal cancer, N-1 fatty acid-platinum conjugates for platinum-resistant lung cancer, NLRP3 inhibitor 7a for oral cancer, and multi-pharmacophore fused derivatives for broad-spectrum activity. Current bottlenecks limiting clinical transformation are discussed. This review provides structural design rules for developing novel chalcone-indole targeted anticancer agents.

Mapping Wastewater Pathogens and Their Associated Environmental and Public Health Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a critical tool for public health surveillance, yet its application across diverse pathogens and geographical settings remains inconsistent. This systematic review synthesizes global evidence on wastewater surveillance to identify associated risk factors. METHODS: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD420261297382), a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for studies published between 2000 and 2025. RESULTS: Thirty-nine peer-reviewed studies were included. The evidence base is geographically skewed toward the European Region (48.7%) and the Americas (23.1%), with significant underrepresentation in LMICs. Viruses were the primary biological target (89.7%), followed by bacteria (7.7%) and parasites (2.6%). A proportion meta-analysis of 31 eligible studies demonstrated a pooled wastewater pathogen detection prevalence of 62% (95% CI: 47.5-74.6%), with the European Region yielding the highest regional estimate (73%) and the African Region the lowest (8.3%). Conventional PCR and sequencing methods showed higher pooled detection rates (92.4% and 90.1%, respectively) than RT-qPCR (47.9%). CONCLUSION: WBE provides a robust early-warning system indicating a need for broader pathogen diversity, incorporating bacterial and parasitic surveillance and expansion into rural and resource-limited regions.

Psychological consequences of AI-assisted training and the buffering role of mindfulness.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into athletic training is accelerating, yet its psychological implications for athletes remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on the transactional model of stress and the stress-buffering framework of mindfulness, this study examined whether mindfulness training can mitigate adverse psychological responses associated with AI-assisted training. Using a randomized controlled factorial design, 160 collegiate athletes were assigned to AI-assisted training or standard training, with or without concurrent mindfulness intervention, and assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 8. Athletes exposed to AI-assisted training without psychological support exhibited increases in perceived stress and AI dependence over time. In contrast, these stress increases were substantially attenuated when mindfulness training was implemented alongside AI-assisted training. A significant AI × Mindfulness × Time interaction emerged for perceived stress at post-intervention, and difference-in-differences analyses corroborated a robust buffering effect. Mediation analyses further indicated that mindfulness training reduced stress partially through enhancing mindful awareness; a three-wave cross-lagged analysis showed that mindful awareness and stress were reciprocally related over time, with the hypothesized awareness-to-stress pathway remaining robust. Together, these findings suggest that AI-assisted training introduces a distinct form of evaluative pressure, and that mindfulness training may serve as an effective psychological buffer during the adoption of continuous algorithmic performance evaluation systems.
