Real water irradiation proved the formation of NO2- and H2O2 at levels near to or greater than current drinking water regulatory limits. Hence, the study reminds of a holistic view of benefits and disbenefits of a VUV process.Artificial enzymes with modulated enzyme-mimicking activities of natural systems represent a challenge in catalytic applications. Here, we show the creation of artificial Cu metalloenzymes based on the generation of Cu nanoparticles in an enzyme matrix. Different enzymes were used, and the structural differences between the enzymes especially influenced the controlled the size of the nanoparticles and the environment that surrounds them. Herein, we demonstrated that the oxidase-like catalytic activity of these copper nanozymes was rationally modulated by enzyme used as a scaffold, with a special role in the nanoparticle size and their environment. In this sense, these nanocopper hybrids have confirmed the ability to mimic a unique enzymatic activity completely different from the natural activity of the enzyme used as a scaffold, such as tyrosinase-like activity or as Fenton catalyst, which has extremely higher stability than natural mushroom tyrosinase. More interestingly, the oxidoreductase-like activity of nanocopper hybrids was cooperatively modulated with the synergistic effect between the enzyme and the nanoparticles improving the catalase activity (no peroxidase activity). Additionally, a novel dual (metallic and enzymatic activity) of the nanozyme made the highly improved catechol-like activity interesting for the design of 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (l-DOPA) biosensor for detection of tyrosinase. These hybrids also showed cytotoxic activity against different tumor cells, interesting in biocatalytic tumor therapy.White leaf No.1 (WL-1) is a low temperature-induced albino tea cultivar, which sticks out from tea plants with rich amino acids. Because harmonization of chloroplast ultrastructure integrity and lower chlorophyll contents during the albinism processes is much crucial for WL-1 production under extreme weather conditions, we carried out a field experiment to investigate the regulating effects of exogenous glycinebetaine (GB) on the chloroplast ultrastructure and quality constituents in young leaves of WL-1 at different albinism stages. The internal structure of chloroplasts degenerated at the albinistic stage, and chlorophyll contents were significantly lower than those at pre-albinistic and regreening stages. Spraying GB regulated etioplast-chloroplast transition, significantly increased epigallocatechin gallate, theanine, and caffeine contents, and lowered chlorophyll content in albinistic young leaves of WL-1, thus improving its quality in some aspects, maintaining special leaf color, exerting flavor and umami, and improving antioxidant and refreshing effects. Foliar application of GB is an efficient technical measure in practice.Not available.GFI1B is a transcription factor essential for the regulation of erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis, and pathogenic variants have been associated with thrombocytopenia and bleeding. Analysing thrombocytopenic families by whole exome sequencing, we identified a novel GFI1B variant (c.648+5G>A), which causes exon 9 skipping and overexpression of a shorter p32 isoform. We report the clinical data of our patients and critically review the phenotype observed in individuals with different GFI1B variants leading to the same effect on the p32 expression. Since p32 is increased in acute and chronic leukemia cells, we tested the expression level of genes playing a role in various type of cancers, including hematological tumors and found that they are significantly dysregulated, suggesting a potential role for GFI1B in carcinogenesis regulation. Increasing the number of individuals with GFI1B variants will allow us to better characterize this rare disease and determine whether it is associated with an increased risk of developing malignancies.Activation of JAK-STAT signaling is one of the hallmarks of myelofibrosis, a myeloproliferative neoplasm that leads to inflammation, progressive bone marrow failure, and a risk of leukemic transformation. Around 90% of patients with myelofibrosis have a mutation in JAK2, MPL, or CALR so-called 'driver' mutations that lead to activation of JAK2. Ruxolitinib, and other JAK2 inhibitors in clinical use, provide clinical benefit but do not have a major impact on the abnormal hematopoietic clone. This phenomenon is termed 'persistence', in contrast to usual patterns of resistance. Multiple groups have shown that type 1 inhibitors of JAK2, which bind the active conformation of the enzyme, lead to JAK2 becoming resistant to degradation with consequent accumulation of phospho-JAK2. In turn, this can lead to exacerbation of inflammatory manifestations when the JAK inhibitor is discontinued, and it may also contribute to disease persistence. Androgen Receptor Antagonist The ways in which JAK2 V617F and CALR mutations lead to activation of JAK-STAT signaling are incompletely understood. We summarize what is known about pathological JAK-STAT activation in myelofibrosis and how this might lead to future novel therapies for myelofibrosis with greater disease-modifying potential.Since the dawn of medicine, scientists have carefully observed, modeled and interpreted the human body to improve healthcare. At the beginning there were drawings and paintings, now there is three-dimensional modeling. Moving from two-dimensional cultures and towards complex and relevant biomaterials, tissue-engineering approaches have been developed in order to create three-dimensional functional mimics of native organs. The bone marrow represents a challenging organ to reproduce because of its structure and composition that confer it unique biochemical and mechanical features to control hematopoiesis. Reproducing the human bone marrow niche is instrumental to answer the growing demand for human erythrocytes and platelets for fundamental studies and clinical applications in transfusion medicine. In this review, we discuss the latest culture techniques and technological approaches to obtain functional platelets and erythrocytes ex vivo. This is a rapidly evolving field that will define the future of targeted therapies for thrombocytopenia and anemia, but also a long-term promise for new approaches to the understanding and cure of hematologic diseases.
