A recent surprising discovery of the activity of rare earth metals (lanthanides) as enzyme cofactors as well as transcriptional regulators has overturned the traditional assumption of biological inertia of these metals. However, so far, examples of such activities have been
Phosphorus reduction from wastewater is vital to mitigate eutrophication of receiving waters. In this study, discarded lignocellulose biochar loaded with lanthanum (defined as La-biochar) was applied for phosphate adsorption. Based on the design of response surface methodology, La-biochar displayed a

Signalling events mediated by connexins and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) have important roles in bystander effects induced by ionising radiation. However, whether these proteins mediate bystander effects independently or cooperatively has not been investigated. Bystander normal human fibroblasts were cocultured with irradiated

Addition of 1.0 mM LaCl(3) to aqueous ammonium acetate solutions containing proteins in their folded native forms can result in a significant increase in the molecular ion charging obtained with electrospray ionization as a result of cation adduction. In combination

Ferro-cyanide is one of the commonly found species at cyanide-contaminated soils and groundwater. Unlike botanical metabolism of KCN via the β-cyanoalanine pathway, processes involved in the plant-mediated assimilation of ferro-cyanide are still unclear. The objective of this study was to
