Overcoming Steric Hindrance for Precise Multiplexed Protein Profiling of Single Extracellular Vesicles

Multiplexed protein profiling of single extracellular vesicles (EVs) is crucial for precise liquid biopsy but is severely limited by steric hindrance arising from bulky detection probes. This study systematically deconstructs the sources and consequences of this limitation using...

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Carbon Source–Sink Dynamics in the Coastal Waters of the South Yellow Sea, China

Continental-shelf marginal seas play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. The coastal South Yellow Sea (SYS), located in an intense land–ocean interaction zone, is a key region for coastal carbon cycle research. The issue addressed in this region is that strong land–sea int...

Drimane-Pyrone-Type Meroterpenoids and Co-Isolated Compounds from the Deep-Sea Fungus Penicillium rubens MABC05 and Their Anti-Ferroptotic and Cytotoxic Activities

Ferroptosis is a critical driver of tubular necrosis, and its effective inhibition holds significant potential for mitigating renal injury. In this study, chemical investigation of the strain Penicillium rubens MABC05 yielded nine drimane-pyrone-type meroterpenoids (1–9), includi...

Seasonal environmental forcing masks thermal discharge effects on plankton communities in a subtropical coastal bay

Coastal ecosystems adjacent to nuclear power plants may be subject to thermal disturbance; however, the relative importance of seasonal environmental forcing and localized anthropogenic disturbance in shaping plankton community assembly remains poorly understood. In this study, w...

Polystyrene Microplastics Impair Intestinal Homeostasis in Juvenile Tachypleus tridentatus Through Oxidative Imbalance and Gut Microbiota Dysregulation

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous marine pollutants that pose increasing ecological risks, yet their effects on intestinal physiology and gut microbial homeostasis during the juvenile developmental stages of Tachypleus tridentatus remain unclear. In this study, fifth- and sixth-...

Stage-specific Cyanobacterial Handoffs and Heterotrophic Subsidies Underpin Biocrust Carbon Accumulation

Abstract Inoculating cyanobacteria is a widely adopted strategy to accelerate biocrust formation and restore dryland soil functions, yet the in situ mechanisms sustaining microbial biomass carbon (MBC) accumulation under seasonal stress remain poorly understood. Here, we combined...

Insights into the Versatile Sulfur Metabolism of Sulfurovum sp. MH2-6 Isolated from Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Environments

In deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems, inorganic sulfur compounds serve as key energy sources for microbes through oxidation, reduction, or disproportionation reactions. However, to date, the bacteria that disproportionate sulfur remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized the...

Anomalies of NetPrimary Productivity under CompoundMarine Heatwaves and Microplastics

Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHW) and microplastics (MPs) pollution increasingly co-occur, yet the response of phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) to this compound condition remains incompletely characterized, in part because analyses confined to local conditions may overloo...
