Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation, pannus formation, and bone and cartilage damage. The hypoxic microenvironment of RA joints can cause reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial damage, which upregulate inflammatory pathways and contribute to angiogenesis and bone destruction, thereby accelerating RA progression. This review highlights the effects of ROS accumulation and mitochondrial damage on inflammation, angiogenesis, and bone and cartilage damage in RA, as well as discusses therapeutic approaches targeting ROS or mitochondria to alleviate symptoms and the current gaps and controversies in research.

Summary: Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) is a complex illness with unknown causes. However, research from Chernobyl and the United States has shown a connection between radiation exposure and the development of CFIDS. A systems biology approach has been proposed to explain CFIDS, suggesting that ionizing radiation triggers CFIDS through processes like UVA induction and biophoton generation. This expanded model links CFIDS markers with low-dose radiation exposure and subsequent effects, including the involvement of melanoma and hematopoietic dysregulation. The identification of this association opens up new treatment options in fields like dermatology, hematology, and oncology.

Summary: This study introduces a targeted treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using folic acid-modified triangular DNA origami nanostructures (FA-tDONs). The FA-tDONs can efficiently scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), leading to the transition of pro-inflammatory macrophages to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. In an RA mouse model, FA-tDONs treatment effectively alleviates synovial inflammation and cartilage damage, attenuating disease progression.

Summary: Recent studies have found that mitochondrial transfer between cells can impact cellular and tissue homeostasis. While most previous research focused on the transfer of functional mitochondria to cells with damaged networks, this study reveals that dysfunctional mitochondria can also be transferred between cells with functioning networks. The transfer of dysfunctional macrophage mitochondria to cancer cells leads to an accumulation of reactive oxygen species, activating signaling pathways that promote cancer cell proliferation. These findings provide insights into how transferred mitochondria can drive sustained behavioral changes in recipient cells.

Summary: In this study, three types of red-emissive carbon dots (RCDs) were successfully prepared with maximum emission at approximately 680 nm. The RCDs exhibited adjustable generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through type I and type II photodynamic therapy (PDT). The unique ROS formation of RCDs was determined by their core sizes and surface states, and they were able to induce cell programmed death via activating mitochondrion-mediated apoptotic pathways. This work provides a new prospect for RCDs as nanophotosensitizers to overcome the limitations of single type PDT.

Summary: In this study, a novel iron-encapsulated biochar (Fe@BC) was prepared using a biomass cultivated with an iron-containing solution. The Fe@BC showed a phase change in the iron species and formed a graphene shell on the surface. The Fe@BC exhibited excellent performance in the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol. Reactive oxygen radicals were found in the Fe@BC/PDS system, and micro-electrolysis facilitated the generation of radical species. Density functional theory revealed the catalytic active sites on the graphene shell of Fe@BC. The iron species of CFe15.1 were more favorable for the generation of reactive oxygen species than alpha-Fe.

Summary: This article discusses an energy harvesting cooperative network with two data sources and one relay, where nodes transmit based on a slotted Aloha protocol in a random access environment. By optimizing an equal-weight linear aggregation of QoS metrics, the relay shares energy between the two sources to improve throughput and average transmission delay (ATD), modeling the problem as an exact potential game. The proposed cooperative relaying strategy ensures better QoS for each source compared to without relay, as shown through numerical results.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.
