Summary: Research on anticancer nanomedicines has a history of over 30 years, but only a few formulations have been approved for clinical therapy. Developing nanocompartments that can selectively target points deep within malignant tissues is a promising concept, but challenges such as tumor tissue heterogeneity and low manufacturing uniformity pose obstacles to the creation of effective nanomedicines. Technological advances have improved the uniformity and efficiency of engineered nanomaterials, offering opportunities for developing more effective nanomedicines for cancer patients by combining insights of tumors and nanotechnology.

Summary: In this study, a star polycation (SPc) nanocarrier was synthesized to construct a thiamethoxam (TMX) nano-delivery system. The SPc-based delivery system promoted the cellular uptake of TMX, expanded its insecticidal target, and enhanced the cytotoxicity against Sf9 cells. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the SPc upregulated transport-related genes and altered the expression levels of death-related genes. This study enhances our understanding of the bioactivity enhancement of nano-delivery systems.

Summary: Colloidal crystal engineering with DNA has advanced to tuning crystal habits and size by separating nucleation and growth in a given crystallization process. By intentionally introducing mismatches in complementary particles, weaker binding growth particles can participate in heterogeneous growth on stronger binding seed particles, effectively eliminating secondary nucleation pathways. This approach improves crystal uniformity and enables the synthesis of core-shell colloidal crystals.

Summary: Located in an arid region, Morocco is facing water scarcity challenges. Constructed wetlands (CWs) are a suitable technology for wastewater treatment and reuse in remote rural areas. Studies showed that CWs have high removal efficiency for conventional contaminants, heavy metals, and emerging pollutants. However, microbial contamination removal is challenging and requires additional treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the fate of nano-ZnS in soils with different properties using a combination of techniques, showing the crucial role of soil properties and the faster dissolution of nano-ZnS in clayey soil. Despite the slower dissolution rate of nano-ZnS in sandy soil, the availability of Zn was found to be higher due to the ions released, highlighting the importance of considering released ions in addition to nanoparticle dissolution when studying the fate of nanoparticles in soil.

Summary: This study demonstrates the significant role played by the coating of UV-filters in determining their fate in porous media such as soils, sediments and aquifers. The deposition of nanoparticles in sand is influenced by changes in electrolyte concentration and carrier pH. Both bare ENPs and SiO2-coated ENPs are controlled by electrostatic interactions, while the high transfer rate of the hydrophobic UV-filter may be attributed to steric repulsion between the sand collector and the polysiloxane surface layer of the ENP.

Summary: This study analyzed the accumulation and uptake pathway of yttrium (Y) in Saxifraga paniculata and found that Y was distributed similarly in commercial and wild specimens, mainly in the epidermis region of the roots. Wild individuals accumulated more Y than commercial ones, and consistent colocalization of aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), Y, and cerium (Ce) was observed in all plant parts except for the hydathodes, indicating a shared translocation pathway possibly through the formation of stable organic complexes.

Summary: Inorganic contaminants released from mining activities can have a negative impact on the surrounding ecosystems. Sulfuric acid, produced after the oxidation of primary sulfide minerals in ores, plays a significant role in the release of metals. However, secondary metal sulfates can form and control the fate of metals. Thallium (Tl), for example, can be trapped by Tl-jarosite and dorallcharite, secondary minerals found in Tl-rich sulfide deposits and mining areas. The study of the long-term behavior of Tl in soils at the Jas Roux site in France has provided new insights into the biogeochemical cycle of this metal.

Summary: The Rhone River, one of the main rivers in western Europe, is characterized by distinct hydrological regimes and is facing an increase in extreme events due to the current climate crisis. To study the concentrations and fluxes of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and associated contaminants, a monitoring network called the Rhone Sediment Observatory (OSR) has been established. The main purpose of the OSR is to assess the long-term trend of contaminant concentrations and fluxes and understand their behavior during extreme events.
