Summary: In this study, a simple, green, and environmentally friendly strategy using biochar loaded with self-emulsifying orange peel essential oil (BC/SE-OPEO) was proposed to efficiently adsorb and degrade the aromatic amine p-phenylenediamine (PPD). The results showed that the PPD removal efficiency of 50 mg BC/SE-OPEO reached 98% after 110 min at 40 °C. Mechanistic investigations revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) played a vital role in the degradation of PPD, which was eventually degraded to carbon dioxide and water.

Summary: In this study, the authors used Reactive Molecular Dynamics (RMD) simulation to investigate the detoxification pathways of the mycotoxin DON induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). It was found that ROS can modify toxicologically important functional groups of DON through various reactions, reducing its toxicity and providing theoretical understanding for plasma degradation of mycotoxins in the future.

Summary: Titanium and Titanium alloys are widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery as biomedical implants. However, in specific clinical populations, the failure rate of these implants is higher. Studies show that the presence of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) increases in the bone tissue surrounding the implants, leading to oxidative stress in the host. Developing antibacterial technologies, incorporating active elements, and creating ROS-responsive implant materials are important areas of research.

Summary: This study demonstrates the oxidative decomposition of polystyrene (PS) in the gut of superworms and reveals its effect on plastic metabolism. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were found to be generated extensively in the larva gut, and PS consumption led to a significant increase in ROS. Further investigation suggested that the oxidative depolymerization of PS was caused by the combinatorial effect of ROS and extracellular oxidases of gut microbes. This work provides new insights into the underlying biochemical mechanisms of plastic degradation in the gut.

Summary: Understanding the microbial degradation of biochar-adsorbed organic pollutants is crucial for improving the adsorption performance of biochars and reducing secondary pollution in soil remediation. This study investigated the degradation of non-desorbable organic compounds on a specific wood chip-derived biochar by a specific bacterium. The results showed significant microbial degradation of the non-desorbable compounds, which could be attributed to the presence of extracellular •OH in the bacterial fluid. This study provides new insight into the microbial degradation of biochar-adsorbed organic pollutants in soil remediation.

Summary: This study reveals that persistent generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved in the self-degradation of few-layer black phosphorus (FLBP) even in the dark, and the patterns and mechanism of ROS generation are revealed. The ability of FLBP to remove rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) under dark conditions further indicates the generation of ROS during FLBP self-degradation. This work provides new insights into the self-degradation mechanism of FLBP and opens opportunities for practical applications.

Summary: To reduce the disability rate of joint diseases, artificial joints can be used, but late-stage joint loosening limits their lifespan and surgical efficacy. In this study, platinum (Pt) nanozymes with excellent ROS scavenging and anti-inflammatory capabilities were encapsulated in zinc imidazolium zeolite framework-8 (ZIF-8), and lanthanum (La) was introduced through ion exchange to construct a bimetallic metal-organic framework (Pt@ZIF-8@ La). In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that this multifunctional nanoplatform efficiently scavenged ROS, regulated immune response, and promoted osteogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, Pt@ZIF-8@La also upregulated the OPG/RANKL ratio to promote osteogenic mineralization, achieving a synergistic therapeutic effect of immunomodulation and osteogenesis for relieving aseptic osteolysis.

Summary: As an emerging advanced oxidation technology, UV/PAA shows great potential in removing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in wastewater treatment. The study investigated the degradation effects and PAA activation mechanisms by UV irradiation on ibuprofen, and found that the UV/PAA process exhibited excellent degradation efficiency and a synergistic effect between UV and PAA. The study also identified the reactive oxygen species involved in the degradation and analyzed the intermediates produced during the process.

Summary: Researchers developed a new nanodrug delivery system (PN) to increase ROS production by degrading the NQO1 protein, leading to enhanced anti-tumor effects. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that PN significantly increased ROS production and exhibited potent antitumor properties. This nanoplatform might provide an alternative approach for treating tumors with NQO1 overexpression.

Summary: Pathogens encounter various antimicrobial responses during infection, including the ROS burst. The toxic 4-HNE impacts the growth and survival of bacteria, with Listeria monocytogenes inducing gene expression in response to 4-HNE exposure. While Rha1 and Rha2 are not essential for 4-HNE resistance in L. monocytogenes, they can confer resistance to sensitive bacteria in vitro and in host cells.
