Transformations of 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone in soil under redox-driven conditions: Kinetics, product identification, and environmental implications by Dahang Shen, Qingyang Shi, Jingjing Zhang, Nathan D. Sy, Rebecca Yates, Wei Wang, Jay Gan

“…In anaerobic soils, 6PPD persisted substantially longer (average half-life 51.4 d) than in aerobic soils (0.7–1.5 d), indicating that submerged soil or sediment compartments may serve as a more important secondary source. The degradation of 6PPD-Q in soils was mediated by microorganisms, with half-lives (13.5–14.2 d) longer than those of 6PPD under aerobic conditions. …”

A proteotranscriptomic approach to dissect the molecular landscape of human retinoblastoma by Julian Wolf, Rozina Ida Hajdu, Stefaniya Boneva, Ira Godbole, Lucas Stürzbecher, Claudia Auw-Haedrich, Wolf A. Lagrèze, Hansjürgen Agostini, Thomas Reinhard, Stefan Tholen, Oliver Schilling, Günther Schlunck, Bertram Bengsch, Clemens Lange

“…The spatially resolved cellular landscape was assessed using Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC).ResultsThe correlation between RNA and protein level was moderate with variations across different pathways, underscoring the value of an integrated proteotranscriptomic approach. IMC identified more than 67,000 single cells in 11 distinct clusters, including antigen presenting cells, T cells, stroma cells, vascular cells and two clusters of proliferating and CD44/c-Myc positive tumor cells. …”
