Bioenergetic programs of cancellous and cortical bone are distinct and differ with age and mechanical loading by Carolyn Chlebek, Tyler J. McNeill, Muyin Huang, Maia S. Raynor, Marjolein C. H. van der Meulen

“…To evaluate load-induced changes to bioenergetic activity in young and adult animals, we loaded the tibia of 10-wk and 26-wk female C57BL/6J mice and examined transcriptomic responses at the mid-diaphysis, and metaphyseal cortical shell and cancellous core. Across all biological processes, oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial pathways were most often enriched with loading and had contrasting enrichment in young and adult animals. …”

Effects of biochar on the contents of potassium and phosphorus, and their leaching rates in red soil under simulated leaching condition by ZHU Pan, YING Jieguan, PENG Shu’ang, JIANG Cuncang

“…As the mineral resource reserve declined for both P and K, the increasing demand for phosphorus-potassium fertilizer from global food production caused imbalance between supply and demand. As a result, the cost of agricultural production increased, and economic benefits reduced, along with increasing environmental risks. …”
