Simultaneous dual-channel fluorescent probe for Cys and ONOO− enables rapid monitoring of dynamic redox balance changes during ferroptosis by Jiali Zhu, Nan Pan, Xiongbo Liu, Hao Hu, Wei Zhang, Yan Feng, Chunman Jia

“…Ferroptosis is a programmed cell death process caused by the accumulation of intracellular lipid peroxides due to disorders of iron metabolism and redox imbalance. Currently, its specific molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated, therefore detecting the changes in the dynamic balance of intracellular redox is of great significance for revealing this mechanism. …”

From Imbalance to Synergy: The Coupling Coordination of Digital Inclusive Finance and Urban Ecological Resilience in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by Xi Chen, Xuan Huang, Tonghui Yu, Yu Zhang, Xufeng Cui

“…The results show that (1) The CCD between DIF and UER in the YREB has increased annually from 2011 to 2020. However, there are persistent imbalances, with an overall low level of coordination and uneven spatial development, and a trend of “higher coordination in the east and lower coordination in the west”. (2) The overall CCD of the YREB has reached at least the primary coordination level, with the coupling enhancement speed ranked as “downstream > midstream > upstream”, and regional differences decreasing. (3) The decoupling analysis reveals a predominant decoupling trend between DIF and UER, indicating that the digitization of financial services has not concurrently increased ecological pressures. (4) The obstacle degree analysis identifies resilience and digitalization as major barriers hindering CCD. …”

Optimizing Green Spaces Significantly Improves Wind Environment and Accessibility in County Towns by Dan-Yin Zhang, Ling Yang, Li-Yi Feng, Jiang Liu, Xin-Chen Hong

“…The results show the following: (1) Under the vegetation ratio of trees–shrubs–herbaceous plants, the ventilation performance of the urban wind environment improved at a daily wind speed of 5 m/s. The wind speed increased from the current low base speed (0–1 m/s) to a moderate speed (2–5 m/s), significantly enhancing the comfort of the population. (2) Under the vegetation ratio of trees–shrubs–herbaceous plants, the overall disaster-prevention performance of the county improved. …”
