Control Indicators for Typical Persistent Organic Pollutants in Lake Sediments by LUO Xi, XIE Xiao-jing, XU Cheng-jian, ZHANG Lu, YAN Dan, TANG Qiang

“…For SCCPs control, a threshold of 900 ng/g was first proposed for non-fishery lakes (derived from ecological risk thresholds), while lakes used for fishery purposes required dynamic adjustments based on surrounding agricultural land data. The research demonstrated three breakthroughs: (1) it established for the first time China’s control indicator system for POPs in lake sediments, filling technical gaps in standards like GB 36600—2018 for dredging projects. (2) It revealed a high spatial correlation (R2>0.85) between POPs and heavy metal pollution in Ya’er Lake, proving that dredging according to existing heavy metal standards could simultaneously control POPs risks, thereby significantly reducing remediation costs. (3) It proposed a “function-pollutant-process” integrated control theory, offering a new paradigm for composite pollution remediation. …”

Cancer-associated VEGFR2R1032Q sustains receptor activation also by promoting ligand-independent hetero-dimerization with co-expressed wild-type VEGFR2 and translocation into lipid... by Cosetta Ravelli, Michela Corsini, Roberto Bresciani, Angela M. Rizzo, Luca Zammataro, Paola A. Corsetto, Elisabetta Grillo, Stefania Mitola

“…This was associated with reduced mobility of the receptor on the membrane, linked to its translocation into detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) domains (e.g. lipid rafts), which showed alterations in lipid compositions and structure. These data shed light on a novel oncogenic mechanism of activation of VEGFR2, clarifying the paradoxical loss-of-function nature of the substitution R1032Q of VEGFR2.…”
