The electroreduction of nitrate has emerged as a promising global strategy for water purification in the face of harmful nitrate in wastewater. However, the usually low concentration of nitrate in wastewater poses a great challenge to this process, thus necessitating more in-depth studies to optimize its efficiency. This perspective article briefly explores the various electrochemical pathways of nitrate reduction, including the conversion of nitrate to ammonia, the conversion of nitrate to dinitrogen, and the C-N coupled reduction process.

Thermo-responsive polymer is becoming a potential water purification and water harvesting material. To clarify the water diffusion characteristics, the desorption ratio of liquid water and water vapor for a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) was researched by the multi-scale method. Firstly, macro and micro structures for the hydrogel with different water content were characterized. Second, the dynamic moisture preserving status of the hydrogel during the desorption process were tested. Thirdly, the dynamic liquid-vapor desorption rate was quantified.

The article presents PI4AD, a computational medicine framework that integrates multi-omics data, systems biology, and artificial neural networks to prioritize therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD). PI4AD recovers clinically validated targets like APP and ESR1, confirming its prioritization efficacy. The framework identifies Ras signaling as a central therapeutic hub, complementing traditional amyloid/tau-focused approaches. Crosstalk analysis reveals critical nodal genes (e.g., HRAS and MAPK1) and drug repurposing opportunities, bridging genetic insights with pathway-level biology.

The article suggest that beta-amyloid protein (Aβ) has a significant indirect effect on neurogranin (Ng) through key synaptic mediators such as SYT1 and GAP43 during the preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These findings highlight the crucial role of SYT1 and GAP43 in mediating beta-amyloid-induced synaptic dysfunction, offering potential early biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AD progression.
