E-mail：lcui@iue.ac.cn
Article : https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.0c04292Plastics have been used in a wide variety of products because of their malleability and durability properties and low cost. However, the intense consumption and disposal of plastic products are leading to rapid accumulation of plastic debris in the environment. In addition, plastic debris surfaces can be colonized by microorganisms to form biofilms, the so-called "plastisphe...

New research progress from the Institute of Urban Environment: the response of eutrophication to typhoon events in a subtropical deep reservoir
Contacts:YAN Jun
E-mail：jyan@iue.ac.cn
Article : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2020.116470In tropical and subtropical regions, the intensity of typhoon events (also termed tropical cyclones or hurricanes) are expected to increase as a consequence of the ongoing climate changes as well as to cause economic and ecosystem functioning losses due to the strong wind and torrential rain. Deep reservoirs and lakes are typically characterized by algae-rich surface waters ...

Article : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2020.115857Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from industrial wastewater has drawn great attention due to their potential environmental toxicity, as well as their high demand for modern technologies. In 2016, a research group of Prof. Dichtel William from Cornell University reported the first permanently microporous high surface area β-CD polymer, named P-CDP (Nature, 2016). P-CDP...

New research progress from Institute of Urban Environment: Bacterial community colonization on tire microplastics in typical urban water environments and associated impacting factors
Contacts:LUO Zhuanxi
E-mail：zxluo@iue.ac.cn
Article : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114922Tire microplastics are considered one of important microplastics, which is the second largest contributor of primary microplastics to marine environment on global scale. Tire microplastics mainly derive from tires used on roads even though tires are made to be highly wear-resistant, which are very easy to enter the urban water environments with the way of atmospheric settlem...

E-mail：qshuang@iue.ac.cn
Article : https://www.doi.org/10.1080/00032719.2020.1750623Metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and atherosclerosis, are the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide. Disorders of extracellular microenvironmental signals in macrophages, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and overnutrition, can induce dysfunction of macrophages and other surrounding cells, thereby promoting the occurrence and developm...
