Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe. Its main characteristics are persistent respiratory symptoms and progressive airflow limitation, both of which are driven by chronic inflammation. Despite the use of maximum bronchodilation and in selected patients inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), current therapies neither halt disease progression nor prevent exacerbations and loss of lung function. Recent research has focused on developing novel anti-inflammatory agents targeting specific pathways implicated in COPD pathogenesis, ai

The increasing occurrence of microplastics and antibiotics in wastewater poses emerging challenges for biological treatment processes. Microalgal-bacterial granular sludge (MBGS) has emerged as an efficient algae-based biotechnology for wastewater treatment; however, its response to simultaneous exposure to these contaminants remains largely unexplored. Here, the effects of degradable polycaprolactone microplastics (PCL MPs) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) were evaluated at 1 mg/L during granulation and long-term operation. PCL alone caused only minor changes, whereas SMX impaired granule stability

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are a key technology for developing deep geothermal resources, yet they face significant challenges in constructing efficient thermal reservoirs within high-stress, high-strength, and low-permeability crystalline rock formations. Traditional hydraulic fracturing (HF) techniques encounter deep challenges in these environments, including excessively high fracturing pressures, limited fracture network patterns, and the risk of induced seismicity. This paper reviews the multi-scale thermal-mechanical mechanisms, fracture evolution patterns, and control strategies
