In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis of microbial communities across nine datasets from bioreactors operated under varied conditions. Null model-based analysis indicated that stochastic processes predominantly govern community assembly during contaminant-free selection phases or stable operation. In contrast, deterministic processes consistently govern initial acclimation of activated sludge. These processes then shift toward stochastic dominance as the operation stabilizes. The presence of environmental disturbances—such as shock, refeeding, or stress—during operation increases the relative contribution of deterministic processes to community structuring. Notably, low bioreactor performance is associated with deterministic assembly, whereas sustained stable operation corresponds to stochastic dynamics, irrespective of reactor type or condition. These findings were integrated across four categories of biotreatment operations to illustrate how specific disturbances influence microbial community succession and performance stability. This work advances the theoretical understanding of microbial dynamics in engineered systems and offers practical insights into linking community assembly mechanisms with bioreactor function.","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144677534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review explores the pathogenesis of IVDD mediated by NPC senescence, summarizes recent advances in biological therapy, and highlights the latest developments in antisenescent biomaterials. These biomaterials have the potential to delay disc degeneration by clearing senescent cells, inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation, activating autophagy, and modulating the acidic microenvironment of the disc.

Although developing conjugation inhibitors to block this process is a promising strategy, current options are limited by toxicity and poor in vivo efficacy. This study evaluated the effect of cinnamic acid (CA; 3-phenyl-2-acrylic acid), a widely abundant food additive found in cinnamon, on plasmid conjugation. CA effectively inhibited the conjugation of various resistance plasmids in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that CA disrupts the electron transport chain (ETC) and proton motive force (PMF) by inhibiting the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, leading to reduced intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—a critical factor for plasmid conjugation. Biocompatibility assays showed that CA maintains high biosafety while preserving gut microbiota homeostasis. Therefore, these findings provide new insights into ARG inhibition and highlight the potential of CA as a novel strategy to combat the global rise in antibiotic-resistant infections.","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144645502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the configuration designed by the Chinese partners, the air reactor (AR) is a transport bed, while the fuel reactor (FR) is a bubbling/turbulent fluidized bed. The solid circulation between the FR and AR is regulated by the overflow method, and the oxygen carrier (OC) from the AR cyclone returns to the FR riser. From June to September 2024, the 5-MWth demonstration unit was operated and tested more or less continuously, with a thermal input ranging from 3.5 to 5.0 MWth. During the operation, all solid fuel was fed into the dense bed of the FR, while only air was introduced into the AR. No electric or other external heating was applied, meaning that the whole pilot unit was heated by the oxidation of the OC within the AR. Hence, auto-thermal CLC operation was successfully achieved. Heating the unit was completed in 48 h; furthermore, switching to CLC mode was straightforward and took less than 1 h. During the operation, the temperature of the entire loop was stable. The temperatures of the AR and FR were 1000–1040 °C and 940–980 °C, respectively. Based on the operational data, the maximum CO2 capture efficiency of the lignite-fed CLC unit was greater than 97%, and the minimum oxygen demand for unburnt gases from the FR was 2.45%. This work bridges the gap between lab-scale research and industrial applications in the field of CLC.","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144645501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a novel method for the directional generation of chlorine radical species like ·ClO and ·Cl using electro-reactive membranes (EMs), which were fabricated using an electro-deposition coupled template approach known as RuO2@PbO2-M. This method facilitates the rapid and efficient conversion of ammonia to nitrogen and concurrently reduces the chemical oxygen demand in the effluent. Our system achieved ultra-efficient simultaneous denitrification and decarbonization with minimal energy consumption in single-filtration mode, thereby eliminating the need for chemical precursors. We elucidate the formation pathway of ·ClO and ·Cl during the electrochemical oxidation process involving RuO2@PbO2-M, where ·Cl generated from RuO2 reacts with ·OH from PbO2 under hypochlorous acid conditions, thereby enhancing nitrogen and carbon removal. These findings highlight a novel filtration model that utilizes single-channel electro-filtration and an innovative reactive membrane design for ·ClO synthesis, which provides a new research framework for the concurrent removal of nitrogen and carbon, and offers a promising solution to enhance wastewater treatment efficiency.","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144640715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although protein glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications, its evolutionary origin remains largely unexplored. Here, we performed a phylostratigraphic tracking of glycosylation machinery (GM) genes and their targets—glycosylated proteins—in a broad phylogenetic context. Our results show that the vast majority of human GM genes trace back to two evolutionary periods: the origin of all cellular organisms and the origin of all eukaryotes. This indicates that protein glycosylation is an ancient process likely common to all life, further elaborated in early eukaryotes. In contrast, human glycoproteins exhibited prominent enrichment signals in more recent evolutionary periods, suggesting an important role in the transition from metazoans to vertebrates. Focusing specifically on the N-glycosylation (NG) pathway, we noted that the majority of NG genes acting on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) trace back to the origin of cellular organisms. This sharply contrasts with the rest of the NG pathway, which is oriented toward the ER lumen, where genes of eukaryotic origin predominate. In the Golgi, we also identified an analogous binary evolutionary origin of GM genes. We discuss these findings in the context of the evolutionary emergence of the eukaryotic endomembrane system and propose that the ER evolved through the invagination of a prokaryotic cell membrane containing an NG pathway.","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144630435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research addresses these limitations by introducing an innovative vision-language model (VLM)-based human-guided mobile robot navigation approach in an unstructured environment for human-centric smart manufacturing (HSM). This approach encompasses robust Three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction through advanced point cloud techniques, zero-shot semantic segmentation via a VLM, and natural language processing through a large language model (LLM) to interpret instructions and generate control code for navigation.
