| 1 | Human carboxylesterases:a comprehensive review显示文摘Mammalian carboxylesterases(CEs) are key enzymes from the serine hydrolase superfamily.In the human body, two predominant carboxylesterases(CES1 and CES2) have been identified and extensively studied over the past decade. These two enzymes play crucial roles in the metabolism of a wide variety of endogenous esters, ester-containing drugs and environmental toxicants. The key roles of CES in both human health and xenobiotic metabolism arouse great interest in the discovery of potent CES modulators to regulate endobiotic metabolism or to improve the efficacy of ester drugs. This review covers the structural and catalytic features of CES, tissue distributions, biological functions, genetic polymorphisms, substrate specificities and inhibitor properties of CES1 and CES2, as well as the significance and recent progress on the discovery of CES modulators. The information presented here will help pharmacologists explore the relevance of CES to human diseases or to assign the contribution of certain CES in xenobiotic metabolism. It will also facilitate medicinal chemistry efforts to design prodrugs activated by a given CES isoform, or to develop potent and selective modulators of CES for potential biomedical applications. | Dandan Wang Liwei Zou Qiang Jin Jie Hou Guangbo Ge Ling Yang | 2018 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2018,8,5: | 14 |
| 2 | A cyclodextrin-based nanoformulation achieves co-delivery of ginsenoside Rg3 and quercetin for chemo-immunotherapy in colorectal cancer显示文摘The immune checkpoint blockade therapy has profoundly revolutionized the field of cancer immunotherapy. However, despite great promise for a variety of cancers, the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors is still low in colorectal cancer(CRC). This is mainly due to the immunosuppressive feature of the tumor microenvironment(TME). Emerging evidence reveals that certain chemotherapeutic drugs induce immunogenic cell death(ICD), demonstrating great potential for remodeling the immunosuppressive TME. In this study, the potential of ginsenoside Rg3(Rg3) as an ICD inducer against CRC cells was confirmed using in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches. The ICD efficacy of Rg3 could be significantly enhanced by quercetin(QTN) that elicited reactive oxygen species(ROS). To amelioratein vivo delivery barriers associated with chemotherapeutic drugs, a folate(FA)-targeted polyethylene glycol(PEG)-modified amphiphilic cyclodextrin nanoparticle(NP) was developed for co-encapsulation of Rg3 and QTN. The resultant nanoformulation(CD-PEG-FA.Rg3.QTN) significantly prolonged blood circulation and enhanced tumor targeting in an orthotopic CRC mouse model, resulting in the conversion of immunosuppressive TME. Furthermore, the CD-PEG-FA.Rg3.QTN achieved significantly longer survival of animals in combination with Anti-PD-L1. The study provides a promising strategy for the treatment of CRC. | Dandan Sun Yifang Zou Liu Song Shulan Han Hao Yang Di Chu Yun Dai Jie Ma Caitriona M.O’Driscoll Zhuo Yu Jianfeng Guo | 2022 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2022,12,1: | 8 |

| 4 | Genome-wide prediction for hybrids between parents with distinguished difference on exotic introgressions in Brassica napus显示文摘Extensive exotic introgression could significantly enlarge the genetic distance of hybrid parental populations to promote strong heterosis.The goal of this study was to investigate whether genome-wide prediction can support pre-breeding in populations with exotic introgressions.We evaluated seed yield,seed yield related traits and seed quality traits of 363 hybrids of Brassica napus (AACC) derived from two parental populations divergent on massive exotic introgression of related species in three environments.The hybrids presented strong heterosis on seed yield,which was much higher than other investigated traits.Five genomic best linear unbiased prediction models considering the exotic introgression and different marker effects (additive,dominance,and epistatic effects) were constructed to test the prediction ability for different traits of the hybrids.The analysis showed that the trait complexity,exotic introgression,genetic relationship between the training set and testing set,training set size,and environments affected the prediction ability.The models with best prediction ability for different traits varied.However,relatively high prediction ability (e.g.,0.728 for seed yield) was also observed when the simplest models were used,excluding the effects of the special exotic introgression and epistasis effect by5-fold cross validation,which would simplify the prediction for the trait with complex architecture for hybrids with exotic introgression.The results provide novel insights and strategies for genome-wide prediction of hybrids between genetically distinct parent groups with exotic introgressions. | Dandan Hu Yusheng Zhao Jinxiong Shen Xiangxiang He Yikai Zhang Yong Jiang Rod Snowdon Jinling Meng Jochen C.Reif Jun Zou | 2021 | The Crop Journal2021,9,5: | 2 |
| 5 | Ploidy level and performance in meiotic gynogenetic offsprings of grass carp using UV-irradiated blunt snout bream sperm显示文摘Diploid(2n)gynogens,triploid(3n)hybrids and 2n hybrids fish were produced in meiotic gynogenetic offsprings of grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella)eggs using UV-irradiated blunt snout bream(Megalobrama amblycephala)sperm.Flow cytometry revealed that a total of 306(54.2%)2n gynogens,157(27.7%)2n hybrids and 102(18.1%)3n hybrids were identified at one year old stage examined.Chromosome analysis showed that 2n gynogens and 2n hybrid individuals had the same chromosome number as their parents(2n¼48),while the chromosome number of 3n hybrids was 3n¼72.The morphological characters of 2n hybrids and 3n hybrids were intermediate between their parents,and the 2n gynogens were similar to grass carp.Microsatellite genetic analysis showed that the expected heterozygosity(He)of 2n gynogens,2n hybrids,3n hybrids and grass carp control were 0.3775,0.6518,0.6601,0.6502,respectively,and the polymorphism information content(PIC)was 0.3791,0.5749,0.5907,0.5738,respectively.Compared with 2n and 3n hybrids,the He and PIC of 2n gynogens were significantly decreased,indicating that high homozygous could be obtained by the gynogenetic method.The 3n hybrids grew faster than both 2n gynogens and 2n hybrid individuals,suggesting that 3n hybrids had an obvious growth advantage. | Guodong Zheng Chenglong Wang Dandan Guo Xiayun Jiang Shuming Zou | 2017 | Aquaculture and Fisheries2017,2,5: | 2 |

| 7 | Sensing carboxylesterase 1 in living systems by a practical and isoformspecific fluorescent probe显示文摘Carboxylesterase 1(CES1), one of the most abundant serine hydrolases in mammals, has drawn much attentions in recent years, owing to this enzyme involves in many physiological processes via hydrolysis of both endogenous esters and xenobiotic esters. Herein, to real-time monitor the activities of CES1 in various biological systems, a practical and iso form-specific fluorescent probe was developed on the basis of the substrate preference of CES1, as well as the structural and optical properties of BODIPY dyes. After screening of a panel of BODIPY ester derivatives, probe 1 displayed the best combination of specificity,sensitivity, enzymatic kinetics and applicability for monitoring CES1 activities in real samples. This probe was successfully used to detect CESl activities in several biological systems including tissue preparations,living cells, tissue slices and zebrafish. Furthermore, the biomedical applications of probe 1 for screening of CES1 inhibitors were also demonstrated using tissue preparations or living cells as enzyme sources. In summary, a practical and broadly applicable tool for real-time monitoring CES1 in biological systems was developed and well-characterized, which held great promise for further investigations on CES1-associated drug discovery, clinical practice and fundamental research. | Lele Ding Zhenhao Tian Jie Hou Tongyi Dou Qiang Jin Dandan Wang Liwei Zou Yadi Zhu Yunqing Song Jingnan Cui Guangbo Ge | 2019 | Chinese Chemical Letters2019,30,3: | 2 |
| 8 | Defensive physiological characters of Pyropia yezoensis resistant lines to the red rot disease显示文摘To explore ef fective physiological indexes to distinguish the resistant lines and susceptible lines of Pyt hium porphyrae,the causal agent of red rot disease of Pyropia yezoensis,and establish the disease-resistance breeding strategy,we obtained and analyzed the candidate resistant and susceptible lines by population selection.Gametophytes of the candidate lines were cultured in seawater containing Pyt.porphyrae zoospores.Antioxidase activities,including superoxide dismutase(SOD),peroxidase(POD)and polyphenol oxidase(PPO),were measured and compared between the two lines before and after infection.In the resistant lines,SOD and POD activities increased and then decreased,but PPO activity rose with the prolongation of the infection time.The phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL)activities also increased and then decreased after infection,but it had significantly different expression in the two lines without pathogen attack.The synthesis rates ofβ-1,3-glucanase,and cell-wall degrading enzyme were different from each other between the two lines after infection of P yt.porphyrae.Comparison in the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the two lines showed that,the two contents varied synchronously in response to the pathogen attack.Changes of these enzymes activities or contents demonstrated that Pyr.yezoensis could resist against the pathogen of P yt.porphyrae with the antioxidant defense capacity.In addition,β-1.3-glucanase content showed extremely significant dif ference between the two lines,and the PAL had consistent expression dif ference.Therefore,phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL)andβ-1,3-glucanase can be considered as an ef fective index to distinguish susceptible line and resistant line,with which the workload of the resistant breeding could be reduced in the future. | ZOU Dandan TANG Xianghai QIU Liping MAO Yunxiang | 2020 | Journal of Oceanology and Limnology2020,38,2: | 1 |
| 9 | Single cell analysis reveals inhibition of angiogenesis attenuates the progression of heterotopic ossification in Mkx^(−/−)mice显示文摘Tendon heterotopic ossification(HO)is characterized by bone formation inside tendon tissue,which severely debilitates people in their daily life.Current therapies fail to promote functional tissue repair largely due to our limited understanding of HO pathogenesis.Here,we investigate the pathological mechanism and propose a potential treatment method for HO.Immunofluorescence assays showed that the Mohawk(MKX)expression level was decreased in human tendon HO tissue,coinciding with spontaneous HO and the upregulated expression of osteochondrogenic and angiogenic genes in the tendons of Mkx^(−/−)mice.Single-cell RNA sequencing analyses of wild-type and Mkx^(−/−)tendons identified three cell types and revealed the excessive activation of osteochondrogenic genes during the tenogenesis of Mkx^(−/−)tendon cells.Single-cell analysis revealed that the gene expression program of angiogenesis,which is strongly associated with bone formation,was activated in all cell types during HO.Moreover,inhibition of angiogenesis by the small-molecule inhibitor BIBF1120 attenuated bone formation and angiogenesis in the Achilles tendons of both Mkx mutant mice and a rat traumatic model of HO.These findings provide new insights into the cellular mechanisms of tendon HO and highlight the inhibition of angiogenesis with BIBF1120 as a potential treatment strategy for HO. | Junxin Lin Yuwei Yang Wenyan Zhou Chao Dai Xiao Chen Yuanhao Xie Shan Han Huanhuan Liu Yejun Hu Chenqi Tang Varitsara Bunpetch Dandan Zhang Yishan Chen Xiaohui Zou Di Chen Wanlu Liu Hongwei Ouyang | 2022 | Bone Research2022,10,4: | 1 |
| 10 | Sinoatrial node pacemaker cells share dominant biological properties with glutamatergic neurons显示文摘Activation of the heart normally begins in the sinoatrial node(SAN).Electrical impulses spontaneously released by SAN pacemaker cells(SANPCs)trigger the contraction of the heart.However,the cellular nature of SANPCs remains controversial.Here,we report that SANPCs exhibit glutamatergic neuron-like properties.By comparing the single-cell transcriptome of SANPCs with that of cells from primary visual cortex in mouse,we found that SANPCs co-clustered with cortical neurons.Tissue and cellular imaging confirmed that SANPCs contained key elements of glutamatergic neurotransmitter system,expressing genes encoding glutamate synthesis pathway(G/s),ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors(Grina,Gria3,Grm1 and Grm5)t and glutamate transporters(Slc17a7).SANPCs highly expressed cell markers of glutamatergic neurons(Snap25 and S/-c17a7)t whereas Gad1,a marker of GABAergic neurons,was negative.Functional studies revealed that inhibition of glutamate receptors or transporters reduced spontaneous pacing frequency of isolated SAN tissues and spontaneous Ca2+transients frequency in single SANPC.Collectively,our work suggests that SANPCs share dominant biological properties with glutamatergic neurons,and the glutamatergic neurotransmitter system may act as an intrinsic regulation module of heart rhythm,which provides a potential intervention target for pacemaker cell-associated arrhythmias. | Dandan Liang Zhigang Xue Jinfeng Xue Duanyang Xie Ke Xiong Huixing Zhou Fulei Zhang Xuling Su Guanghua Wang Qicheng Zou Yi Liu Jian Yang Honghui Ma Luying Peng Chunyu Zeng Gang Li Li Wang Yi-Han Chen | 2021 | Protein & Cell2021,12,7: | 1 |
| 11 | Rapid bioluminescence assay for monitoring rat CES1 activity and its alteration by traditional Chinese medicines显示文摘In traditional Chinese medicine herbs(TCM),including Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae(Danshen),Radix Puerariae Lobatae(Gegen),Radix Angelicae Sinensis(Danggui),and Rhizoma Chuanxiong(Chuanxiong)are widely used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and also often co-administered with Western drugs as a part of integrative medicine practice.Carboxylesterase 1(CES1)plays a pivotal role in the metabolisms of pro-drugs,Since(S)-2-(2-(6-dimethylamino)-benzothiazole)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylate(NLMe)has recently been identified by us as a selective CES1 bioluminescent sensor,we developed a rapid method using this substrate for the direct measurement of CES1 activity in rats.This bioluminescence assay was applied to determine CES1 activity in rat tissues after a two-week oral administration of each of the four herbs noted above.The results demonstrated the presence of CES1 enzyme in rat blood and all tested tissues with much higher enzyme activity in the blood,liver,kidney and heart than that in the small intestine,spleen,lung,pancreas,brain and stomach.In addition,the four herbs showed tissue-specific effects on rat CES1 expression.Based on the CES1 biodistribution and its changes after treatment in rats,the possibility that Danshen,Gegen and Danggui might alter CES1 activities in human blood and kidney should be considered.In summary,a selective and sensitive bioluminescence assay was developed to rapidly evaluate CES1 activity and the effects of orally administered TCMs in rats. | Jun Zhang Dandan Wang Liwei Zou Min Xiao Yufeng Zhang Ziwei Li Ling Yang Guangbo Ge Zhong Zuo | 2020 | Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis2020,10,3: | 1 |
| 12 | An E. coli SOS-EGFP biosensor for fast and sensitive detection of DNA damaging agents显示文摘An E. coli SOS-EGFP biosensor which expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein as a reporter protein under the control of recA gene promoter in SOS response was constructed for detection of DNA damage and evaluation of DNA damaging chemicals. The chemicals that may cause substantial DNA damage will trigger SOS response in the constructed bacterial biosensor, and then the reporter egfp gene under the control of recA promoter is stimulated to express as a fluorescent protein, allowing fast and sensitive fluorescence detection. Interestingly, this biosensor can be simultaneously applied for evaluation of genotoxicity and cytotoxicity. The SOS-EGFP bacterial biosensor provides a sensitive, specific and simple method for detecting known and potential DNA damaging chemicals. | Zhilan Chen Meiling Lu Dandan Zou Hailin Wang | 2012 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2012,24,3: | 1 |

| 14 | Glutamate drives local Ca^(2+)release'in cardiac pacemaker cells显示文摘The sinoatrial node(SAN)is the origin of the electrical signals for rhythmic heartbeats in mammals.The spontaneous fring of SAN pacemaker cells(SANPCS)triggers cardiac contraction.'Local Ca^(2+)release'(LCR),a unique cellular activity,acts as the'engine'of the spontaneous fring of SANPCs.However,the mechanism of LCR initiation remains unclear.Here,we report that endogenous glutamate drives LCRs in SANPCs.Using a glutamate sensor,we unraveled a tight correlation between glutamate accumulation and LCR occurrence,indicating a potential relationship between glutamate and LCRs.Intracellular application of glutamate significantly enhanced the LCRs in both intact and permeabilized SANPCs.Mechanitically,we revealed that mitochondrial excitatory amino acid transporter 1(EAAT 1)-dependent mitochondrial glutamate import promoted ROS generation,which in turn led to the oxidation of Ca^(2+)-handling proteins,ultimately resulting in enhanced LCRs.Importantly,EAAT1 depletion reduced both the spontaneous fring rates of isolated SANPCs and the heart rate in vitro and in vivo,suggesting the central role of EAAT1 as a glutamate transporter in the regulation of cardiac autonomic rhythm.In conclusion,our results indicate that glutamate serves as an LCR igniter in SANPCs,adding a potentially important element to the coupled clock theory that explains the origin of spontaneous firing.These findings shed new light on the future prevention and treatment of cardiac pacemaker cell-related arrhythmias. | Duanyang Xie Ke Xiong Xuling Su Guanghua Wang Qicheng Zou Luxin Wang Caihong Zhang Yuting Cao Beihua Shao Yixin Zhang Peidong Zhang Dandan Liang Yi Liu Yi-Han Chen | 2022 | Cell Research2022,32,9: | 0 |
| 15 | Premature aging of skeletal stem/progenitor cells rather than osteoblasts causes bone loss with decreased mechanosensation显示文摘A distinct population of skeletal stem/progenitor cells(SSPCs)has been identified that is indispensable for the maintenance and remodeling of the adult skeleton.However,the cell types that are responsible for age-related bone loss and the characteristic changes in these cells during aging remain to be determined.Here,we established models of premature aging by conditional depletion of Zmpste24(Z24)in mice and found that Prx1-dependent Z24 deletion,but not Osx-dependent Z24 deletion,caused significant bone loss.However,Acan-associated Z24 depletion caused only trabecular bone loss.Single-cell RNA sequencing(sc RNA-seq)revealed that two populations of SSPCs,one that differentiates into trabecular bone cells and another that differentiates into cortical bone cells,were significantly decreased in Prx1-Cre;Z24^(f/f)mice.Both premature SSPC populations exhibited apoptotic signaling pathway activation and decreased mechanosensation.Physical exercise reversed the effects of Z24depletion on cellular apoptosis,extracellular matrix expression and bone mass.This study identified two populations of SSPCs that are responsible for premature aging-related bone loss.The impairment of mechanosensation in Z24-deficient SSPCs provides new insight into how physical exercise can be used to prevent bone aging. | Ruici Yang Dandan Cao Jinlong Suo Lingli Zhang Chunyang Mo Miaomiao Wang Ningning Niu Rui Yue Weiguo Zou | 2023 | Bone Research2023,11,3: | 0 |

| 17 | Detection of Endocrine Disruptors in Water around Landfills显示文摘[Objectives]This study was conducted to explore the occurrence levels of endocrine disruptors(EDCs)in rural areas around a county landfill in Tongren City.[Methods]The water around the landfill was sampled and analyzed.A solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(SPE-UPLC-MS/MS)method was established for the determination of 27 EDCs.After the HLB solid-phase extraction column was activated,a water sample,which was adjusted with phosphoric acid to a pH of 2(±0.5)and added with 500 mg of disodium EDTA,was loaded,and 5 ml of water and 20%methanol water was added for washing.Next,10 ml of elution solution was added for elution,and the collected eluate was evaporated under reduced pressure at 40℃to near dryness,and 1 ml of reconstitution solution was added to a constant volume.An ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18(100×2.1 mm,2.6μm)chromatographic column was adopted for LC separation by gradient elution with pure water solution-acetonitrile as the mobile phase.For MS detection,the MRM mode was adopted for collection,and the positive and negative ion modes were switched for simultaneous determination,and the internal standard method was used for quantification.[Results]The correlation coefficient R2 was greater than 0.99 in the linear range of each target substance.The limits of quantitation in the method were between 0.05 and 2.00 ng/L,and the recoveries ranged from 75.3%to 105.7%.[Conclusions]The method has high sensitivity,good accuracy and strong practical value. | Dandan LIU Qing LI Yaohong LIU Sha FENG Tao MO Zheng LIU Xiaonan ZOU | 2024 | Agricultural Biotechnology2024,13,1: | 0 |
| 18 | Screening the effective components in treating dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome and elucidating the potential mechanism of Poria water extract显示文摘Poria is an important medicine for inducing diuresis to drain dampness from the middle energizer.However,the specific effective components and the potential mechanism of Poria remain largely unknown.To identify the effective components and the mechanism of Poria water extract(PWE)to treat dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome(DSSD),a rat model of DSSD was established through weight-loaded forced swimming,intragastric ice-water stimulation,humid living environment,and alternate-day fasting for 21 days.After 14 days of treatment with PWE,the results indicated that PWE increased fecal moisture percentage,urine output,D-xylose level and weight;amylase,albumin,and total protein levels;and the swimming time of rats with DSSD to different extents.Eleven highly related components were screened out using the spectrum-effect relationship and LC-MS.Mechanistic studies revealed that PWE significantly increased the expression of serum motilin(MTL),gastrin(GAS),ADCY5/6,p-PKAα/β/γcat,and phosphorylated cAMP-response element binding protein in the stomach,and AQP3 expression in the colon.Moreover,it decreased the levels of serum ADH,the expression of AQP3 and AQP4 in the stomach,AQP1 and AQP3 in the duodenum,and AQP4 in the colon.PWE induced diuresis to drain dampness in rats with DSSD.Eleven main effective components were identified in PWE.They exerted therapeutic effect by regulating the AC-cAMP-AQP signaling pathway in the stomach,MTL and GAS levels in the serum,AQP1 and AQP3 expression in the duodenum,and AQP3 and AQP4 expression in the colon. | LI Huijun ZHANG Dandan WANG Tianhe LUO Xinyao XIA Heyuan PAN Xiang HAN Sijie YOU Pengtao WEI Qiong LIU Dan ZOU Zhongmei YE Xiaochuan | 2023 | Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines2023,21,2: | 0 |
| 19 | Engineered SNAP-MBD2b proteins for specific recognition of methylated DNA显示文摘Methyl-CpG-binding domain(MBD)proteins can specifically recognize and bind methylated CpG sites of DNA,thus repress gene transcription.In this study,we designed and expressed two recombinant proteins,MBD2b and SNAP-MBD2b,in E.coli.An optimized protocol was developed to purify the proteins using Ni-NTA affinity cartridge and cation exchange resin.The engineered proteins purified by this method exhibited more than 93%purity and high binding avidity.We found that both SNAP-MBD2b and MBD2b were prone to aggregate during dialysis.However,this could be prevented by the use of 0.3 mol/L NaCl.The fusion of SNAP-tag with MBD2b significantly enhanced the expression of MBD2b protein in E.coli and reduced the adsorption of MBD2b on solid interfaces involved in protein purification and immobilization.The engineered proteins can be used for the study of interaction with methylated DNA and the assays for DNA methylation. | ZOU DanDan WANG XiaoLi CHEN ZhiLan ZHANG DaPeng WANG HaiLin | 2014 | Science China Chemistry2014,57,7: | 0 |
| 20 | Lanthanum promoting bone formation by regulating osteogenesis,osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis显示文摘With lanthanum(La) in agriculture, medicine, and the chemical industry, La shows accumulation in the body, especially in the bone, because of its similar structure to calcium. Moreover, La has a direct role in bone formation regulating osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Nevertheless, bone formation is complex under the regulation of osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis in the bone microenvironment. It is difficult to comprehensively understand the regulation of bone homeostasis from a single kind of cell.Herein, some bone microenvironment-related cells and mouse calvaria culture models were used to study the regulatory effect of La-based compound-lanthanum nitrate(La(NO_(3))_(3)) on bone formation.La(NO_(3))_(3) has good biological safety, and the osteogenic differentiation is significantly increased under La(NO_(3))_(3) treatment for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSC). In contrast, the differentiation,maturation, and bone erosion ability of osteoclasts are significantly decreased. Meanwhile, the angiogenesis ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) is significantly promoted when treated with La(NO_(3))_(3). Furthermore, bone metabolism and angiogenesis are improved under La(NO_(3))_(3) treatment in the calvaria ex vivo culture model and BMMSC-HUVEC co-culture system. These results suggest that La has the beneficial effect of promoting bone metabolism and improving bone formation in the bone microenvironment. | Dandan Zou Runlian Lin Yu Han Juan Jia Guoqiang Zhou Haisong Zhang Kun Ge | 2024 | Journal of Rare Earths2024,42,3: | 0 |
