Development of environment-friendly and efficient aquaculture effluent treatment system is crucial for sustainable intensification of aquaculture, in the face of the rapidly increasing environmental pressure in the mariculture industry. In this study, mariculture wastewater was treated by the anoxic-anaerobic-oxic biochemical treatment system (A 2 O system) with traditional activated sludge replaced by nitrifying bacteria, den...

Pulmonary fibrosis involves destruction of the lung parenchyma and extracellular matrix deposition. Effective treatments for pulmonary fibrosis are lacking and its pathogenesis is still unclear. Studies have found that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) plays an important role in progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Thus, an in-depth exploration of its mechanism might identify new therape...
