TL;DR: In this article, a donor-acceptor naphthalimide derivative (NIM) with donoracceptor architecture was successfully constructed and their unique fluorescent properties were investigated, which can be used to recognize cancer cells owing to its subcellular behaviour.
Abstract: Novel naphthalimide derivatives (NIM) with donor–acceptor architecture were successfully constructed and their unique fluorescent properties were investigated. In particular, the fluorescence intensities of 4-methoxystyrene substituted NIM-1 were solvent independent and its quantum yields varied from 0.4 in toluene to 0.52 in MeOH. However, 4-(N,N-diphenylamino) styrene substituted NIM-2 and 4-nitrostyrene substituted NIM-3 exhibited low luminescence in dilute solutions but were efficiently fluorescent under conditions of molecular aggregation. NIM-2 showed strong solid fluorescence with a longer wavelength emission and larger Stokes shift. In addition, NIM-3 showed unexpected blue-green fluorescence due to the formation of fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) under mixed solution. These two cases were ascribed to the aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) effects and which can also reasonably explain the bright cellular images observed when cells were incubated with NIM-2 and NIM-3. Furthermore, compound NIM-2 can be used to recognize cancer cells owing to its subcellular behaviour.

TL;DR: The difference of a cross-homeostasis system between iron (Fe) and Zn in dealing with Zn excess in the Zn hyperaccumulator Arabidopsis halleri was uncovered and a fine-tuned Fe homeostasis mechanism in A. halleri may be responsible for Zn tolerance.
Abstract: To avoid zinc (Zn) toxicity, plants have developed a Zn homeostasis mechanism to cope with Zn excess in the surrounding soil. In this report, we uncovered the difference of a cross-homeostasis system between iron (Fe) and Zn in dealing with Zn excess in the Zn hyperaccumulator Arabidopsis halleri ssp. gemmifera and nonhyperaccumulator Arabidopsis thaliana. Arabidopsis halleri shows low expression of the Fe acquisition and deficiency response-related genes IRT1 and IRT2 compared with A. thaliana. In A. thaliana, lowering the expression of IRT1 and IRT2 through the addition of excess Fe to the medium increases Zn tolerance. Excess Zn induces significant Fe deficiency in A. thaliana and reduces Fe accumulation in shoots. By contrast, the accumulation of Fe in shoots of A. halleri was stable under various Zn treatments. Root ferric chelate reductase (FRO) activity and expression of FIT are low in A. halleri compared with A. thaliana. Overexpressing a ZIP family member IRT3 in irt1-1, rescues the Fe-deficient phenotype. A fine-tuned Fe homeostasis mechanism in A. halleri maintains optimum Fe level by Zn-regulated ZIP transporters and prevents high Zn uptake through Fe-regulated metal transporters, and in part be responsible for Zn tolerance.

TL;DR: Two lactobacillus strains were isolated from swine and poultry and showed that both strains were acid as well as bile tolerant and were able to adhere to the cultured human intestinal cell lines, such as Int-407 and Caco-2 cells, and to the intestinal epithelium cells isolated fromSwine, poultry and mouse (BALB/c).
