Mercury (Hg) is a toxic and volatile element, which can be transported globally. Since the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric Hg concentrations have increased by 3-5 times due to human activities, resulting in elevated Hg burden in surface ecosystems. Hg that entered the ocean can transform to highly toxic mono-methylmercury (MMHg) by anaerobic bacteria, which tends to bioaccumulate and magnify...

Recently, Prof. Ruibing Chen’s team from the School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology and her collaborators developed a high throughput strategy to characterize lncRNA interacting proteins in vivo by combining tobramycin affinity purification and mass spectrometric analysis (TOBAP-MS). They used this method to investigate the protein interactome of lncRNA highly-upregulated in liver can...
