AbstractCoagulation is one of the most common treatment processes for the removal of contaminants from water, representing ‘the first line of defence’ for drinking water safety. However, the macroscopic and descriptive theories of trivalent metal-based coagulation have limited the optimization of its performance in the removal of natural organic matter species, which are major precursors of hazardous disinfection by-products.

Baicalein inhibits LEP secretion to downregulate PD-L1 expression and enhance T-cell killing effects Our previous study showed that the IC50 values for baicalein for MDA-MB-231 at 24, 48, and 72 h were 79.12/50.10/34.77 μM and for MCF-7 at 24, 48, and 72 h were 49.76/43.73/39.44 μM, respectively.17 To exclude the obvious cytotoxic effect of baicalein on cancer cells, a concentration ≤40 μM was adopted to verify PD-L1 regulation of baicalein in a tumor microenvironment.
