Abstract
Bevacizumab is a common strategy for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Survival status is a crucial issue for patients with recurrent glioblastoma, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the lower Gaussian curve have been reported to have the potential to predict prognosis in recurrent glioblastoma. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the survival prediction of ADC values in patients with recurrent glioblastoma receiving bevacizumab treatment through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials, comparing ADC values higher than the cut-off values with those lower than the cut-off values to determine which type of ADC values can be associated with significant survival benefits. Different survival indicators were analyzed, including overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Ten studies with a total of 782 patients with recurrent glioblastoma were included. The focused outcomes were OS and PFS. Our results showed that ADC values lower than the cut-off values were associated with significant benefits for OS status compared with ADC values higher than the cut-off values. Similar significant benefits were observed for PFS. The meta-analysis results suggest that ADC values lower than the cut-off values might be associated with significant benefits for OS and PFS when compared with ADC values higher than the cut-off values. However, bias in relation to the different stages of recurrent glioblastoma and different types, doses, and regimens of bevacizumab should not be ignored.

Abstract
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), a group of promising integrated systems that combine the advantages of biotechnology and electrochemical techniques, offer new opportunities to address environmental and energy challenges. Exoelectrogens capable of extracellular electron transfer (EET) are the critical factor enabling electrocatalytic activity in BESs. Pseudomonas putida, an aerobe widely used in environmental bioremediation, the biosynthesis of valuable chemicals, and energy bioproduction, has attracted much attention due to its unique application potential in BESs. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the working principles, key factors, and applications of BESs using P. putida as the exoelectrogen. The challenges and perspectives for the development of BESs with P. putida as the exoelectrogen are also proposed and discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR), fueled by clean and renewable energy, presents a promising method for utilizing CO2 effectively. The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO using a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) has shown great potential for industrial applications due to its high reaction rate and selectivity. However, guaranteeing its long-term stability still poses a significant challenge. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into various strategies to enhance the stability of the GDE. These strategies involved modifying the structure of the substrate, such as the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the back side of the GDL (macroporous layer side). Additionally, we explored modifications to the catalyst layer (CL) and the front of the CL. To address these stability concerns, we proposed a practical approach that involved surface coating using carbon black in combination with in situ cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles on Ag/Ag300/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The partial Faradaic efficiency exceeded 80 % within a span of 70 h. Electron microscopy and electrochemical characterization revealed that the implementation of in situ CV led to a reduction in catalyst particle size and the formation of a porous surface structure. By enhancing the stability of the GDE, this research opens up possibilities for the advancement of hybrid systems that focus on the production and utilization of syngas.

Abstract
The excessive consumption of fossil fuels causes massive emission of CO2, leading to climate deterioration and environmental pollution. The development of substitutes and sustainable energy sources to replace fossil fuels has become a worldwide priority. Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs), employing redox reactions of electroactive microorganisms (EAMs) on electrodes to achieve a meritorious combination of biocatalysis and electrocatalysis, provide a green and sustainable alternative approach for bioremediation, CO2 fixation, and energy and chemicals production. EAMs, including exoelectrogens and electrotrophs, perform extracellular electron transfer (EET) (i.e., outward and inward EET), respectively, to exchange energy with the environment, whose rate determines the efficiency and performance of BESs. Therefore, we review the synthetic biology strategies developed in the last decade for engineering EAMs to enhance the EET rate in cell-electrode interfaces for facilitating the production of electricity energy and value-added chemicals, which include (1) progress in genetic manipulation and editing tools to achieve the efficient regulation of gene expression, knockout, and knockdown of EAMs; (2) synthetic biological engineering strategies to enhance the outward EET of exoelectrogens to anodes for electricity power production and anodic electro-fermentation (AEF) for chemicals production, including (i) broadening and strengthening substrate utilization, (ii) increasing the intracellular releasable reducing equivalents, (iii) optimizing c-type cytochrome (c-Cyts) expression and maturation, (iv) enhancing conductive nanowire biosynthesis and modification, (v) promoting electron shuttle biosynthesis, secretion, and immobilization, (vi) engineering global regulators to promote EET rate, (vii) facilitating biofilm formation, and (viii) constructing cell-material hybrids; (3) the mechanisms of inward EET, CO2 fixation pathway, and engineering strategies for improving the inward EET of electrotrophic cells for CO2 reduction and chemical production, including (i) programming metabolic pathways of electrotrophs, (ii) rewiring bioelectrical circuits for enhancing inward EET, and (iii) constructing microbial (photo)electrosynthesis by cell-material hybridization; (4) perspectives on future challenges and opportunities for engineering EET to develop highly efficient BESs for sustainable energy and chemical production. We expect that this review will provide a theoretical basis for the future development of BESs in energy harvesting, CO2 fixation, and chemical synthesis.

Abstract
A recycled-gas closed-circuit culture system was developed for safe autotrophic cultivation of a hydrogen-oxidizing, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-producing Ralstonia eutropha, using a non-combustible gas mixture with low-concentration of H2 supplied by water electrolysis. Automated feedback regulation of gas flow enabled input of H2, CO2, and O2 well balanced with the cellular demands, leading to constant gas composition throughout the cultivation. The engineered strain of R. eutropha produced 1.71 g/L of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-12.5 mol% 3-hydroxyhexanoate) on a gas mixture of H2/CO2/O2/N2 = 4:12:7:77 vol% with a 69.2 wt% cellular content. Overexpression of can encoding cytosolic carbonic anhydrase increased the 3HHx fraction up to 19.6 mol%. The yields of biomass and PHA on input H2 were determined to be 72.9 % and 63.1 %, corresponding to 51.0 % and 44.2 % yield on electricity, respectively. The equivalent solar-to-biomass/PHA efficiencies were estimated to be 2.1-3.8 %, highlighting the high energy conversion capability of R. eutropha.

Abstract
Mineralization by MgO is an attractive potential strategy for direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 due to its tendency to form carbonate phases upon exposure to water and CO2. Hydration of MgO during this process is typically assumed to not be rate limiting, even at ambient temperatures. However, surface passivation by hydrated phases likely reduces the CO2 capture capacity. Here, we examine the initial hydration reactions that occur on MgO(100) surfaces to determine whether they could potentially impact CO2 uptake. We first used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to explore changes in reaction layers in water (pH = 6 and 12) and MgO-saturated solution (pH = 11) and found the reaction layers on MgO are heterogeneous and nonuniform. To determine how relative humidity (R.H.) affects reactivity, we reacted samples at room temperature in nominally dry N2 (∼11-12% R.H.) for up to 12 h, in humid (>95% R.H.) N2 for 5, 10, and 15 min, and in air at 33 and 75% R.H. for 8 days. X-ray reflectivity and electron microscopy analysis of the samples reveal that hydrated phases form rapidly upon exposure to humid air, but the growth of the hydrated reaction layer slows after its initial formation. Reaction layer thickness is strongly correlated with R.H., with denser reaction layers forming in 75% R.H. compared with 33% R.H. or nominally dry N2. The reaction layers are likely amorphous or poorly crystalline based on grazing incidence X-ray diffraction measurements. After exposure to 75% R.H. in air for 8 days, the reaction layer increases in density as compared to the sample reacted in humid N2 for 5-15 min. This may represent an initial step toward the crystallization of the reaction layer. Overall, high R.H. favors the formation of a hydrated, disordered layer on MgO. Based on our results, DAC in a location with a higher R.H. will be favorable, but growth may slow significantly from initial rates even on short timescales, presumably due to surface passivation.

Abstract
Extensive study on renewable energy storage has been sparked by the growing worries regarding global warming. In this study, incorporating the latest advancements in microbial electrochemistry and electrochemical CO2 reduction, a super-fast charging biohybrid battery was introduced by using pure formic acid as an energy carrier. CO2 electrolyser with a slim-catholyte layer and a solid electrolyte layer was built, which made it possible to use affordable anion exchange membranes and electrocatalysts that are readily accessible. The biohybrid battery only required a 3-minute charging to accomplish an astounding 25-hour discharging phase. In the power-to-formate-to-bioelectricity process, bioconversion played a vital role in restricting both the overall Faradaic efficiency and Energy efficiency. The CO2 electrolyser was able to operate continuously for an impressive total duration of 164 hours under Gas Stand-By model, by storing N2 gas in the extraction chamber during stand-by periods. Additionally, the electric signal generated during the discharging phase was utilized for monitoring water biotoxicity. Functional genes related to formate metabolism were identified in the bioanode and electrochemically active bacteria were discovered. On the other hand, Paracoccus was predominantly found in the used air cathode. These results advance our current knowledge of exploiting biohybrid technology.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are an important environmental issue that causes greenhouse and climate change effects on the earth. Nowadays, CO2 has various conversion methods to be a potential carbon resource, such as photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and photo-electrocatalytic. CO2 conversion into value-added products has many advantages, including facile control of the reaction rate by adjusting the applied voltage and minimal environmental pollution. The development of efficient electrocatalysts and improving their viability with appropriate reactor designs is essential for the commercialization of this environmentally friendly method. In addition, microbial electrosynthesis which utilizes an electroactive bio-film electrode as a catalyst can be considered as another option to reduce CO2. This review highlights the methods which can contribute to the increase in efficiency of carbon dioxide reduction (CO2R) processes through electrode structure with the introduction of various electrolytes such as ionic liquid, sulfate, and bicarbonate electrolytes, with the control of pH and with the control of the operating pressure and temperature of the electrolyzer. It also presents the research status, a fundamental understanding of carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) mechanisms, the development of electrochemical CO2R technologies, and challenges and opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Secondary natural products (NPs) are a rich source for drug discovery. However, the low abundance of NPs makes their extraction from nature inefficient, while chemical synthesis is challenging and unsustainable. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris are excellent manufacturing systems for the production of NPs. This Perspective discusses a comprehensive platform for sustainable production of NPs in the two yeasts through system-associated optimization at four levels: genetics, temporal controllers, productivity screening, and scalability. Additionally, it is pointed out critical metabolic building blocks in NP bioengineering can be identified through connecting multilevel data of the optimized system using deep learning.

Abstract
Electricity-driven microbial metabolism relies on the extracellular electron transfer (EET) process between microbes and electrodes and provides promise for resource recovery from wastewater and industrial discharges. Over the past decades, tremendous efforts have been dedicated to designing electrocatalysts and microbes, as well as hybrid systems to push this approach toward industrial adoption. This paper summarizes these advances in order to facilitate a better understanding of electricity-driven microbial metabolism as a sustainable waste-to-resource solution. Quantitative comparisons of microbial electrosynthesis and abiotic electrosynthesis are made, and the strategy of electrocatalyst-assisted microbial electrosynthesis is critically discussed. Nitrogen recovery processes including microbial electrochemical N2 fixation, electrocatalytic N2 reduction, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), and abiotic electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia (Abio-NRA) are systematically reviewed. Furthermore, the synchronous metabolism of carbon and nitrogen using hybrid inorganic-biological systems is discussed, including advanced physicochemical, microbial, and electrochemical characterizations involved in this field. Finally, perspectives for future trends are presented. The paper provides valuable insights on the potential contribution of electricity-driven microbial valorization of waste carbon and nitrogen toward a green and sustainable society.
