In-vitro and in-silico characterization of zein fiber incorporating cuminaldehyde

The zein solutions containing different concentrations of cuminaldehyde (5%, 10%, and 20%, w/w) were electrospun. The morphology and average diameter of fibers were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and the optimized fiber (20% cuminaldehyde) was c ...

Spectroelectrochemical and Chemical Evidence of Surface Passivation at Zinc Ferrite (ZnFe 2 O 4 ) Photoanodes for Solar Water Oxidation

Kevin Sivula, Mounir Driss Mensi, Liang Yao, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Dan Ren, Yongpeng Liu, Meng Xia

Recent advances in low‐cost manufacturing as well as in bulk/interface engineering have positioned zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4, ZFO) in the spotlight as a candidate material for solar water oxidation. However, the severe recombination at the reactive interface r ...

The evolution of the type VI secretion system as a disintegration weapon

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a nanomachine used by many bacteria to drive a toxin-laden needle into other bacterial cells. Although the potential to influence bacterial competition is clear, the fitness impacts of wielding a T6SS are not well und ...

Aerosol pH and liquid water content determine when particulate matter is sensitive to ammonia and nitrate availability

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia (NH3) from anthropogenic and biogenic emissions are central contributors to particulate matter (PM) concentrations worldwide. The response of PM to changes in the emissions of both compounds is typically studied on a case- ...

A fish intestinal barrier model to assess the interaction with chemicals in vitro

Hannah Inka Schug

The intestinal epithelium acts as vital gate keeper between the fish and its surrounding environment. A single layer of connected epithelial cells forms a selective barrier, which, among other essential functions, is important for nutrient uptake and defen ...

Quantitative chemical biosensing by bacterial chemotaxis in microfluidic chips

Harald Van Lintel, Jan Roelof van der Meer, Clémence Roggo

Whole-cell bacterial bioreporters are proposed asalternatives to chemical analysis of, for example, pol-lutants in environmental compartments. Commonlybased on reporter gene induction, bioreporters pro-duce a detectable signal within 30 min to a few hoursa ...

TransFEr: a new device to measure the transfer of volatile and hydrophobic organic chemicals across an in vitro intestinal fish cell barrier

Kristin Schirmer, Hannah Inka Schug

Transfer of compounds across cellular barriers is a critical step of compound uptake into organisms. Using in vitro barrier systems to evaluate such transfer is attractive because of the higher throughput and reduced resource needs compared to animal studi ...
