Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain containing 2a (Mfsd2a) is a sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) transporter expressed at the blood-brain barrier that constitutes the main pathway by which the brain obtains omega-3 fatty acids, such as docosahexanoic acid. Mfsd2a deficiency in humans results in severe microcephaly, underscoring the i...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) provide considerable benefits in the energy and environmental sectors for producing bioenergy during bioremediation. Recently, new hybrid composite membranes with inorganic additives have been considered for MFC application to replace the high cost of commercial membranes and improve the performances of cost-effective po...

Fermentation broth is plentiful with lactic acid, an important chemical applied in many fields, such as food processing, the chemical industry, and cosmetics. However, the purification of the lactic acid from the broth is still troublesome, when considering the economy. This study first investigated the purification performance of microfiltration (...

The present paper deals with the complex study of CO2 capture from combined heat power plant flue gases using the efficient technological design of a membrane cascade type of «Continuous Membrane Column» for binary gas mixture separation. In contrast to well-known multi-step or multi-stage process designs, the cascade type of separation unit provid...

This paper discusses the possibility of using plant polyphenols as viral fusion inhibitors with a lipid-mediated mechanism of action. The studied agents are promising candidates for the role of antiviral compounds due to their high lipophilicity, low toxicity, bioavailability, and relative cheapness. Fluorimetry of calcein release at the calcium-me...

Coated stents are defined as innovative stents surrounded by a thin polymer membrane based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)useful in the treatment of numerous vascular pathologies. Endovascular methodology involves the use of such devices to restore blood flow in small-, medium- and large-calibre arteries, both centrally and peripherally. These me...

In this work, we report the effect of steady-state atmospheric plasma (Corona discharge) in nanofibers and nanocomposite membranes for piezoelectric applications. The investigation was performed in PVDF (Poly vinylidene fluoride) nanofibers, CNT (Carbon Nanotubes)-reinforced PVDF nanocomposites, and PAN (Poly acrylonitrile) nanofiber membranes. Ste...

We propose the design of a phononic crystal to sense the acoustic properties of a liquid that is constituted by an array of silicon ridges on a membrane. In contrast to other concepts, the ridges are immersed in the liquid. The introduction of a suitable cavity in the periodic array gives rise to a confined defect mode with high localization in the...

Inhalation of crystalline silica has been well documented to cause pulmonary inflammation and lung disease such as silicosis. Respirable silica particles deposit in the lungs and are phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages. Subsequently, phagocytosed silica remains undegraded within lysosomes causing lysosomal damage known as phagolysosomal membrane p...

The present work focused on the experimental study of the specific features of self-diffusion of tridecane molecules in macroporous kaolinite, which is used as a raw material for the production of chemically inert membranes. The measurements of self-diffusion coefficients by pulsed magnetic field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PMFG NMR) revea...
