On the Origin of the Brain Semi‐Heavy Water Deuterium MR Signal Following Administration of Deuterated Metabolic Substrate: A Cautionary Tale

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the extent to which the appearance of HOD in the brain following systemic administration of a deuterated substrate is due to local brain metabolism versus body metabolism. Methods [6,6‐2H2]glucose, which is transported across the blood‐brain barrier (BBB), and [6,6‐2H2]fructose (Fruc), which does not cross the BBB, were ...

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) using agro-industrial effluents with tunable proportion of 3-hydroxyvalerate monomer units.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2019
With increasing concerns about future oil depletion and plastic pollution, bioplastics saw an increasing interest from scientists and industrials. Among bioplastics, the polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a promising family of polyester which are both ...

GABA+‐Edited Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Deep Learning Quality Assessment Framework

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Motivated by the need to improve GABA+‐edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) quality, we developed a three‐module framework to improve transient averaging based on quality. We hypothesized that training a deep learning (DL) model to differentiate spectrum quality could improve transient averaging compared to traditional ...

On the Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of PLA, PBAT, and PHBV‐Based Ternary Blends and the Effect of Short Flax Fibers as Reinforcing Agents

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low

Novel particulate vaccine candidates recombinantly produced by pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacterial hosts : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. [PDF]

, 2017
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolyesters synthesized as small spherical cytoplasmic inclusion bodies by a range of bacteria. Recently, PHA beads have been investigated for use as a vaccine delivery platform by using engineered heterologous ...

Crystalline Poly(L‐Lactic Acid) Nanoparticles via Nonsolvent‐Induced Cascade Phase Separation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Water is used as the nonsolvent to induce liquid/liquid phase separation (LLPS) of poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)/propylene carbonate solution and PLLA crystallization. Due to the two levels of cascade LLPS coupled with confined PLLA crystallization, three types of polymeric nanoparticles, including PLLA single crystals, Ouzo crystalsomes, and sheaf‐like ...

Human Colitis‐on‐Chip Model Reveals Dual Roles of Butyrate in Epithelial and Macrophage Defense Against Candida albicans Tissue Invasion

Small, EarlyView.
This study establishes a human immunocompetent colitis‐on‐chip model that mimics inflamed gut mucosa and enables quantitative analysis of Candida albicans tissue invasion under DSS‐induced injury. It reveals that microbiota‐derived butyrate simultaneously stabilizes epithelial junctions and reprograms macrophages via HDAC/NLRP3‐dependent mechanisms ...

Harnessing energy metabolism for enhanced bone defect repair: Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenge of bone defect repair by focusing on the underexplored role of cellular energy metabolism. It synthesizes regulatory mechanisms in bone‐forming cells and sums up innovative strategies—leveraging cell derivatives, active factors, and biomimetic scaffolds—to modulate metabolism for enhanced regeneration.
