InfoMat, EarlyView.The enclosed study addresses the critical challenge of inefficient heat dissipation during the fabrication of traditional TFC membranes, which typically leads to defective polyamide layers and compromised desalination performance. By ingeniously incorporating thermally conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets as an interlayer, this work achieved enhanced ...

A case of amebic colitis: A potentially fatal mimicker of inflammatory bowel disease
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amebiasis, caused by Entamoeba histolytica, can present diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations and potential for misdiagnosis, particularly in regions with low incidence rates. We report a case of a 9‐year‐old girl initially diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease but later confirmed to have amebic colitis.

Elucidation of the Role of 3-Hydroxy Fatty Acids in Cryptococcus-amoeba Interactions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 We previously reported that 3-hydroxy fatty acids promoted the survival of cryptococcal cells when acted upon by amoebae. To expand on this, the current study sought to explain how these molecules may protect cells.

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Aerosol dust deposited on the nutrient‐deprived surface ocean can boost phytoplankton growth and oceanic carbon uptake. Low mineral solubility restricts the biological utilization of dust‐nutrients, thereby benefiting phytoplankton that actively dissolve dust.

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Vibrational Features of Water at the Low-Density/High-Density Liquid Structural Transformations
, 2011 A structural transformation in water upon compression was recently observed at the temperature $T=277$~K in the vicinity of the pressure $p \approx 2\;000$~Atm [R.M. Khusnutdinoff, A.V. Mokshin, J. Non-Cryst. Solids \textbf{357}, 1677 (2011)].
