An Updated Review of Toxicity Effect of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) on Aquatic Organisms

Animals, 2020
Simple Summary Rare earth elements (REEs) have become important metals in modern-day technology. The process of discarding obsolete equipment containing REEs, use of REEs containing phosphate fertilizers, mining, and dispersion from indigenous rocks may ...

Intrabandgap States Engineering in Functionalized Nanodiamond to Generate Solvated Electrons for Photocatalysis Under Solar Illumination

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The negative electron affinity of diamond allows to emit highly reductive electrons. By introducing intra‐bandgap states and an optimized electron transfer mechanism by surface functionalization with Ru(bpy)3, the formation of solvated electrons is achieved upon solar irradiation.

Proteins, Processing, and Properties of Adhesive Fluid Condensates Purified from Mussels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mussels exhibit an unmatched proficiency for adhering to wet surfaces in salty environments—a remarkable ability that could inspire new biomedical and technical glues. The fluid protein condensates used to form the underwater mussel glue are extracted, reconstituted and characterized with advanced spectroscopy and nanomechanical analysis, revealing ...

Mast cells and eosinophilic granule cells in Oncorhynchus mykiss: Are they similar or different?

Fish and Shellfish Immunology Reports, 2021
Mast cells are important in inflammatory processes and in the nonspecific immune response, and there are also indications that these cells are associated with the effectors of the specific immune response.

Micro and Nanostructural Diversity of Lizard Osteoderm Capping Tissue in Relation to Mechanical Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows that lizard osteoderm capping tissue is a hyper‐mineralized hydroxyapatite layer consistently covering the superficial osteoderm surface in those species studied here, yet it varies greatly in morphology, nanostructure, and mechanical performance across species.
