Remote Modulation of Single‐Atom Catalyst Boosts High‐Valent Cobalt–Oxo Species Generation for Water Purification and Detoxification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a phosphorus‐doped cobalt single‐atom catalyst that enhances high‐valent cobalt–oxo species generation for water purification. This atomic‐level tuning boosts the catalyst's activity by 3.5 times, enabling efficient pollutant degradation. A continuous‐flow reactor achieves high, long‐term removal efficiency, producing water with low

Epoxy resin‐based sealers modified with clay nanoparticles: Evaluation of their physicochemical and mechanical properties

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Epoxy resin‐based sealers are commonly used in endodontic treatment due to their superior physicochemical properties. Therefore, it is important to utilize these materials by enhancing their properties. Nonetheless, several of their properties remain suboptimal, including the relatively prolonged setting time, the moderate yet clinically ...

Establishment and optimization of the two‐step induction system for generating primordial germ cell‐like cells from chicken embryonic stem cells

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 161-177, January 2026.
This study optimizes a two‐step induction system to generate PGCLCs from chicken ESCs. The induced cells express germline markers and migrate to gonads in ovo, offering a novel approach for avian genetic resource conservation. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the progenitor cells of sperm and eggs.
