Bronchial epithelium in children: a key player in asthma

European Respiratory Review, 2016
Bronchial epithelium is a key element of the respiratory airways. It constitutes the interface between the environment and the host. It is a physical barrier with many chemical and immunological properties. The bronchial epithelium is abnormal in asthma,

CO_{2}$ splitting in a dielectric barrier discharge plasma : understanding of physical and chemical aspects [PDF]

, 2016
Carbon dioxide appears as one of the most problematic gases for the environment, mostly because it is responsible for global warming. This is why its increasing concentration into the atmosphere, mainly due to anthropogenic activities, is a real concern for planet Earth. In order to prevent the release of large amounts of CO2, its conversion into value-

Development of a new sustainable packaging paper based on cellulose filaments and refined kraft pulp

Future Foods
The traditional use of single-use plastics in the packaging sector is limited by pollution, non-recyclability, and non-biodegradability. Replacing it with recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable materials such as cellulose has become vital.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Research progress on skin barrier damage and repair mechanisms

Pifu-xingbing zhenliaoxue zazhi
In recent years, the mechanisms of damage and repair of the skin barrier have evolved from traditional factors（physical, chemical, biological, hereditary, etc.）to the levels of molecules, genes, and signaling pathways.

A WSi–WSiN–Pt Metallization Scheme for Silicon Carbide-Based High Temperature Microsystems

Micromachines, 2016
In this paper, we present and discuss our new WSi–WSiN–Pt metallization scheme for SiC-based microsystems for applications in harsh environments. Stoichiometric material WSi was selected as contact material for SiC.

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Protective Properties of a Microstructure Composed of Barrier Nanostructured Organics and SiOx Layers Deposited on a Polymer Matrix

Nanomaterials, 2018
The SiOx barrier nanocoatings have been prepared on selected polymer matrices to increase their resistance against permeation of toxic substances. The aim has been to find out whether the method of vacuum plasma deposition of SiOx barrier nanocoatings on
