Isolating the chiral contribution in optical two-dimensional chiral spectroscopy using linearly polarized light [PDF]

, 2017
The full development of mono- or multi-dimensional time-resolved spectroscopy techniques incorporating optical activity signals has been strongly hampered by the challenge of identifying the small chiral signals over the large achiral background. Here we

Polydatin alleviates mitochondrial damage and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells by inhibiting toll‐like receptor 4‐dependent macrophage activation in asthma

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The alleviation of asthma by polydatin is dependent on the blockage of the toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/P2X7R synergy in macrophages. The blockage of the TLR4/P2X7R synergy results in decreased release and secretion of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and IL‐18. In epithelial cells, low IL‐1β and IL‐18 levels inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis.

Removal of Methylene Blue and Congo Red Dyes Using Sustainable and Eco‐Friendly Bioadsorbents: A Review

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The continuous increasing discharge of synthetic dyes into aquatic systems seems to be an important environmental and health risk due to their high toxicity and resistance to biodegradation. Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) are widely used in textile and industrial applications, necessitating sustainable and efficient ...
