The photoswitchable cannabinoid azo‐HU308 enables optical control of Ca2+ dynamics in INS‐1 β‐cells via off‐target effects on TRPC channels

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Light activation of the photoswitchable cannabinoid ligand azo‐HU308 triggers Ca2+ influx in pancreatic β‐cells through TRPC channels, independent of CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This reveals a non‐GPCR pathway for cannabinoid modulation of β‐cell Ca2+ dynamics and establishes azo‐HU308 as an optical tool to study cannabinoid signaling through TRP ...

Sulfonation of Poly(phenylene oxide) Anion Exchange Membrane for All Vanadium Flow Redox Battery

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2019
To develop a low cost non-fluorinated membrane for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), several commercial ion exchange membranes (IEM) were compared in terms of primary properties such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), vanadium ion permeability (P) and ...

Quaternary Ammonium-Bearing Perfluorinated Polymers for Anion Exchange Membrane Applications

Membranes, 2020
Perfluorinated polymers are widely used in polymer electrolyte membranes because of their excellent ion conductivity, which are attributed to the well-defined morphologies resulting from their extremely hydrophobic main-chains and flexible hydrophilic ...

Novel ETFE based radiation grafted poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-methacrylonitrile) proton conducting membranes with increased stability [PDF]

, 2009
Styrene radiation grafted ETFE based proton conducting membranes are subject to degradation under fuel cell operating conditions and show a poor stability. Lifetimes exceeding 250 h can only be achieved with crosslinked membranes.

SmallTalk: a novel small‐sized fusion tag for peptide expression and purification

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The SmallTalk fusion tag allows for the efficient expression and purification of soluble recombinant proteins or peptides in Escherichia coli. Testing with SmallTalk‐GFP confirmed that the proteins were soluble and folded correctly, while SmallTalk‐Bin1b maintained its antimicrobial activity against various bacterial isolates. This streamlined workflow

Effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in chitosan/Pahae natural zeolite-based polymer electrolyte membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications

Materials Science for Energy Technologies, 2023
The use of electrolyte membranes for fuel cell applications has grown rapidly, and one of the materials often developed is chitosan. In this study, polymer electrolyte membranes were successfully produced using chitosan and Pahae natural zeolite with the

Microglial dynamics and ferroptosis induction in human iPSC‐derived neuron–astrocyte–microglia tri‐cultures

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A tri‐culture of iPSC‐derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia treated with ferroptosis inducers as an Induced ferroptosis model was characterized by scRNA‐seq, cell survival, and cytokine release assays. This analysis revealed diverse microglial transcriptomic changes, indicating that the system captures key aspects of the complex cellular ...

High durable SPEEK/TiO2 nanopaper composite membrane for vanadium redox flow battery

Journal of Saudi Chemical Society
Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) ion exchange membranes for VRFB are promising alternatives to Nafion, but require improved mechanical and chemical stability for long-term operation. Here, we have fabricated composite membranes using SPEEK as

Cutaneous Melanoma Drives Metabolic Changes in the Aged Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, increasingly affects older adults. Our study reveals that melanoma induces changes in iron and lipid levels in the bone marrow, impacting immune cell populations and increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis.

Ion-exchange membrane reinforcing

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2015
Sufficient mechanical property of ion-exchange membrane is a key factor for its successful implementation to electrodialysis (ED) stack. Although the ED is not a pressure driven process, the membrane need to withstand some small overpressure and also manipulation during stack assembling.
