Effect of humic-acid fouling on membrane distillation

, 2016
Membrane distillation (MD) can concentrate non-volatile solutes or remove volatiles and dissolved gases from an aqueous feed. A microporous hydrophobic membrane provides a barrier between the hot feed and cold distillate.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane modification via oxidant-induced dopamine polymerization for sustainable direct-contact membrane distillation

, 2018
Porous hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have been extensively used in direct-contact membrane distillation (DCMD) processes. However, these PVDF membranes are vulnerable to membrane fouling and pore wetting in low surface tension ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Design, development and evaluation of nanofibrous composite membranes with opposing membrane wetting properties for extractive membrane bioreactors

, 2018
Extractive membrane bioreactors (EMBRs) are promising wastewater treatment processes combining an aqueous-aqueous extractive membrane process and biodegradation.

Characterization of membrane wetting phenomenon by ionic liquid via ultrasonic time-domain reflectometry (UTDR)

, 2022
Ionic liquids (ILs) are becoming attractive solvents or catalysts in many industries, thus energy-efficient membrane-based technologies for the purification and concentration of ILs are gaining attention.

A Peptide‐Derived Aggregation‐Induced Emission Nanobioprobe: Unlocking Selective Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum and Noninvasive Screening of Colorectal Cancer

Aggregate
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and early diagnosis is an effective strategy for reducing CRC mortality. However, the current detection methods involve exorbitant costs and complex procedures, which are inconvenient for large‐scale screening. Given its

Coupling solar‐driven interfacial evaporation with forward osmosis for continuous water treatment

Exploration, 2022
Forward osmosis (FO) driven by osmotic pressure difference has great potential in water treatment. However, it remains a challenge to maintain a steady water flux at continuous operation. Herein, a FO and photothermal evaporation (PE) coupling system (FO‐

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
