Effect of Preparation Methods on Crystallization Behavior and Tensile Strength of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Membranes

open access: yesMembranes, 2013
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes were prepared by non solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), melt spinning and the solution-cast method.

Membranous nephropathy

open access: yesJournal of Nephrology, 2007
Abstract Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a glomerular disease characterized by proteinuria, usually in a nephrotic range, and variable natural course. The etiology is unknown in many cases, while in some patients, MN may be secondary to infection, to other diseases, or to exposure to drugs and toxic substances.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Assessment of oil fouling by oil-membrane interaction energy analysis

open access: yes, 2018
Membrane-filtration is promising for treating the voluminous oily wastewater, especially when the oil emulsions are smaller than 20 µm. However, studies on the inevitable membrane fouling phenomenon by oil are rather scarce.

Techno-economic process optimization for a range of membrane performances: What provides real value for point-source carbon capture?

open access: yesCarbon Capture Science & Technology
Membranes provide a unique opportunity for heavy industry decarbonization and a real solution requires optimal system design. We use a superstructure process model to minimize capital and operational expenses for post-combustion carbon capture systems ...

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Photothermal-enhanced and fouling-resistant membrane for solar-assisted membrane distillation

open access: yes, 2018
Membrane distillation (MD) has been gaining increasing attention as a promising alternative to the more conventional separation processes like distillation and reverse osmosis (RO), due to the higher rejection, lower fouling propensity and ability to ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Kinetic selectivity in metal-organic framework chemical sensors

open access: yesNature Communications
Selective detection of specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is crucial for health, safety, and environmental applications, but current sensors suffer from poor selectivity and struggle to measure specific VOCs in the presence of interfering ...
