Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cleaning Optimization from Textile Dyeing Wastewater Reuse Applications

Membranes
Reverse osmosis (RO) is the key process for textile dyeing wastewater reuse applications. Membrane fouling reduces both permeability and rejection capability, negatively affecting the technological economy of RO process.

Forward Osmosis (FO) Membrane Fouling Mitigation during the Concentration of Cows’ Urine

Membranes, 2022
FO membrane fouling mitigation during the concentration of cows’ urine was investigated. In particular, the effects on the permeability recovery of cleaning methods such as membrane washing with deionized (DI) water, osmotic backwash, and chemical ...

Membrane thickness, lipid phase and sterol type are determining factors in the permeability of membranes to small solutes

Nature Communications, 2022
Membrane permeability of small molecules depends on the composition of the lipid bilayer. Here, authors compare permeability measured on membranes in different physical states and conclude that the yeast membrane exists in a highly ordered phase.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

The Influence of Moderate Electroporation on E. coli Membrane Permeability

Microorganisms
This study examined the membrane permeability of E. coli, which were exposed to a moderate pulsed electric field (PEF) (3.3 kV/cm). The membrane permeability of E. coli was examined as a function of time after exposure to PEF.

The Effect of Temperature, Sulfonation, and PEG Addition on Physicochemical Characteristics of PVDF Membranes and Its Application on Hemodialysis Membrane

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2021
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane and its derivative have been investigated the permeation ability for creatinine and urea. The membrane was made by an inversion precipitation system in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and water as non-solvents.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
