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 ...

Architecture‐Driven Functional Coupling in Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vertically aligned nanocomposites define a growth‐engineered architecture in which vertical interfaces, strain fields, defect pathways, and phase connectivity are created simultaneously. This review shows how these architectural features couple ferroic, optical, ionic, electrochemical, and device responses, establishing design rules and open challenges

A Magneto‐Mechanically Activated Nerve Guidance Conduit Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via TIMP1‐Mediated Membrane Tension Transfer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a magneto‐mechanical strategy that incorporates FP@MSCs into an aligned PCL/GelMA nerve guidance conduit. Magnetic stimulation increases membrane tension in FP@MSCs, triggering cytoskeletal remodeling, Schwann cell‐like differentiation, and TIMP1 secretion. TIMP1 activates ITGB1/CD63–FAK signaling in NE‐4C cells, increasing membrane

Understanding membrane pore-wetting in the membrane distillation of oil emulsions via molecular dynamics simulations

open access: yes, 2018
The escalating volume of oily wastewater, particularly produced water, necessitates efficient means of treatment for the recovery of both the water and oil constituents. Towards this end, membrane distillation (MD) is a promising candidate. Unfortunately,

Factors influencing the solubilization of membrane proteins from Escherichia coli membranes by styrene–maleic acid copolymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Styrene–maleic acid (SMA) copolymers are a promising alternative to detergents for the solubilization of membrane proteins. Here we employ Escherichia coli membranes containing KcsA as a model protein to investigate the influence of different ...

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

Integrin-mediated membrane blebbing is dependent on the NHE1 and NCX1 activities. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Integrin-mediated signal transduction and membrane blebbing have been well studied to modulate cell adhesion, spreading and migration^1-6^. However, the relationship between membrane blebbing and integrin signaling has not been explored.

Effect of membrane fouling on chiral separation

open access: yes, 2020
Chiral purity is becoming increasingly critical particularly for the pharmaceutical industry. Compared to the conventional techniques, membrane-based separation is promising as an easily scalable, efficient, continuous operation. Past studies have proven
