Dual‐Component Spidroin‐Based Hydrogels: A Mechanically Tunable Platform for 2D and 3D Cell Culture

Small, EarlyView.
A dual‐component recombinant spider silk hydrogel platform was developed by combining NT2RepCT with a bioactive vitronectin‐functionalized spidroin domain. The hydrogels self‐assemble under physiological conditions, exhibit tunable mechanical properties, and support 2D and 3D cell culture, providing a versatile platform for mechanobiological studies ...

Mussel-Inspired Two-Dimensional Halide Perovskite Facilitated Dopamine Polymerization and Self-Adhesive Photoelectric Coating

Polydopamine (PDA) is a good adhesion agent for lots of gels inspired by the mussel, whereas hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) usually exhibit extraordinary optoelectronic performance. Herein, mussel-inspired chemistry has been integrated with

Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Beyond Removal Efficiency: Environmental Risk Assessment of Tartrazine Degradation via ZnO and TiO2 Nanoparticles in Mussels

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tartrazine (TZ) is a widely used synthetic azo dye with high aqueous stability, resulting in persistence in wastewater. Photoreactive nanomaterials, principally zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs), are frequently employed for dye removal under light‐exposed conditions; nevertheless, their ecotoxicological ...

Influence of Age and Exposure Pathway on Copper and Cadmium Mixture Toxicity: A Study on Daphnia magna

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.

Terrestrial Isopods as Biotic Generators of Microplastics Following Chronic Exposure to Weathered Low‐Density Polyethylene

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...

Mussel-Inspired Cellulose-Based Nanocomposite Fibers for Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation

, 2018
We present a green and low-cost approach to fabricate titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs)/polydopamine (PDA)/cellulose fibers (CF) composite (TiO2/PDA/CF) by using PDA as functional layer and a protective agent.
