Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Resistance to permeate flux in the filtration of methanogenic waste.
KAGAKU KOGAKU RONBUNSHU, 1988 セラミック膜をメタン発酵メンブレンバイオリアクターに適用するための濾過実験を行うに当たり, まず, 膜への供給液としてのメタン発酵液に含まれる浮遊固形物の特性を明らかにした.メタン発酵液は, グルコース-ペプトン系合成廃水をメタン発酵処理した物である.本液中の浮遊固形物はメタン菌とその代謝物より成りその大きさは, 球形粒子で直径 0.05μm 前後, 球菌で直径 0.2 から 1μm, 菌で径方向 0.2 から 0.7μm, 軸方向1から 2μm であった.これらの粒子を淵過した場合に膜面に形成される粒子充填層において, 粒子は濾過圧力で変形し, また, 比抵抗は塩濃度に支配されることがわかった. 比抵抗は塩濃度の上昇により増大した.この結果は DLVO 理論により説明できた.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Dynamic Modeling of Fouling in Reverse Osmosis Membranes
Membranes, 2021 During reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration, performance is dramatically affected by fouling, which concurrently decreases the permeate flux while increasing the energy required to operate the system.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Use of flocculants for increasing permeate flux in anaerobic membrane bioreactors
Water Science and Technology, 2014 Biomass retention, required for high rate anaerobic wastewater treatment, can be accomplished coupling an anaerobic bioreactor with membrane filtration. However, low flux seems to be a common factor when operating anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs). Modification of biomass properties may represent a strategy for improving membrane flux.
