Influence of the Fiber Volume Content on the Durability-Related Properties of Polypropylene-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

Sustainability, 2020
Polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete impacts the early shrinkage during the plastic stage of concrete, and the fiber volume content influences the durability-related properties of concrete. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the influence of

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Stochastic Nanoscale Biophysical Cues as a Basis for the Induction of Glioblastoma‐Like Transcriptional Programs in Astrocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stochastic nanoscale physical cues induce glioblastoma (GBM)‐associated transcriptional traits in naïve astrocytes leading to spontaneous formation of spheroids. Cells within spheroids express activated‐MMP2 and a differential gene expression pattern involving P53 and NOTCH3, providing evidence for a role for changes in brain topography, as observed in

Chemical Upcycling of Polyphenylene Sulfide at Room Temperature

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) is a semi‐crystalline super engineering plastic with exceptional properties. An iron‐photocatalyzed strategy is reported for chemical upcycling of PPS plastics at room temperature using 1,2‐dichloroethane. The method demonstrates remarkable efficiency across diverse PPS resins and post‐consumer composites, even within ...

All Solid Lithium Metal‐Polymer Battery End‐of‐Life: an Investigation of Symmetric, Battery, and Bilayer Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the evolution of the lithium (Li)/polymer interface is compared in a realistic pouch cell configuration, either in Li/Li symmetric cell or in full Li/LiFePO4${\rm LiFePO}_4$ batteries thanks to X‐ray micro‐tomography. While Li/Li symmetric cells are the reference cell for probing the interface stability, results demonstrated that the end‐

Oil‐Coated Nanoplastics Induce Rapid Membrane Disruption and Severe Intestinal Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oil‐rich food contact dramatically amplifies MNP release from plastic takeout containers, producing oil‐coated nanoplastics with altered surface properties and rapid membrane‐disruptive effects. These particles cause severe intestinal barrier damage and immune dysfunction in mice, and risk modeling suggests that long‐term gastrointestinal burdens may ...
