A zebrafish multimodal toolbox to study the blood-brain barrier in health and disease

Scientific Reports
Vasogenic edema, due to inner blood-retinal barrier (BRB) disruption, is a major cause of vision loss across various ocular diseases. Similarly, blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown is a hallmark of many neurological disorders.

Sustainable Plant‐Based Water Repellent Coatings Using Hydrophobic Pine and Palm Pollen

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel formulation strategy for creating superhydrophobic coatings using plant‐derived waxes and chemically treated pine and palm pollen. By employing acid modification, the hydrophobicity of the pollen surface is enhanced, resulting in water contact angles exceeding 150°.

Exploratory Study on the Application of Starter and Inoculum of Trichoderma sp. with Various Dosages on the Reduction of Moisture Content in Cattle Manure Composting

Florea: Jurnal Biologi dan Pembelajarannya
Cattle manure is an organic waste with high moisture content that can slow down decomposition and produce unpleasant odors. Improving composting efficiency can be achieved by adding Trichoderma sp. as a bioactivator.

Upscaling Pulsed Laser Fragmentation in Liquids by Advanced Free‐Flow Setups

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Advanced flow setups providing thin colloid films are introduced to upscale pulsed laser fragmentation in liquids for sustainable nanoparticle synthesis. Their potential is demonstrated by yielding remarkably small ZnO nanoparticles of <7 nm. Numerical simulations complement the study, revealing that the superior performance can be attributed to ...
