Histopathological changes in the gills of Astyanax lacustris specimens exposed to a reactive textile dye, before and after treatment with the constructed wetland system [PDF]

Neotropical Ichthyology
Reactive dyes commonly used in the textile industry have been found to pose potential harm to aquatic organisms. In light of the lack of comprehensive studies on the effects of reactive dyes, our study aimed to assess the impact of Novacron® Bold Deep ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Streptomyces Consortium for Enhanced Biodegrdation of Azo Blue Dye

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2018
A Streptomyces consortium was developed and investigated for biodegradation of reactive sulfonated di azo dye (Reactive Blue 222). The biodegradation of azo blue dye by the consortium was further assessed with different ratios of inoculum of two ...

Response Surface Methodology for Optimizing Adsorption Process Parameters of Reactive Blue 21 onto Modified Kaolin [PDF]

Advances in Environmental Technology, 2017
In this research modified Kaolin by Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is used as an adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Blue 21 from aqueous solutions. Response Surface Methodology was used to study the effect of independent variables, such as Reactive ...

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Regeneratable lignosulfonic acid/PDADMAC polyelectrolyte-microfiltration (MF) membrane for reactive dye removal: Effects of post treatment and interference of microplastic and microfibers

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering
This research aims to develop a lignin-based polyelectrolyte combination (Lignosulfonic acid sodium salt (LSA)/Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), (PDADMAC)) for surface modification of microfiltration (MF) membranes to enhance reactive dye rejection.

Study of the Electrochemical Oxidation of Reactive Textile Dyes Using Platinum Electrode

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013
Textile industries are widespread in developing countries. Among the various processes in the textile industry, the dyeing process uses large volumes of water for dyeing, fixing and washing. Textile industry wastewater is characterized by intensive color

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...
