Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

MRI in soils: determination of water concent changes due to root water uptake by means of a multi-slice-multi-echo sequence (MSME) [PDF]

Root water uptake by ricinus communis (castor bean) in fine sand was investigated using MRI with multiecho sampling. Before starting the experiments the plants germinated and grew for 3 weeks in a cylindrical container with a diameter of 9 cm ...

Safety Assessment and Hypoglycemic Effect of Moringa oleifera Lam. Seed Lectin (WSMoL) in Alloxan‐Induced Diabetic Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds contain WSMoL, a lectin previously studied for toxicity and pharmacological effects. In this study, we investigated WSMoL (10, 25, or 50 mg/kg i.p.) for acute and 14‐day repeated‐dose toxicity, as well as genotoxicity, in Swiss mice.

Diacetylene‐Functionalized Glycan Mimetics for Receptor‐Mediated Cluster Imprinting in Model Membranes

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular
