A Multifunctional Bioactive Nanoscale Coating Deposited by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Polymerization of Peppermint Essential Oil

Small, EarlyView.
Atmospheric plasma polymerization transforms peppermint essential oil into ultrathin, substrate‐independent bioactive coatings with antioxidant, contact‐active antibacterial, and immunomodulatory functions. The coating disrupts Gram‐negative pathogens, potentiates prophylactic antibiotics, suppresses pro‐inflammatory signaling, and promotes M2 ...

In Situ Surface Reconstruction and Carbon Encapsulation for High‐Performance Pt‐Lean Catalysts beyond Conventional Core–Shell Designs

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step in situ fabrication produces Pt‐segregated nanoparticles encapsulated in porous carbon shells. This design drastically reduces Pt content while maintaining high oxygen reduction reaction activity and long‐term durability. The catalyst meets DOE targets even at ultralow Pt loading, presenting a practical pathway toward cost‐effective, high ...

To Dye or Not to Dye: Unraveling the Impact of Surface Chemistry on Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles–Cell Interactions

Small Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent dye labeling enables nanoparticle imaging but may subtly alter their surface chemistry and biological behavior. This study compares dye‐labeled and unlabeled cerium oxide nanozymes, revealing changes in cellular uptake kinetics without affecting their final intracellular fate. Combined fluorescence and label‐free electron microscopy imaging

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

Influence of Hydrogen Fuel Mixtures on the Oxide Scale Formation of Low‐Carbon Steels in Reheating Furnace Conditions

steel research international, EarlyView.
This work illustrates how substituting natural gas with hydrogen as fuel in the reheating furnace will influence the oxide scale formation on the steel surface. Thermogravimetric analysis and characterization techniques are used to investigate oxidation behavior and the formation of oxide phases.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence
