Towards a monitoring tool to quantify urease during biocementation treatment at microscale [PDF]
Biocementation consists in using urease enzyme and a solution rich in urea and in calcium to precipitate calcium carbonate (biocement). When applying this treatment in soils, the biocement minerals bond the grains improving overall soil’s hydro ...

SERS‐Based Nano‐ and Microsystems Toward Biomedical Applications
This review provides a current overview of nano‐ and microscale SERS‐based devices, encompassing all aspects from material design to practical applications. We highlight controlled SERS‐active architectures, including patterned substrates, nanorods, microspheres, micromotors, and microneedles, as well as combinations of these microfluidic systems.

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

The dependence of the specific activity of urease upon the apparent absolute enzyme concentration [PDF]
If the activity of an enzyme preparation is determined under conditions in which a further increase in substrate concentration is without demonstrable effect, all other factors being held constant, it is ordinarily assumed that the specific activity of ...

The Paediatric BCG Vaccine Century: From Historical Success to Future Innovations
ABSTRACT Aim The tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, Bacille‐Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), protects infants against severe forms of primary TB. Yet, it does not protect against pulmonary reactivation TB in adults. Methods A literature review was conducted between 1st January and 28th February 2025 using PubMed, Google Scholar and reports of the World Health ...

Prebiotic aqueous reactions catalyzed by native nickel without hydrogen
Serpentinizing (H2‐producing) hydrothermal vents are candidate environments for metabolic origin. They generate highly reducing conditions that convert CO2 to formate and methane in abiotic reactions resembling reactions of the acetyl‐CoA pathway of CO2 fixation. They also contain natural catalysts. Native nickel (Ni0), like Fe0, Co0, and their alloys,

ABSTRACT Background High antibiotic resistance and limited tetracycline accessibility severely restrict the clinical application of classic bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT), creating an urgent demand for alternative regimens. Methods A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to June 3, 2025, for trials ...
