Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an excellent natural biopolymer with wide range of applications. The present study reports a potential BC producing thermophile, identified as Bacillus licheniformis strain ZBT2. The thermophile produced pellicle form of BC (3.0 g/l) under static conditions. Statistical optimization of BC was carried out by…[Read more]

Compared with controls, TMAO-supplemented mice performed worse on the novel object recognition test, indicating impaired memory and learning, and had increased neuroinflammation and markers of astrocyte activation. Study 4 Human astrocytes cultured with TMAO vs. control media exhibited changes in cellular morphology and protein markers consistent…[Read more]

The hybrid obtained at pH 3 exhibited an enhanced adsorption capacity of 125 mg g-1 at 15 min. The synergy between amino hydroxyapatite and chitosan crosslinked by glutaraldehyde was demonstrated. In this work sulfonated chitosan (SCS) was introduced as a promising green kinetic methane hydrate and corrosion inhibitor to overcome the incom…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) ranks as the fifth most frequent cancer worldwide, and the recurrence and migration of OSCC still pose large threats to patients. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently emerged as crucial players in cancer development, and it is of great significance to understand the regulatory nexus of lncRNAs…[Read more]
