Chemical amination of the enzyme was demonstrated to favor immobilization onto polydopamine (PDA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for the first time, to the best of the author's knowledge. MNPs prepared via hydrothermal synthesis were coated with PDA for the immobilization of naringinase. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the MNPs were composed mainly of FeO with an average size of 38.

- Lignin valorization via heterogeneous photocatalysis can produce valuable products like chemicals and biofuels, but there are challenges to overcome.
- Efficient photocatalysts, particularly heterojunction photocatalysts, are crucial for achieving selective reactions in the conversion of lignin.
- This research describes an easy method for creating BiTiO/BiOI heterojunction photocatalysts that significantly enhance the selective oxidation of veratryl alcohol into veratraldehyde, yielding much higher results than the individual components.
Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) is a rare and often underdiagnosed condition where the spinal cord herniates through a defect in the dura mater, with no known cause.
- A literature review of 92 papers on ISCH revealed that it primarily affects middle-aged women, with common symptoms including motor issues, instability, and sensory disturbances.
- The study highlights that surgical treatment is the primary approach for ISCH, emphasizing the importance of recognizing its clinical signs for better diagnosis and outcomes.
Tick-borne infectious agents (TBIAs) include several bacteria and protozoa that can infect vertebrates, including humans. Some of these agents can cause important diseases from both a public health perspective, such as Lyme disease, and from an animal health and production viewpoint, such as Texas fever. In Chile, several studies have assessed the presence of tick-borne disease agents in vectors and mammal hosts, mainly in the northern regions, but few studies have assessed the presence of these agents in Central and Southern Chile.
