Article Synopsis
- Chemically irreversible fouling (CIF) and chemical erosion significantly affect the performance and properties of ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) used in desalination, leading to a phenomenon known as membrane ageing.
- The ageing process consists of three stages where desalination rates initially decrease, then increase, and finally decline again, largely influenced by contaminants like anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) and calcium sulfate (CaSO).
- CIF limits cleaning efficiency and alters membrane structure, while chemical erosion damages functional groups and the polymer matrix, affecting key attributes like ion exchange capacity and mechanical strength, thus ultimately influencing the membranes' fouling behaviors.
A potential inhibitory function of draxin in regulating mouse trunk neural crest migration.
In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim
January 2017
Draxin is a repulsive axon guidance protein that plays important roles in the formation of three commissures in the central nervous system and dorsal interneuron 3 (dI3) in the chick spinal cord. In the present study, we report the expression pattern of mouse draxin in the embryonic mouse trunk spinal cord. In the presence of draxin, the longest net migration length of a migrating mouse trunk neural crest cell was significantly reduced.
