- Research on dendritic cell (DC) activation has mostly relied on animal models, highlighting the need for human-based in vitro models due to differences in DC types across species.
- Scientists have created a full-thickness human skin tissue model with Langerhans cell (LC) and dermal dendritic cell (DDC) surrogates from human leukemia cell lines to study their activation.
- When exposed to nickel sulfate or DNCB, the model showed significant increases in CD1a positive cells, indicating that these treatments trigger a response leading to DC migration and activation within a short time frame.
Article Synopsis
- Concerns over environmental impacts of biowaste disposal are driving interest in lactic acid bacterial fermentation and optimizing digital bioreactors to mimic biochemical reactions.
- Utilization of spectroscopic techniques (NIR and MIR) and High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) led to successful estimations of glucose and lactic acid contents during fermentation of glucose and biowaste substrates.
- The study found high accuracy in predictive models for glucose substrates; however, the same models struggled with biowaste substrates, suggesting a potential area for improvement in fermentation process monitoring.
Nickel-iron (oxy)hydroxide (NiFeOH) stands as a cutting-edge nonprecious electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the intrinsic thermodynamic instability of nickel and iron as anode materials in pure water-fed electrolyzers poses a significant durability challenge. In this study, an anion exchange ionomer coating was applied to NiFeOH to modify the local pH between a membrane and an electrode.
