Guidelines for the standardization of pre-analytical variables for salivary biomarker studies in Alzheimer's disease research: An updated review and consensus of the Salivary Biomarkers for Dementia Research Working Group.

There is a pressing need for accessible biomarkers with high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis to facilitate widespread screening, particularly in underserved groups. Saliva is an emerging specimen for measuring AD biomarkers, with distinct contexts of use that could complement blood and cerebrospinal fluid and detect various analytes. An interdisciplinary, international group of AD and related dementias (ADRD) researchers convened and performed a narrative review of published studies on salivary AD biomarkers.

STOUT V2.0: SMILES to IUPAC name conversion using transformer models.

Naming chemical compounds systematically is a complex task governed by a set of rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). These rules are universal and widely accepted by chemists worldwide, but their complexity makes it challenging for individuals to consistently apply them accurately. A translation method can be employed to address this challenge.

Evaluating value-added biochemical and biodiesel production from Chlorococcum humicolo algal biomass in phycoremediation of textile dye effluents.

This study investigates the potentials of Chlorococcum humicolo algal biomass for the extraction of valuable biochemical and biodiesel production, with focus on the phycoremediation of textile dye effluents. The alga was cultivated in three media: CFTRI medium, combined dye effluent, and dye bath effluent in the laboratory. The highest cell count (254 × 10 cells/ml) and lowest oil content (16.

Is Kraft Pulping the Future of Biorefineries? A Perspective on the Sustainability of Lignocellulosic Product Development.

By reflecting on the history and environmental impact of conventional biorefining, such as kraft pulping, we aim to explore important questions about how natural polymers can be more sustainably sourced to develop bio-products and reduce reliance on plastics. Since the Industrial Revolution, chemical pulping processes have enabled the mass production of cellulosic products from woody biomass. Kraft pulping, which dominates within modern pulp and paper mills, has significantly contributed to environmental pollution and carbon emissions due to sulfurous byproducts and its high water and energy consumption.
