Polydopamine modified carbon fiber to improve the comprehensive properties of carbon paper for proton exchange membrane fuel cell.

In this study, polydopamine (PDA) was used to modify functional groups on the surface of carbon fiber (CF), and the effects of different dopamine hydrochloride (DPH) concentrations on the surface morphology, functional groups, contact angle and dispersion stability of CF were studied. Subsequently, the raw carbon paper (RCP), hot-pressed carbon paper (HPCP) and carbon paper (CP) were prepared successively using the modified CF through wet forming, impregnation/hot-pressing, and carbonization methods. The surface morphology, tensile strength, flexural strength, electrical resistivity, air permeability and pore size distribution were analyzed for these materials.

Acetyltransferase P300 Regulates Glucose Metabolic Reprogramming through Catalyzing Succinylation in Lung Cancer.

Aberrant protein post-translational modification is a hallmark of malignant tumors. Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) plays a vital role in cell energy metabolism in various cancers. However, whether succinylation can be catalyzed by acetyltransferase p300 remains unclear.

Recycling of Waste Bamboo Biomass and Papermaking Waste Liquid to Synthesize Sodium Lignosulfonate/Chitosan Glue-Free Biocomposite.

The development of the paper industry has led to the discharge of a large amount of papermaking waste liquid containing lignosulfonate. These lignin black liquids cause a lot of pollution in nature, which runs counter to the current environmental protection strategy under the global goal. Through the development and use of lignosulfonate in papermaking waste liquid to increase the utilization of harmful substances in waste liquid, we aim to promote waste liquid treatment and reduce environmental pollution.

Highly sensitive, wide-pressure and low-frequency characterized pressure sensor based on piezoresistive-piezoelectric coupling effects in porous wood.

Lightweight and highly compressible materials have received considerable attention in flexible pressure sensing devices. In this study, a series of porous woods (PWs) are produced by chemical removal of lignin and hemicellulose from natural wood by tuning treatment time from 0 to 15 h and extra oxidation through HO. The prepared PWs with apparent densities varying from 95.

A joint multi-modal learning method for early-stage knee osteoarthritis disease classification.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and chronic disease. Identifying the early stages of OA disease is important for the treatment and care of patients. However, most state-of-the-art methods only use single-modal data to predict disease status, so that these methods usually ignore complementary information in multi-modal data.

Effects of the Acetyltransferase p300 on Tumour Regulation from the Novel Perspective of Posttranslational Protein Modification.

p300 acts as a transcription coactivator and an acetyltransferase that plays an important role in tumourigenesis and progression. In previous studies, it has been confirmed that p300 is an important regulator in regulating the evolution of malignant tumours and it also has extensive functions. From the perspective of non-posttranslational modification, it has been proven that p300 can participate in regulating many pathophysiological processes, such as activating oncogene transcription, promoting tumour cell growth, inducing apoptosis, regulating immune function and affecting embryo development.

Evaluation of oxy-organosolv pretreatment on lignin extraction from wheat straw.

To develop a characteristic "Lignin-first" strategy, the oxy-organosolv delignification processes under mild conditions were comprehensively investigated. Results showed that lignin yield could achieve about 50 % under the optimum process conditions of ethanol concentration 80 %, temperature 90 °C, liquid to wheat straw ratio 25:1 for powdery-scale substrates, which was 65.0 % higher than that for rod-scale substrates under the same conditions.

An integral method for determining the molecular composition of lignin and its application.

Lignin is a natural and renewable aromatic polymer, but only about 2% of lignin is utilized with high added value. Polydispersity and heterogeneity are the key reasons for the difficulty in separation, fractionation, characterization, purification and utilization of lignin. However, the molecular weight of lignin is still described from the overall perspective of number-/weight-average molecular weight (Mn and Mw), which if far from enough to understand the heterogeneous and dispersed lignin.

Valorization of Rice Straw via Hydrotropic Lignin Extraction and Its Characterization.

Rice straw hydrotropic lignin was extracted from -Toluene sulfonic acid (-TsOH) fractionation with a different combined delignification factor (CDF). Hydrotropic lignin characterization was systematically investigated, and alkaline lignin was also studied for the contrast. Results showed that the hydrotropic rice straw lignin particle was in nanometer scopes.

Lignin dissolution model in formic acid-acetic acid-water systems based on lignin chemical structure.

The separation of lignin from woody biomass and subsequent conversion into useful products requires a solution to the problem of its solubility. The expanded C formula of lignin, along with its atomic and functional groups, was determined by elemental analysis and NMRs spectroscopy. Based on the thus-obtained expanded C formula, the cohesion parameters of lignin dispersion (10.

Molecular characteristics of extractives of Hylocereus undulates stems.

As one of traditional and dominant species of famous fruits in South China, Hylocereus undulates is considered as the important fruit resources, however, the constituent properties of Hylocereus undulates stems have not been known. Therefore, the molecular characteristics of extracts from Hylocereus undulates stems are studied to further utilize the resources. The result showed that there were many toxic substances in the extracts of Hylocereus undulates stems, suggesting that Hylocereus undulates stems should not be used as food.
