Super-resolution microscopy reveals focal organization of ER-associated Y-complexes in mitosis.

During mitotic entry of vertebrate cells, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are rapidly disintegrated. NPC disassembly is initiated by hyperphosphorylation of linker nucleoporins (Nups), which leads to the dissociation of FG repeat Nups and relaxation of the nuclear permeability barrier. However, less is known about disintegration of the huge nuclear and cytoplasmic rings, which are formed by annular assemblies of Y-complexes that are dissociated from NPCs as intact units.

Exploration of the performance of iron-based superhydrophilic meshes for oil-water separation.

This study investigates the oil-water separation capability of iron-based superhydrophilic meshes. It also intends to provide an optimistic view of their potential for industrial application. Oil-water separation performance of the 150 mesh, 300 mesh, and 400 mesh is primarily examined by analyzing the efficiency and speediness of separation as well as the limit of oil intrusion using petroleum based oils.

Recovery of phosphate as hydroxyapatite by fluidized bed homogeneous crystallization technique.

Phosphorous recovery from aqueous solutions gained substantial attention and this not only secure the food demand but also curtail the pollution of freshwater courses. In the current study, authors employed novel fluidized bed homogeneous crystallization (FBHC) technique to granulate the phosphorous as hydroxyapatite (HAP). FBHC technique nurtures the formation of high pure HAP crystals without seed addition and potential technique to recover phosphorous compared to other techniques.

Effective degradation of azo dye from textile wastewater by electro-peroxone process.

Color-producing chemicals emitted from many sources, such as textile or dye manufacturing industries, are a significant concern worldwide. The present study focuses on the electro-peroxone (EP) process for decolorizing a synthetic azo dye, C.I.

Kinesin-14 motors drive a right-handed helical motion of antiparallel microtubules around each other.

Within the mitotic spindle, kinesin motors cross-link and slide overlapping microtubules. Some of these motors exhibit off-axis power strokes, but their impact on motility and force generation in microtubule overlaps has not been investigated. Here, we develop and utilize a three-dimensional in vitro motility assay to explore kinesin-14, Ncd, driven sliding of cross-linked microtubules.
