Binary ionic melts formed by a protic ionic liquid (PIL) 1,2,4-triazolium methanesulfonate ([TAZ][MS]) dissolved in methanesulfonic acid are studied as non-stoichiometric electrolytes. The composition-driven structure-property relationship of methanesulfonic acid is explored at varying molar fraction ratios from 0/100 to 10/90, 20/80, and 30/70 by the addition of 1,2,4-triazolium methanesulfonate [TAZ][MS] IL. To unveil molecular characteristics of these mixtures of [TAZ][MS] PIL and CHSOH, we performed classical molecular dynamics simulations at varying temperatures from 293 to 303, 363, and 423 K.

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genodermatosis, characterized both by premature aging and significantly increased risk of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers at an early age. However, limited literature is available on the common histopathological subtypes of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in these patients.

Methods: In this ambispective case series, we recruited patients of XP who had either a currently present skin tumor or previously excised one, provided their histopathological sections were available.

The probiotic potential of is widely recognized, but little is known about its adhesive properties. Hence, this study aims to investigate the adhesion potential and cell surface properties of four human-origin strains (B619/R, B603/Nb, B106, and B637/Nm). We evaluated epithelial adhesion, Extracellular Matrix (ECM) binding, aggregation ability, and cell surface hydrophobicity and used genome analysis for validation.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding reservoir properties and their influence on microbial metabolism can enhance sustainable microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) processes.
  • The hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus petroboostus sp. nov. 101C5, produces metabolites like biosurfactants and solvents that improve oil recovery by altering the physicochemical properties of crude oil and reservoir rocks.
  • In core flood studies, strain 101C5 achieved a 29.5% increase in oil recovery from Berea sandstone under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, highlighting its potential for use in depleted oil wells.
