Layered MOF supported on 2D delaminated MXene (MoTiC) nanosheets boosted water splitting.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have a porous structure, high surface area, and high charge transfer, and they have been regarded as model electrocatalysts. Optimization of the electrocatalytic activity of MOFs is challenging, and an effective strategy for this optimization is the construction of a well-defined interfacial bond bridge. In this work, an approach of composite synthesis is reported for MOF (CoNiNHBDC) with MXenes (MoTiC), as the electrocatalytic properties of MOF can be greatly enhanced with the incorporation of the conductive material MXene.

Laccase and dye-decolorizing peroxidase-modified lignin incorporated with keratin-based biodegradable film: An elucidation of structural characterization, antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Lignin valorization to produce functionalized materials is challenging. This study harnessed the versatile properties of lignin through a grafting reaction involving the aryl hydroxyl group of alkali lignin (AL) and enzymatically modified-alkali lignin (EMAL) using -derived laccase (Lacc) L and -derived dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) with keratin (K) amide group. This reaction was executed utilizing an eco-friendly solvent with the aim of generating thin films.

Recent advances in structural engineering of photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Photocatalysis appears to be an appealing approach for environmental remediation including pollutants degradation in water, air, and/or soil, due to the utilization of renewable and sustainable source of energy, i.e., solar energy.

Laccase cross-linking of sonicated α-Lactalbumin improves physical and oxidative stability of CLA oil in water emulsion.

α-lactalbumin was modified by ultrasound (US, 20 kHz, 43 ± 3.4 W/cm) pre-treatments (0, 15, 30 and 60 min) and laccase cross-linking of sonicated α-lactalbumin was used to evaluate the physical and oxidative stability of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) emulsions. The emulsions prepared with laccase cross-linking US-α-lactalbumin (α-lactalbumin treated with US pre-treatment) and US-α-lactalbumin were scrutinized for oxidative and physical stability at room temperature for two weeks of storage.

Infection Impaired the Structural Integrity and Immune Function of Bursa of Fabricius in Chicken: Implication of Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis.

(MG) induces a dysregulated immune response in the lungs and air ways of poultry. However, the mechanism of MG-induced immune dysregulation is still not completely understood. In the present study, the effect of MG-infection on chicken bursa of fabricius (BOF) is investigated.

Antagonistic Effects Of Baicalin On -Induced Inflammation And Apoptosis By Restoring Energy Metabolism In The Chicken Lungs.

Background: Baicalin possesses potential anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-oxidant activities. In the present study, we attempted to investigate the preventive effects of baicalin against (MG)-induced inflammation, apoptosis and energy metabolism dysfunction in chicken lungs.

Methods: Experimental chickens were randomly divided into 1) control group, 2) MG infection group, 3) MG-infected group treated with baicalin at a dose of 450 mg/kg and 4) baicalin alone treated group (450 mg/kg).
