Article Synopsis
- * A new biochar composite, made from chitosan, ferrous sulfate, and sodium sulfide, demonstrated a strong capability to adsorb phosphate, achieving a rate of 49.32 mg/g at room temperature.
- * The adsorption process is primarily influenced by three-dimensional diffusion and involves various mechanisms such as electrostatic adsorption and surface chemical precipitation, indicating the composite's potential for effective phosphorus removal and guiding future adsorbent development.
Astrocytes are a heterogenous group of macroglia present in all regions of the brain and play critical roles in many aspects of brain development, function and disease. Previous studies suggest that the B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X protein (BAX)-dependent apoptosis plays essential roles in regulating neuronal number and achieving optimal excitation/inhibition ratio. The aim of the present paper was to study whether BAX regulates astrocyte distribution in a region-specific manner.
