Surfactant secretion must be regulated to maintain a low surface tension in the lung during various conditions such as exercise. In vitro studies reveal a slow, unique exocytotic process at the interface of stimulated and constitutive exocytosis. The exocytotic mechanisms and sites of regulation in vivo, however, are still poorly understood.

Nonylphenol (NP), a non-ionic surfactant and potent endocrine disruptor, is known for its environmental persistence, biotic accumulation potential and toxicity. Nonetheless, mechanisms underlying NP modulation of female fertility with potential impact on embryogenesis in the unexposed offspring remain elusive. This study investigates the effects and toxic mechanisms of maternal exposure to NP at varying concentrations (50 and 100 μg/L) on zebrafish (Danio rerio), specifically focusing on ovarian health, reproductive parameters, and early developmental potential in the F1 generation.

Water electrolysis is a green method of storing electrical energy in the chemical bonds of high-energy hydrogen gas (H). However, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) requires a significant kinetic overpotential, limiting the electrolysis rate. Recently, plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been introduced to improve charge transfer at the interface between the OER electrocatalysts and the electrolyte under light illumination.

Allergic rhinitis (AR), common in children and adolescents, involves Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) catalyzing surfactant lipid biosynthesis and suppressing endoplasmic reticulum expression. However, the precise mechanism underlying the impact of LPCAT1 on epithelial cell damage in AR remains elusive. Hence, the present investigation elucidated the potential effect of LPCAT1 on epithelial cell damage in AR by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Over the last decades, the release and occurrence of organic pollutants in aquatic systems have become a major global concern due to their bioaccumulation, toxicity, and adverse effects on the ecosystem. Tetracycline (TC), a widely used antibiotic, is often found at high concentrations in the aqueous environment and tends to bind with the natural colloids. Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the release of surfactants in the environment has increased due to the excessive use of washing and cleaning products.

This study focuses on fabricating photonic crystals (PCs) by surfactant-based particle capture at the gas-liquid interface of evaporating sessile droplets. The captured particles form interfacial films, resulting in ordered monolayer depositions manifesting iridescent structural colors. The particle dynamics behind the ordered arrangement is delineated.
