The separation of two similarly sized proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine hemoglobin (Hb) was carried out using a new type of ion-exchange mixed-matrix adsorber membranes. The adsorber membranes were prepared by incorporation of various types of Lewatit ion-exchange resins into an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer porous structure. The obtained heterogeneous matrices, composed of solid particles surrounded by the polymeric film, display high static and dynamic protein adsorption capacities. The effect of operational parameters such as filtration flow-rate, pH, and ionic strength on the protein separation performances was investigated for cation- as well as anion-exchange adsorber membranes. An average separation factor was calculated by numerical integration of the protein concentration in the permeate curve during the filtration run. High average separation factor values were obtained for BSA-Hb separation at physiological ionic strength with a filtration flow-rate up to 20 1/h per m2, until the protein breakthrough point at 10% of the feed concentration.

We have investigated the adsorption of the amyloid-forming protein α-Synuclein (αSyn) onto small unilamellar vesicles composed of a mixture of zwitterionic POPC and anionic POPS lipids. αSyn monomers adsorb onto the anionic lipid vesicles where they adopt an α-helical secondary structure. The degree of adsorption depends on the fraction of anionic lipid in the mixed lipid membrane, but one needs to consider the electrostatic shift of the serine p with increasing fraction of POPS.

Unlabelled: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological condition that causes brain shrinkage and cell death. This study aimed to identify the role of the NORAD/miR-26b-5p axis in AD. StarBase was used to examine the binding sequences of miR-26b-5p to LncRNA NORAD or its target genes, which were verified by a double luciferase reporter assay.

The clogging of sieving pores due to the complex sewage system of mixed molecules and nanoparticles of different scales is a difficulty in the membrane-based separation process. When the holes are reduced to the point where they can repel small molecules in the contaminants, large-molecule contaminants can adsorb to the holes and decrease the permeability. A similar question remains in new promising graphene oxide (GO) membranes.

Ofloxacin is a commonly used quinolone antibiotic that is also used as a feed supplement in livestock production and in plant disease prevention and treatment. However, the excessive use and abuse of ofloxacin will accumulate along the food chain and endanger human health. Therefore, the development of a simple, rapid, and sensitive detection method for the determination of ofloxacin is critical.

Developing durable IrO2-based electrocatalysts with high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity under acidic condition is crucial for proton exchange membrane electrolyzers. While oxygen defects are considered potentially important in OER, their direct relationship with catalytic activity has yet to be established. In this study, we introduced abundant oxygen vacancies through Re doping in 2D IrO2 (Re0.
