The studies on facilitated pertraction of PABA with Amberlite LA-2 and 1-octanol as phase modifier indicated the increase of the process efficiency and, implicitly, of the transport capacity of the liquid membrane by adding KOH in the stripping phase. Thus, the use of KOH led to the diminution of the kinetic resistance of the reextraction process, with positive effects on the acid final mass flow and permeability factor. Compared to the similar pertraction systems containing NaOH in the stripping phase and in direct correlation with the pertraction parameters (pH-gradient between the feed and stripping phases, carrier and alchohol concentrations inside the liquid membrane), the final mass flow can be accelerated for about 1.9 times, and the permeability through liquid membrane can be enhanced for about 1.5 times in presence of KOH.

Xist RNA initiates X inactivation as it spreads in cis across the chromosome. Here, we reveal a biophysical basis for its cis-limited diffusion. Xist RNA and HNRNPK together drive a liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) that encapsulates the chromosome.

Background: Rodent models have been widely used to investigate skin development, but do not account for significant differences in composition compared to human skin. On the other hand, two-dimensional and three-dimensional engineered skin models still lack the complex features of human skin such as appendages and pigmentation. Recently, hair follicle containing skin organoids (SKOs) with a stratified epidermis, and dermis layer have been generated as floating spheres from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).

With the rapid development of graphene industry, low-cost sustainable synthesis of monolayer graphene oxide (GO) has become more and more important for many applications such as water desalination, thermal management, energy storage and functional composites. Compared to the conventional chemical oxidation methods, water electrolytic oxidation of graphite-intercalation-compound (GIC) shows significant advantages in environmental-friendliness, safety and efficiency, but suffers from non-uniform oxidation, typically ~50 wt.% yield with ~50% monolayers.

A kind of sulfur-doped carbon dots was prepared which were encapsulated with polydopamine (S-CDs@PDA) that has fluorescence response on polyethylene (PE) microplastics (MPs). Modified membranes were constructed using S-CDs@PDA for MP detection. Through heating and vacuum filtration process, yellow emission from the modified membrane appeared because of the combination between S-CDs@PDA and PE MPs.
