Increasing attention has been given to nanobiocatalysis for commercial applications. In this study, laccase was reversibly immobilized onto Cu(ΙΙ)- and Mn(ΙΙ)-chelated magnetic microspheres and successfully applied to remove bisphenol A (BPA) from water. The results indicated that the loading of laccase onto the metal-ion-chelated magnetic microspheres was approximately 100mg/g. After five successive adsorption-desorption cycles, the laccase adsorption capacities did not change. In comparison with free laccase, the thermal and storage stabilities of immobilized laccase were significantly improved. Immobilized laccase exhibited a high removal efficiency for BPA under the combined actions of biodegradation and adsorption. Greater than 85% of BPA was removed under optimum conditions. The effects of various factors on the BPA removal efficiency of immobilized laccase were analysed. The results showed that metal-ion-chelated magnetic microspheres have great potential for industrial applications.

Colloids can be used either as model systems for directed assembly or as the necessary building blocks for making functional materials. Previous work primarily focused on assembling colloids under a single external field, where controlling particle-particle interactions is limited. This work presents results under a combination of electric and magnetic fields.

FeO is a cost-effective and strong magnetic core, meanwhile polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs) are considered to have excellent performance and biocompatibility in separation and material fields. Therefore, the aim was to prepare magnetic microspheres (P(DES-co-St)@FeO) with FeO as the core and PDESs (choline chloride/acrylic acid, 1:2; choline chloride/itaconic acid, 1:1)-styrene (St) copolymer as the shell for binding of target protein. The resulting microspheres exhibited ideal magnetic responsiveness (14.

Swift screening of Salmonella-contaminated food is crucial for timely prevention and control of foodborne illness outbreaks. A novel phage receptor binding protein (RBP 41) was previously identified and characterized from phage T102. This study functionalized RBP 41 onto magnetic beads (MBs) and quantum dot microspheres (QDMs) to form magnetic separation and fluorescent probes, respectively.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between voxel-based dosimetric variables derived from Y-90 PET/MRI and hypertrophy observed in the left lobe after radioembolization and to investigate if there is any difference in hypertrophy induced by glass versus resin microspheres.

Methods: Voxel-based dosimetry-derived variables and their relationship with the change of the standardized future liver remnant (ΔFLR) was investigated with linear regression models. To compare and evaluate the discriminatory power of the dosimetric variables, ROC analyses were utilized.

We present an innovative platform designed to mimic the mucociliary clearance system, an essential defense mechanism in the respiratory tract. Our system utilizes PDMS and iron powder to fabricate micro-ciliary arrays that dynamically respond to alternating magnetic fields. The cilia exhibit an asymmetric beating pattern under a cyclically varying magnetic field, which propels microspheres directionally in a fluid medium, simulating the movement of mucus.
