It remains challenging to build up a multifunctional coating onto biodegradable magnesium (Mg) for biomedical use. In this study, a small amount of titanium dioxide (TiO) has been incorporated in situ into phytic acid (PA) coating when it was chemically deposited on Mg substrate targeted to biodegradable implant applications. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was utilized in the liquid phase deposition of TiO to improve the quality of coating (PA&TiO-UV). This PA&TiO-UV coating was compact, thicker and more hydrophilic compared with sole PA or TiO coating. The PA&TiO-UV coated Mg presented a seven times lower electrochemical corrosion current density as well as significantly slower in vitro degradation rate up to 500 h in phosphate buffer saline as compared to the direct PA coated Mg. In addition, the UV irradiation showed remarkably to promote the MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells adhesion and proliferation especially after 7 days of culture. Further, the PA&TiO-UV coating adhered more firmly on Mg substrate after 90° bending than the other coatings, indicating a better mechanical compliance on Mg substrate. These results make this PA&TiO-UV complex coating bodes well for biodegradation slowing-down, osteo-compatible as well as mechanical compliant modification of Mg for orthopedic implants applications.

Diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) are widespread in marine environments, posing potential threats to marine ecosystems, shellfish aquaculture, and human health. Despite their prevalence, knowledge of the stability of dissolved DSTs in seawater is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of bacteria, temperature, and irradiation on the stability of dissolved okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) in seawater.

Sticker-type transparent antireflective film (STAF) is applied to perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to reduce the reflection and improve the light-trapping ability of PSCs. However, the development of STAF is hindered by many factors, such as expensive materials, low actual service life, unsatisfactory antireflective effect, and a lack of research on stability. This work proposes an ultraviolet (UV)-resistant enhanced sticker-type nanostructure acrylic resin antireflective film (SNAAF), which is applied to the incident surface of PSCs.

Objective: MiRNAs and lncRNAs are important regulators in the process of skin photoaging. In this study, we investigated the expression changes and interactions between miR4298 and lncKRTAP5-6-3 in chronically UVB-damaged human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) cells and explored miR4298-MAPK/ERK signaling pathway-Cathepsin D-lncKRTAP5-6-3 mechanisms in photoaging cells.
Methods: HaCaT cells were irradiated with 12 mJ/cm UVB once a day for 7 days.

Mechanically responsive polymer materials have garnered significant interest due to their unique ability to respond to external forces, leading to groundbreaking applications in visual stress mapping and damage detection. However, their use in fibers remains relatively unexplored. In this study, a mechanoresponsive polymer is synthesized by incorporating a spiropyran (SP) mechanophore into a polyurethane backbone.

The (PSS) experiment was part of the European Space Agency's mission and was conducted on the International Space Station from 2014 to 2016. The PSS experiment investigated the properties of montmorillonite clay as a protective shield against degradation of organic compounds that were exposed to elevated levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in space. Additionally, we examined the potential for montmorillonite to catalyze UV-induced breakdown of the amino acid alanine and its potential to trap the resulting photochemical byproducts within its interlayers.
