Article Abstract
The separation of CO from gas streams is a central process to close the carbon cycle. Established amine scrubbing methods often require hot water vapour to desorb the previously stored CO. In this work, the applicability of MFI membranes for HO/CO separation is principally demonstrated by means of realistic adsorption isotherms computed by configurational-biased Monte Carlo (CBMC) simulations, then parameters such as temperatures, pressures and compositions were identified at which inorganic membranes with high selectivity can separate hot water vapour and thus make it available for recycling. Capillary condensation/adsorption by water in the microporous membranes used drastically reduces the transport and thus the CO permeance. Thus, separation factors of α = 6970 could be achieved at 70 °C and 1.8 bar feed pressure. Furthermore, the membranes were tested for stability against typical amines used in gas scrubbing processes. The preferred MFI membrane showed particularly high stability under application conditions.

The relevance of the hemodialysis procedure is increasing worldwide due to the growing number of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. Taking into account the structure of dialysis polymer membranes is an important aspect in their development to achieve the required performance of hemodialyzers. We propose a new mathematical model of mass transfer that allows hollow-fiber membrane structural parameters to be taken into account in simulating the clearance () of hemodialyzers in a way that does not require difficult to achieve close approximation to the exact geometry of the membrane porous structure.

Objective: This study explores whether hyaluronic acid (HA) of different molecular weights and collagen, given their role in tendon extracellular matrix maintenance, have a synergistic effect on human tendon-derived cells, with the aim to improve the treatment of tendinopathy.
Material: Human monocytes (CRL-9855™) and primary Achilles tendon-derived cells.
Treatment: The collagen/HA ratio was based on the formulation of the commercial food supplement TendoGenIAL™.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a leading cause of low back pain that incurs large socioeconomic burdens. Growing evidence reveals that macroautophagy/autophagy dysregulation contributes to IVDD, but the exact role of autophagy and its regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we found that mechanical overloading impaired the autophagic flux of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and .

Objectives: Deltex1 is a transcriptional target of NFAT that promotes T cell anergy. However, whether Deltex1 affects the properties of regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are involved in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's disease (SjD), is unknown.
Methods: T cells were purified from peripheral blood using a negative selection method.

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected lung transplant recipients (LTR), raising concerns about the risk of developing de-novo HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) after infection, particularly with changes in immunosuppressive treatment.
- A study reviewed 63 LTR diagnosed with COVID-19, categorizing disease severity into mild, moderate, and severe to analyze the impact on HLA DSA production.
- Results indicated no significant changes in antibody levels or de-novo DSA occurrence for most patients over a six-month period post-COVID-19 diagnosis, although a small percentage of those with severe COVID-19 did show new DSA development.
