Article Abstract
The high efficiency, economy, sustainability and no secondary pollution of U(VI) removal is an important and challenging topic for U(VI) wastewater treatment. Here, the regenerable biohybrids with xanthan gum (XG) stabilized biogenic mackinawite nanoparticles (BX-FeS) were prepared, where XG acted as carrier facilitated the Fe attachment and induced the low size, high stability and activity of nearly spherical FeS nanoparticles. Results showed that BX-FeS kept high activity after storing two years and good performance for U(VI) removal in broad pH range and co-existence of ions, and had greater removal efficiency (97.9 %) than biogenic B-FeS (67.1 %). Moreover, BX-FeS preformed high adsorption capacity in uranium wastewater (658.0 mg/g), and lower cost compared with zerovalent-iron and silica gel. Importantly, BX-FeS maintained high activity within three regeneration cycles driven by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, inhibited the secondary pollution (Fe, SO) of reaction. This study provides a new strategy for sustainable and efficient treatment of U(VI) wastewater.

Climate change driving by greenhouse gas emissions from petroleum-based energy has garnered significant attention. Renewable energy production via a sustainable system that integrates the cell factory and visible-light-driven photocatalysts offers a novel approach for upcycling methane and addressing global energy challenges. Here, an auto-activated biohybrid system driven by solar energy is developed for converting methane into hydrogen fuel, which incorporated thienoviologen (S-MV) and genetically engineered methanotrophic bacteria.

Stem cells are introduced to regenerate some living tissue to restore function and longevity. The study aims to isolate in vitro human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and investigate their proliferation rate on plasma-treated aligned and random polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous scaffolds made via an electrospinning technique to attempt periodontal-like tissue in dental implants. hPDLSCs were isolated from extracted human premolars and cultured on plasma-treated or untreated PCL-aligned and random scaffolds to enhance adhesion of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells as well as interaction and proliferation.
