Under Water Superelastic Porous Nanofibrous Sponge for Efficient RNA Separation and Purification.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

October 2024

Key Laboratory of Textile Fiber and Products, Ministry of Education, Hubei International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Base of Intelligent Textile Materials & Application, Wuhan Textile University, Wuhan 430200, China.

Developing monolithic materials for chromatography columns with a novel interconnected porous structure is vital for the enhancement of the separation efficiency of RNA purification processes. Herein, a porous nanofibrous sponge (PNFS) is constructed by freeze molding and freeze-drying a nanofiber dispersion with ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer nanofibers as the skeleton, chitosan (CS) and polyethylenimine (PEI) as the binders, and glutaraldehyde (GA) as the crosslinking agent. The results show that when the CS content of the dispersion is 1.

Sucrose Esters as Oleogelators in Mono or Binary Structured Oleogels Using Different Oleogelation Routes.

Gels

May 2023

Science des Aliments et Formulation, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, ULiège, 5030 Gembloux, Belgium.

Sucrose esters (SE) have been investigated as structuring agents in oleogels. Due to the low structuration power of SE as single agent, this component has recently been explored in combination with other oleogelators to form multicomponent systems. This study aimed to evaluate binary blends of SEs with different hydrophilic-lipophilic balances (HLBs) with lecithin (LE), monoglycerides (MGs) and hard-fat (HF), according to their physical properties.

Cell membrane lipid composition, especially cholesterol, affects many functions of embedded enzymes, transporters and receptors in red blood cells (RBC). High membrane cholesterol content affects the RBCs' main vital function, O and CO transport and delivery, with consequences on peripheral tissue physiology and pathology. A high degree of deformability of RBCs is required to accommodate the size of micro-vessels with diameters significantly lower than RBCs.

Lipid Membrane Flexibility in Protic Ionic Liquids.

J Phys Chem Lett

June 2022

School of Chemistry and University of Sydney Nano Institute, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia.

Here, we determine by neutron spin echo spectrometry (NSE) how the flexibility of egg lecithin vesicles depends on solvent composition in two protic ionic liquids (PILs) and their aqueous mixtures. In combination with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and fluorescent probe microscopy, we show that the bending modulus is up to an order of magnitude lower than in water but with no change in bilayer thickness or nonpolar chain composition. This effect is attributed to the dynamic association and exchange of the IL cation between the membrane and bulk liquid, which has the same origin as the underlying amphiphilic nanostructure of the IL solvent itself.
