A device to measure surface oxygen tension of the palpebral conjunctiva (PcjO2) was developed and tested in 12 mongrel dogs subjected to normoxia, hyperoxia, and hypoxia. Intravascular pressure, hemodynamic, and bulk oxygen transport variables were measured simultaneously with PcjO2 and transcutaneous O2 (PtcO2) and CO2 (PtcCO2). PcjO2 closely paralleled PaO2 as the fractional inspired O2 concentration was changed from 0.21 up to 1.0 and down to 0.05; the correlation coefficient, r, was 0.95 for 305 data sets. During hyperoxia there were no significant hemodynamic or bulk O2 transport changes, but during hypoxia, the cardiac output and O2 extraction increased while PaO2, PtcO2 and PcjO2 fell; O2 delivery and O2 consumption were maintained until just before death.

Biophotovoltaics (BPV) represents an innovative biohybrid technology that couples electrochemistry with oxygenic photosynthetic microbes to harness solar energy and convert it into electricity. Central to BPV systems is the ability of microbes to perform extracellular electron transfer (EET), utilizing an anode as an external electron sink. This process simultaneously serves as an electron sink and enhances the efficiency of water photolysis compared to conventional electrochemical water splitting.

MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) materials with versatile applications in optoelectronics, batteries, and catalysis. To unlock their full potential, it is crucial to characterize MXene interfaces and intercalated species in more detail than is currently possible with conventional optical spectroscopies. Here, we combine ultra-broadband ellipsometry and transmission spectroscopy from the mid-infrared (IR) to the deep-ultraviolet (UV) to probe quantitatively the composition, structure, transport, and optical properties of spray-coated TiCT MXene thin films with varying material properties.

Although stem cell therapies often involve exposure to AGEs, the impact of this environment on extracellular vesicles (EVs) and endothelial cell metabolism remains unclear.
Methods: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were treated with either 0 ng/ml or 100 ng/ml AGEs in a serum-free medium for 48 hours, after which MSC-EVs were isolated.

The natural Z-scheme of oxygenic photosynthesis efficiently drives electron transfer from photosystem II (PSII) to photosystem I (PSI) via an electron transport chain, despite the lower energy levels of PSII. Inspired by this sophisticated mechanism, we present a layered cascade bio-solar cell (CBSC) that emulates the Z-scheme. In this design, chlorophyll derivatives (Chl) act as PSI analogs, while bacteriochlorophyll derivatives (BChl) serve as PSII analogs in the active layer.

Thermal oxidation has a significant effect on the durability of bitumen composites reinforced with carbon nanomaterials. However, the mechanisms of aging resistance and the effect of aging on the chemical properties, morphology, micromechanical properties, and rheology of bitumen with carbon nanomaterials are still unclear. This study investigated the mechanisms of aging resistance underlying the synergistic effects of graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the durability of bitumen composites.
