Vitamin D modulates human macrophage response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA by Cervantes, Jorge L., Oak, Esther, Garcia, John, Liu, Hongfei, Lorenzini, Paolo A., Batra, Deepika, Chhabra, Arvind, Salazar, Juan C., Roca, Xavier

“…Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a facultative intracellular pathogen that infects macrophages where it avoids elimination by interfering with host defense mechanisms, including phago-lysosome fusion. Endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) generate Type I Interferons (IFNs), which are associated with active tuberculosis (TB). …”

Nitrifying niche differentiation in biofilms from full-scale chloraminated drinking water distribution system by Cruz, Mercedes Cecilia, Woo, Yissue, Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…In cluster HD, with more biomass, chemical reactions involving nitrite increased the MCA demand, releasing ammonia and allowing more nitrifiers to grow, like AOA and NOB. From this study, we conclude that an MCA residual gradient along the DWDS drives and shapes the microbial community assembly and should be considered when designing effective disinfection strategies.…”

In-situ monitoring of oil emulsion fouling in ultrafiltration via electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS): influence of surfactant by Tian, Ju, Trinh, Thien An, Kalyan, Muppalla Naga, Ho, Jia Shin, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Therefore, this study provided clear evidence that the surfactant oppositely charged to the membrane (i.e., CTAB) adsorbed extensively initially to give negligible flux decline, which was not the case for the surfactants that were similarly negatively charged like the membrane. This only lasted for 0.5 h beyond which fouling became pronounced per dictated by DLVO interaction energy.…”

Direct reuse of electronic plastic scraps from computer monitor and keyboard to direct stem cell growth and differentiation by Shi, Pujiang, Tan, Chiew Kei, Wu, Zhuoran, Gabriel, Jean-Christophe P., Srinivasan, Madhavi, Lee, Jong-Min, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Interestingly, compared to commercial tissue-culture treated plastics and in a competitive adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation environment, ADSCs cultured on the keyboard and light diffuser plastics favoured bone cells formation while the grating-like microstructures of the prismatic sheet promoted fat cells differentiation via the process of contact guidance. …”
