Summary: Selenium can become toxic due to its bioaccumulation potential, but can be immobilized by the mineral calcite. The incorporation of Se into calcite can be influenced by the presence of foreign ions in aqueous solution, affecting the precipitation of different phases such as vaterite and aragonite. The aging process of calcium carbonates precipitated from solutions highly supersaturated with respect to CaCO3 and slightly supersaturated with respect to CaSeO3 & BULL;H2O showed that vaterite hosting Se had low crystallinity and the transformation to calcite was inhibited.

Summary: This study utilizes the dielectric properties of ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) to achieve rapid microwave heating of graphite and prepare nanomaterial reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Compared to RGO samples reduced in the presence of ionic liquid (IL) or without ILC, the presence of ILCs leads to a higher reduction percentage in the oxygen content of RGO samples.

Summary: This study discovered a novel organic catalyst 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium pyrrole ([EmIm]Py) that exhibited superior activity and practicality in carbonate synthesis, achieving remarkable efficiency even at low temperature. The catalyst outperformed most reported catalysts in various base-catalyzed reactions and showed potential operability in industrial production of dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The mechanism of propylene carbonate (PC) and methanol interesterification over [EmIm]Py catalyst was proposed through a combination of experimental and theoretical studies.

Summary: Agar hydrogel was used as a diffusion medium and template to control the biomimetic mineralization of CaCO3. The concentration of hydrogel medium mediated the diffusion speed and range of CO- ions, while the presence of Mg2+ ions resulted in the induction of crystal CaCO3. The study showed that hydrogel concentration and Mg2+ ion concentration did not affect the calcite phase of CaCO3, but influenced the morphology and size of the crystals. The research provides valuable insights into the roles of ion supply rate and hydrogel medium in biomimetic mineralization.

Summary: ZIF-8 was successfully synthesized using zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole, and then converted to ZnO/C composite through pyrolysis and calcination. The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and SEM. The results showed that ZnO/C retained the hexagonal polyhedron morphology of ZIF-8 and possessed a porous structure. The improved catalytic performance of ZnO/C was attributed to the synergistic effect of ZnO and the porous carbon skeleton.

Summary: As a promising approach in translational medicine, the decellularization of discarded livers to produce bioscaffolds that support recellularization has potential in overcoming the limitations of conventional liver transplantation. In this study, the researchers investigated the use of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition to preserve the extracellular matrix (ECM) during liver decellularization. The results demonstrated that the application of an MMP inhibitor significantly improved the preservation of ECM components and mechanical properties of the bioscaffolds, which supported cell viability and function in vitro. The study also confirmed that the MMP inhibition led to the inhibition of MMP2 and MMP9, providing a novel method to enhance ECM preservation during liver decellularization.

Summary: Human skin equivalents (HSEs) play a crucial role in tissue engineering. This study introduces a 3D-printed culture insert to apply a static radial constraint on HSEs and examines its effects on tissue characteristics. The results show that the diameter of the culture insert significantly influences tissue contraction, fibroblast and matrix organization, keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal stratification, and basement membrane formation. This study provides important insights for the design of skin tissue engineering.

Summary: This paper reviewed the primary methods for improving the overall properties of biodegradable zinc stents. It discussed the mechanical properties, degradation behavior, and biocompatibility of various improvement strategies. Alloying was found to be the most common, simple, and effective method for improving mechanical properties. Deformation processing and surface modification further improved the mechanical properties and biological activity of zinc alloys. Meanwhile, structural design could endow stents with special properties. Manufacturing zinc alloys with excellent properties and exploring their interaction mechanism with the human body are areas for future research.
