Summary: This study explores the synthesis mechanism of Covetics and confirms the crucial role of carbon-metal species in the reaction. Experimental characterization shows that Covetic metals have significantly improved mechanical and electrical properties compared to pure metals. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals different carbon-metal lattice structures, and Raman spectra and theoretical calculations suggest the possibility of aluminum-graphene and silver-graphene bonding.

Summary: Microbial enzymes, particularly carbohydrases, have gained significant attention due to their stability and potential applications in areas such as bioenergy, biofuel production, and biobleaching. Isolating novel microbes from harsh environments has become a major focus for scientists. This review highlights the importance and properties of carbohydrases, specifically amylase, cellulase, laccase, pectinase, and xylanase, and explores their applications, production optimization, molecular approaches for enhanced production, and future biotechnological perspectives. Green and sustainable catalytic conversion strategies using enzyme nanoparticles are also discussed.

Summary: Primary cutaneous lymphomas (CLs) are a diverse group of lymphomas that originate in the skin without extracutaneous involvement. CLs differ significantly from systemic lymphomas in their clinical presentation, histopathology, and biological behavior, necessitating different treatment approaches. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to aid in the diagnosis and management of CLs by analyzing whole-slide pathology images and automating manual processes. While AI applications in CLs are understudied, promising results have been found in skin cancers and systemic lymphomas, providing a foundation for further exploration in CLs.

Summary: Additive manufacturing, particularly using renewable natural polymers and synthetic materials, shows great potential in the manufacturing, pharmaceutical, food, and biomedical industries. Among these materials, lignin, which is a renewable bio-based raw material, is receiving significant attention due to its amorphous macromolecular structure and beneficial properties. However, the complex polymeric and amorphous structure of lignin presents challenges for its utilization in 3D printing. This review summarizes the use of lignin in the preparation of ink for 3D printing and discusses its merits, limitations, and future perspectives.
