Summary: Differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry were used to investigate the electrocatalytic effects of graphene derivatives on the oxidation mechanism of acemetacin. The morphology and composition of the surface coatings strongly influenced the electroanalysis of ACM. Density functional theory calculations were performed to analyze the electron density and orbital distribution of ACM to determine the most probable oxidation site. Different oxidation mechanisms were preferred at each modifier layer. Calibration curves were developed for both working electrodes to determine the relationship between ACM oxidation mechanism and analytical usability.

Summary: The study reported the synthesis of a porous composite made from chicken feathers and nickel and cobalt salts, which demonstrated remarkable electrochemical properties for use in supercapacitors and hydrogen and oxygen evolution. The composite showed high specific capacitance, energy density, and power density as a supercapacitor, and also exhibited notable catalytic ability towards HER and OER. The optimal electrocatalyst displayed low overpotentials for both HER and OER, as well as a relatively low cell voltage for overall water electrolysis.

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: 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.
