Summary: An adaptable HRP/GOX-Glu system was established in this study, which achieved efficient degradation of pollutants through the ping-pong bibi mechanism of HRP and sustained release of H2O2 catalyzed by glucose oxidase (GOX). The HRP/GOX-Glu system showed higher stability compared to the traditional HRP/H2O2 system due to the persistent release of H2O2 in-situ. The study also identified the contributions of high valent iron, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide free radical in the removal and degradation of Alizarin Green (AG).

Summary: This paper presents a novel film-shaped micropump array for biomedical perfusion. The concept, design, fabrication process, and performance evaluation using prototypes are described. The micropump array uses a planar biofuel cell to generate an open circuit potential (OCP), which then drives electro-osmotic flows (EOFs) in multiple through-holes. This thin and wireless array can be easily installed in small locations and act as a planar micropump in solutions containing glucose and oxygen. It is expected to revolutionize perfusion techniques for biological fluids in small locations.

Summary: The development of microbial fuel cells based on electro-catalytic processes is a new and sustainable approach to energy systems. Microbial fuel cells use microorganisms to transform chemical energy from renewable organic fuels and reduce pollution. However, not all microorganisms can generate sufficient energy. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using Rhizobium anhuiense as a catalyst for microbial fuel cells and found that using menadione as a mediator resulted in the best performance with an open circuit potential of 0.385 mV, maximal power density of 5.5 mu W/cm(2), and anode current of 50 mu A/cm(2) at 0.35 mV.

Summary: This review discusses the development of microbial biofuel cells and how similar principles apply to bioelectronic device development. Microorganism-based amperometric biosensors, with their low specificity, can be used to design microbial biofuel cells that can consume a wider range of chemical fuels. Charge transfer efficiency is a major challenge in biofuel cell development, which can be improved using nanomaterials and specific redox mediators. Additionally, the biocompatibility of conducting polymers with microorganisms is explored, including ways to modify cell-walls/membranes and improve charge transfer efficiency for biofuel cell design.

Summary: ZnO nanostructures with different morphologies and particle sizes were evaluated and applied for the development of an immunosensor. The nanostructures included spherical polydisperse structures, compact rod-like spherical structures, and rod-shaped particles. These ZnO nanostructures were mixed with Nafion solution and drop-casted onto screen-printed carbon electrodes, followed by immobilization of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The affinity interaction of PSA with monoclonal antibodies against PSA was evaluated using the differential pulse voltammetry technique. The detection and quantification limits for anti-PSA were determined for different ZnO nanostructures.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of interaction between SCoV2-S protein and specific antibodies using molecular dynamics, revealing that the formation of immune complexes occurs in two stages. By applying a two-step binding model for kinetic analysis, more precise determination of interaction rate constants was achieved compared to the 1:1 Langmuir binding model. These findings provide deeper insights into the formation of antigen-antibody immune complexes and offer a new approach for evaluating antibody affinity towards antigens.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of a sensor for methylene blue detection using molecularly imprinted polymers. The sensor is designed by molecularly imprinting polypyrrole with methylene blue as a template molecule. Different deposition conditions and the impact of layer durability and thickness were analyzed. The capability of the molecularly imprinted polymer layer to adsorb methylene blue was evaluated using optical absorption changes, and selectivity was monitored using Azure A. Linear relationships were observed in the concentration range of 0.1 μM to 10 mM for methylene blue adsorption.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of paracrine factors secreted by menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) in stimulating chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and protecting cartilage tissue from degradation. The results suggest that MenSCs can stimulate the chondrogenic response in BMMSCs by secreting activin A and TGF-beta 3, and may have a protective effect on cartilage tissue ECM by decreasing the release of GAGs.

Summary: Some drugs classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) cannot be efficiently removed by routine wastewater treatments. A combination of electrocatalysis and a sulfate-based advanced oxidation process via peroxymonosulfate activation has been proven to be an efficient and non-selective method for removing POPs. Perovskites, specifically calcium copper titanate (CCTO), were evaluated as electrode materials due to their unique structural properties and high chemical stability. Through fabrication of porous CCTO anodes with different percentages of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), it was found that the CCTO-30 anode exhibited the highest performance in terms of CuO phase amount, defect percentage, oxidation-reduction peak, and resistance. By using CCTO-30 as anodes in a beaker with PMS, paracetamol was completely decomposed due to copper catalytic cycle activation, leading to the generation of radicals and non-radicals that selectively remove paracetamol.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
