Summary: The replacement of organic solvents and catalytic reactions in water is an emerging issue, with enzyme-mediated reactions in water showing high activity and stereoselectivity. Micellar catalysis is a true alternative approach that provides good activity under mild conditions, with the potential for catalyst and micellar medium recycling.

Summary: This paper outlines two approaches to address the water insolubility and low aggregation stability of BODIPY dyes. By entrapping the dye in micellar coordination clusters or through self-micellization, the water solubility and aggregation stability of BODIPY can be achieved. These approaches also demonstrate the potential use of BODIPY as a supporting molecule and for functional indicators.

Summary: Surfactants self-assemble in aqueous solutions and play a critical role in energy, biotechnology, and the environment. This study uses non-invasive 1H NMR diffusometry to monitor the self-diffusion dynamics of surfactants in micelles and distinguish various topological transitions. The results highlight the unique sensitivity of 1H NMR diffusometry to micelle topological transitions and provide insights for further research.

Summary: This review provides an overview of Adsorptive Micellar Flocculation (AMF) technology for water and wastewater treatment, focusing on the use of anionic surfactants and flocculants to remove organic pollutants. The unique amphiphilic structure of surfactant molecules and their interaction mechanisms are discussed, along with the significance of calculated parameters. Experimental results have shown that AMF can achieve around 90% removal efficiency.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the path switching and selection phenomena in flows of wormlike micellar solutions past three vertically aligned microcylinders in a channel. The study reveals that the flow field is steady and symmetric at low Weissenberg numbers, and the solution passes through all the passages. However, as the Weissenberg number reaches a critical value, the flow field transitions from steady to unsteady and becomes bifurcated. These transitions heavily depend on the micelle breakage rate and the intercylinder gap, providing insights into the path switching phenomena of complex fluids in porous media.

Summary: Correlation and validation between simulated and in vivo gastrointestinal digestion of food compounds is crucial. This study monitored the digestion of milk micellar casein in the porcine upper intestinal tract and found clear similarities between in vitro and in vivo generated peptide profiles, with the in vitro digestion model providing a similar peptide profile to that found in the porcine duodenum.

Summary: In this study, a typical C18 column was coated with a pH cationic charge controllable zwitterionic synthetic surfactant, cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), to generate a mixed mode reversed phase weak ion exchange column. Experimental results showed that the addition of 8.8 x 10 -4 M CAPB to the totally aqueous mobile phase ensured the stability of the surfactant on the column and allowed for the separation of a four-component sulfonamide mixture using micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) in under 11 min.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the thermodynamic effects of several amines on methane hydrate formation, demonstrating their effectiveness in controlling the hydrate formation. The different amines showed varying levels of inhibition on the hydrate formation, with an overall increase in inhibition effect with concentration. The study also compared the inhibition impact of these amines with conventional thermodynamics, indicating their potential as efficient hydrate inhibitors.

Summary: Researchers have developed a Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopic ruler to locate the true sites of reactants in micellar catalysis. By using tetraphenylethylene (TPE) in aggregation-induced emission (AIE) micelles as the FRET donor and Nile red as the FRET acceptor, the TPE steric barriers can be positioned in different locations in the AIE micelles, achieving corresponding catalytic effects. The universality of steric barrier-steered reaction sites in micellar catalysis is further demonstrated by incorporating small nonpolar molecules into commercially available surfactants. These findings open up attractive perspectives for the exploration of new classes of efficient micellar catalysis systems in a variety of reactions.

Summary: This manuscript studied the application of CTAB and CPC for the removal of NGB in synthetic effluent. The solubilization of NGB by single and mixed micellar systems using TX-100 as a surfactant was performed to determine the partitioning extent and Gibbs free energies. The results showed that both CTAB and CPC are effective candidates for NGB removal.

Summary: This study focuses on the interaction between cationic dye methylene blue (MB) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), as well as its mixed micelles with nonionic surfactant Triton X-114 (TX-114). The results show that the mixed micellar system is more effective in removing and solubilizing MB from aqueous systems. However, an increase in the concentration of the nonionic surfactant weakens the dye-surfactant interaction in the ionic-nonionic mixed micellar system.

Summary: Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a known genetic cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that can lead to respiratory problems at a young age. AAT augmentation therapy is currently the only available treatment for AATD, but its efficacy in protecting lung function decline is still under debate.

Summary: Neutrophils play a pathogenic role in COVID-19 by releasing Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) or human neutrophil elastase (HNE). Despite the high levels of HNE and alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALf) samples from COVID-19 patients, the formation of HNE-AAT complex was not observed. Additionally, while binding to histones, AAT does not prevent NET formation or their harmful activity.
