Abstract

The increasing complexity of environmental pollution nowadays poses a severe threat to the public health, which attracts considerable attentions in searching for nanomaterials of multiproperty. In this study, mesoporous silica of KIT-6-encapsulated bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), an intrinsically multifunctional material exhibiting bunched structure in the composites, are facilely prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Subsequently, the produced materials of multifunctionality were applied for photocatalysis, antibacterial test, and simultaneous determination of heavy metals including lead and cadmium. A combination of physiochemical characterizations have revealed that the BiOCl-KIT-6 composites exhibit enlarged yet refined surface morphology contributing to the improved photocatalytic ability with a band gap of 3.06 eV at a molecular ratio of 8Bi-Si. Moreover, the antibacterial activities of our BiOCl-KIT-6 composites were explored, and possible antimicrobial mechanism related to the production of reactive oxygen species was discussed. Furthermore, a sensitive electrochemical determination of heavy metals of lead and cadmium using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry was also achieved. The composites-modified glassy carbon ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
