Abstract Chemical ecology is the highly interdisciplinary study of biochemicals that mediate behavior organisms and regulation physiological changes alter intraspecific and/or interspecific interactions. Significant advances are often achieved through collaboration chemists biologists working to understand organismal survival strategies with an eye on development targeted technologies for contr...

In line with the prevailing global interest in value extraction from biomass waste streams, current study explored technical feasibility of valorizing apple pomace (WAP) to produce high-value biochemicals 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), lactic acid, and xylitol. Technical was demonstrated via a process simulation that employed experimental data incorporated previously reported approaches literat...

A novel nanocapillary electrophoretic electrochemical (Nano-CEEC) chip has been developed to demonstrate the possibility of zeptomole-level detection of neurotransmitters released from single living cells. The chip integrates three subunits to collect and concentrate scarce neurotransmitters released from single PC-12 cells, including a pair of targeting electrodes for single cells captured by ...

BACKGROUND A critical concern in metabolic engineering is the need to balance the demand and supply of redox intermediates such as NADH. Bioelectrochemical techniques offer a novel and promising method to alleviate redox imbalances during the synthesis of biochemicals and biofuels. Broadly, these techniques reduce intracellular NAD+ to NADH and therefore manipulate the cell's redox balance. The...

Population-based investigations suggest that red blood cells (RBCs) are therapeutically effective when collected, processed, and stored for up to 42 days under validated conditions before transfusion. However, some retrospective clinical studies have shown worse patient outcomes when transfused RBCs have been stored for the longest times. Furthermore, studies of RBC persistence in the circulati...
