Large amounts of textile waste are generated every year and disposed through landfill or incineration, leading to numerous environmental social issues. In this work from Yixiang Wang Chufan Zhou, the dissolution three typical cotton fabrics (t-shirts, bed sheets jeans) in NaOH/urea aqueous solution, H2SO4 LiCl/DMAc solution was demonstrated. It proves feasibility recycle into biodegradable cell...

Calcium phosphate nanoparticles are suitable as scaffolds for bone regeneration; however, few reports on available calcium phosphate-based biomaterials with an antibacterial property drug carriers. Lei Nie and colleagues developed silver-doped biphasic phosphate/alginate microclusters using the double-emulsions method. The cover image shows SEM micrograph of prepared in which spherical shape su...

The role of microRNA in the aberrant autophagy that occurs in pancreatic cancer remains controversial. Because hypoxia is known to induce autophagy, we screened for differentially expressed microRNAs using a miRNA microarray with pancreatic cancer cells cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. We found that miR-138-5p was among the most downregulated miRNA in hypoxia-stimulated cells, an...
