Potable water in developing countries often contains levels of toxic metals that exceed the recommended international limits, with impacts on human health. The aim present study was to develop a low cost aerogel synthesised from graphene oxide (GO) cross-linked alginate remove Pb2+ potable water. Aerogels were made by sol-gel composite materials followed freeze drying method. shape aerogels 50 ...

Odors activate lobster olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) through phosphoinositide signaling that appears to target a Na(+)-gated nonselective cation channel. The Na(+)-gated channel is a potential member of the growing family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Here, we test the effect of potential antagonists on the channel in cell-free patches from cultured lobster ORNs. We show t...
