Plant lignocellulose constitutes an abundant and sustainable source of polysaccharides that can be converted into biofuels. However, the enzymatic digestion of native plant cell walls is inefficient, presenting a considerable barrier to cost-effective biofuel production. In addition to the insolubility of cellulose and hemicellulose, the tight association of lignin with these polysaccharides in...

Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) are a subgroup of fuel that use enzymes as catalysts. EBFCs utilize physiological substrates such glucose or lactate great interest implantable wearable power sources to activate medical devices. This contribution introduces the working principles and summarizes recent progress in EBFC-enabled biosensors, pulse generators, therapy. Biosensors with self-powered ch...

Current biofuel production methods use engineered bacteria to break down cellulose and convert it to biofuel. A major challenge in microbial fuel production is that increasing biofuel yields can be limited by the toxicity of the biofuel to the organism that is producing it. Previous research has demonstrated that efflux pumps are effective at increasing tolerance to various biofuels. However, w...

Enzymes are remarkable catalysts that lie at the heart of biology, accelerating chemical reactions to an astounding extent with extraordinary specificity. Enormous progress in understanding the chemical basis of enzymatic transformations and the basic mechanisms underlying rate enhancements over the past decades is apparent. Nevertheless, it has been difficult to achieve a quantitative understa...

The performance of biofuel cells (BFCs) depends on the number electrons that can be harvested from one fuel molecule by bioanode, as well many other factors. Regular, one-enzyme bioanodes usually harvest two per molecule, lowering conversion efficiency chemical energy stored in to electrical energy. In this study, we successfully develop a high-performance BFC with two-enzyme bioanode four oxid...

Considering the ease of isolation and high expansion potential of pulp stem/progenitor cells isolated from wisdom and primary teeth they have been implicated as the most reliable autologous cell source in dental tissue engineering. Meanwhile, different isolation methods have remarkable impacts on the expansion potential of adult stem cells. In enzymatic digestion method extracted teeth as denta...
