TL;DR: The efficiency of a batch microwave-assisted ammonia heating system was investigated as pretreatment for sweet sorghum bagasse and its effect on porosity, chemical composition, particle size, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation into ethanol evaluated.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the hydrogel can be used to quantitatively encapsulate water-soluble enzymes (e.g., horseradish peroxidase) by manipulating the sol-gel transition and the enzymatic activity of HRP remain unperturbed after encapsulation at 37 °C for up to 7 d, suggesting that the polypeptoid hydrogels a promising synthetic platform for tissue engineering or protein storage applications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nanoformulated microRNA (miRNA) conjugates activated via photo exposure can lead to the induced osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (hASCs) in vivo.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface morphological changes of the fusion of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polychlorinated polyethylene (CPE), polyoxidized polyethylenes (OPE), and PVC/CPE/OPE compounds were studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the natural mechanical strength of materials is highly dependent on the crystal structure, and four different silicate-derived ceramics (diopside, akermanite, monticellite, and merwinite) have been studied.
