Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-associated component PNAG stimulates the secretion of the immunomodulatory chemokine CXCL10 via Dectin-1 signaling by Reza Gheitasi, Daniel Weiss, Mario M. Müller, Karolin Sommer, Daniela Röll, Alexander Mosig, Mathias. W. Pletz, Oliwia Makarewicz

“…In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of PNAG on the secretion of the CXCL10 chemokine subfamily by peripheral blood mononuclear cells and monocytes and studied the connection to the Dectin-1-Syk-CARD9 signaling pathway, as Dectin-1 is the major pattern recognized by polysaccharide structures. We showed that, in contrast to the major virulence factor surface protein A, PNAG primarily elevates the secretion of CXCL10. …”

Development of hazelnut shell-derived biochar to support a bifunctional MoCo electrocatalyst for HER/OER in alkaline medium by Jaime Ñanculeo, Teresa Andreu, Ignasi Sirés, Andrés Ramírez, Mara Cea, Benjamín Nahuelcura, Gerson Valenzuela, Karla Garrido-Miranda, María Eugenia González

“…Abstract Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the two concurrent reactions for the electrolytic production of green H2, require low-cost and sustainable electrocatalysts for their scale-up, as for example non-noble metals and carbonaceous structures with high surface area. Our hypothesis is that the activated-doped biochar decorated with Mo and Co provides high porosity and active site dispersion, enhancing HER and OER kinetics with low overpotentials and high stability in an alkaline medium. …”
