Epithelial Tight Junctional Changes in Colorectal Cancer Tissues by Xuexuan Wang, Owen Tully, Benjamin Ngo, Marc Zitin, James M. Mullin

“…Tight junctions (TJ) are well known for their function in controlling paracellular traffic of ions and molecules. It has become increasingly evident that TJs play a crucial role in maintaining cell-cell integrity, and the loss of cell junctional sealing could involve itself in the processes of carcinoma and cancer metastasis. …”

Synthesis and study of superacid ZrO–SiO–AlO mixed oxide by Olena Inshina, Alexander Korduban, German Tel'biz, Volodymyr Brei

“…The generation of superacidity in ZrO 2 –SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 matrix could be explained by formation of coordinatively unsaturated Zr 4+ ions which are strong L-sites. It was shown that superacid ZrO 2 –SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 efficiently catalyzes polymerization of tetrahydrofuran in the presence of acetic anhydride at 40℃ with 68% yield of polytetramethyleneoxide acetate.…”

Relationship between clay minerals and microorganisms in underground hydrogen storage reservoirs: a mini review by Allison Clark, Shikha Sharma

“…Microbial-induced chemical weathering, through the production of organic acids and redox reactions, can degrade clay minerals, releasing metal ions and destabilizing the storage site. These interactions raise concerns about the long-term storage capacity of UHS, as microbial processes could lead to H2 loss and caprock degradation, compromising the storage system’s effectiveness. …”
