Co-occurrence of direct and indirect extracellular electron transfer mechanisms during electroactive respiration in a dissimilatory sulfate reducing bacterium by Liyuan Hou, Rebecca Cortez, Michael Hagerman, Zhiqiang Hu, Erica L.-W. Majumder

“…Here, we utilized double-chamber MFCs with carbon cloth electrodes to investigate the extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DvH), a model SRB, under varying lactate and sulfate concentrations using different DvH mutants. Our MFC setup indicated that DvH can harvest electrons from lactate at the anode and transfer them to cathode, where DvH could further utilize these electrons. …”

Purification of mesenchymal stromal cell‐derived small extracellular vesicles using ultrafiltration by Rui Lei, Shuai Ren, Hua Ye, Zhanfeng Cui

“…In this study, the feasibility and effectiveness of ultrafiltration for MSC‐sEV isolation and purification are studied, and the effects of key process design and operational parameters, including the membrane pore size, transmembrane pressure (TMP), stirring speed (shear rate), feed concentration, are quantified using a stirred cell setup. Results revealed that 500 kDa molecular weight cut‐off (MWCO) polyethersulfone membrane demonstrated superior suitability for MSC‐sEV separation, yielding higher purity and productivity compared to 100 and 300 kDa MWCO membranes of the same material. …”

Comprehensive multi-metric analysis of user experience and performance in adaptive and non-adaptive lower-limb exoskeletons. by Krongkaew Supapitanon, Tanyaporn Patathong, Chaicharn Akkawutvanich, Arthicha Srisuchinnawong, Worachit Ketrungsri, Poramate Manoonpong, Patarawan Woratanarat, Chanika Angsanuntsukh

“…From eight participants, the intelligent mode-driven exoskeleton (adaptive exoskeleton) showed a significantly lower velocity, stride, and step lengths than the default mode-driven exoskeleton (non-adaptive exoskeleton). This setup significantly increased anterior pelvic tilt during mid-swing at normal speed (3.69 ± 1.77 degrees, p = 0.001) and high speed (2.52 ± 1.69 degrees, p = 0.004), hip flexion during stance phase with ankle dorsiflexion, and used less oxygen consumption at high speed (-2.03 ± 2.07 ml/kg/min) when compared to the default one. …”

Drought induced metabolic shifts and water loss mechanisms in canola: role of cysteine, phenylalanine and aspartic acid by Raed Elferjani, Shankar Pahari, Raju Soolanayakanahally, Krista Ballantyne, Eiji Nambara

“…Surprisingly, both canola cultivars responded similarly to the metabolites (cysteine, sucrose, and ABA) and epicuticular waxes, indicating that they were not reliable stress markers in our test setup. However, the higher level of phenylalanine in the drought-tolerant canola cultivar is suggestive that this amino acid is important for adaptation to drier climates. …”
