[email protected] Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are high molecular weight polymers that microorganisms secrete into their extracellular environment. EPS serves as the carrier of the ...

Our work is centered on the cell wall and associated extracellular polymers of algae. We are interested in what these algal extracellular matrices can tell us about: 1) the evolution of the land plant ...

Today, synthetic polymers produced in the petrochemical industry from crude oil are used in many contexts including plastics, textile fibres, adhesives and paints. But with future production of ...

However, many modern phones now commonly feature lithium-polymer (Li-poly) batteries, a suitable alternative for a wide variety of consumer electronic gadgets. This certainly isn’t a fact to ...

Toxic "forever chemicals" have been found in drinking water samples from around the world, new research has warned. PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, are a class of ...

Sell conducts research in the areas of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, particularly focusing on the potential for electrospinning to create extracellular matrix analogue scaffolds for ...

cell-cell adhesion or parasit-host interactions is due to interactions between carbohydrates from the extracellular system and and receptors from the respective cell surface. Cellular receptors are in ...

For many people, mornings can be stressful. In fact, cortisol, our body's stress hormone actually spikes in the morning by about 70%. So right off the bat, it seems like mornings are going against us.

Your support makes all the difference. Scientists discovered PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances), chemicals that do not break down in nature, in more than 99 per cent of bottled water samples sourced ...

Specific molecular property of lignin in trees determines difficulty of using microbial fermentation to turn trees and other plants into industrial chemicals. Trees are the most abundant natural ...

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors show potential in reducing tau protein buildup, offering new therapeutic avenues for neurodegenerative diseases like tauopathies.
