Article Abstract

We investigate active droplets that form at the expense of a chemical fuel in aqueous buffer and vanish autonomously. Dynamic light scattering reveals the scattered intensity, the hydrodynamic radius, and the width of the size distribution with high precision as well as high temporal and spatial resolutions. Comparing the resulting time-dependent behavior of the droplet characteristics with the time-dependent concentration of the anhydrides, the roles of the chemical reaction cycle and of colloidal growth processes are elucidated. The droplet sizes and lifetimes depend strongly on the hydrophobicity of the precursor, and the growth rate is found to correlate with the deactivation rate of the product.

Background: The expression and clinical correlation of BRAFV600E mutation and programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) have been reported, but the conclusions of previous studies are inconsistent. In addition, it has been reported that elevated cathepsin S (CTSS) expression is associated with various cancers. However, there is currently no research on the correlation between CTSS and LCH.

Emulsion formation presents a significant operational challenge in oil production, necessitating the continuous development of novel and effective demulsification methods. However, the lack of a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the formation of these emulsions significantly complicates this process. In this study, we systematically investigated the influence of Ca ions on crude oil emulsions.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major cause of cancer mortality, and effective therapeutic options are limited. MicroRNA‑372‑3p (miR‑372‑3p) has been implicated in HCC, yet its exact role is unclear.

Methods: We established miR‑372‑3p‑overexpressing HCC cell lines (HepG2, SNU‑449, JHH‑4) via lentiviral transduction.

This study aimed to examine the impact of composite enzymatic treatment on the physicochemical properties of oat milk, which would provide an effective strategy to improve the stability of plant-based milk. Oat milks treated with individual α-amylase or in combination with the protein glutaminase were produced. The result indicated that composite enzyme treatment significantly changed the physicochemical properties and significantly improved the stability of oat milk.
