Article Abstract
Bimetallic alloys made from immiscible elements are characterized by their tendency to segregate on the macroscopic scale, but their behavior is known to change at the nanoscale. Here, we demonstrate that in the Ru-In system, In atoms preferentially decorate the surface of 6 nm Ru nanoparticles, forming Ru-In superficial immiscible alloys. This surface decoration dramatically affects the catalytic performance of the system, even at small atomic fractions of In added to Ru. The interfaces between Ru and In enabled unexplored methanol productivity from CO hydrogenation, which outperformed not only the individual constituents but also ordered RuIn intermetallic alloys. Our work highlights that the formation of superficial immiscible alloys could offer new insights into the understanding and design of heterogeneous catalysts.

Poly(glycine-alanine) (polyGA) is one of the polydipeptides expressed in Frontotemporal Dementia and/or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 1 caused by C9ORF72 mutations and accumulates as inclusion bodies in the brain of patients. Superficially these inclusions are similar to those formed by polyglutamine (polyQ)-expanded Huntingtin exon 1 (Httex1) in Huntington's disease. Both have been reported to form an amyloid-like structure suggesting they might aggregate via similar mechanisms and therefore recruit the same repertoire of endogenous proteins.

We investigated the morphological and histological changes in eel esophagus during the course of freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW) transfer and identified multiple types of mucus cells from tissues that were fixed using Carnoy's solution to retain the mucus structure. The FW esophageal epithelium is stratified and composed of superficial cells, mucus cells, club cells (exocrine cells with a large vacuole), and basal cells. Two types of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive mucus cells were identified, and they can be further distinguished by the periodic acid-thionin Schiff/KOH/PAS (PAT) method, indicating that C7/9- and C8-sialic acids were produced.

The main characteristic of biosurfactants is their property of reducing the superficial and interfacial tension between two immiscible liquids of different polarities. The main obstacle to the application of biosurfactants is the high production costs, the use of alternative substrates being indicated to solve this problem. This work report the production of biosurfactant by Bacillus subtilis LB5a on a pilot scale using cassava wastewater as the substrate, and the study of the parameters related to its production.

Cyclosporin-A (CsA) is a pharmaceutical product which has a polypeptide structure and immunosuppressive activity. It may be administered in the form of liposomes, and this has a series of advantages. Therefore, in this paper, the possible interaction between CsA and phospholipids is studied.
