Renewable syngas production from electrified catalytic steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis volatiles by José Juan Bolívar Caballero, Fereshteh Talkhab, Hanmin Yang, Samina Gulshan, Pengcheng Cao, Thomas Lewin, Pär G. Jönsson, Weihong Yang

“…To address these issues, the direct electrification of a 3D-printed FeCrAl heater coated with 15.5 % Ni/Al2O3 was tested in a parametric study in the catalytic steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis volatiles, in order to investigate the effect of the S/B ratio and space–time on the syngas yield and composition. Complete bio-oil reforming was obtained at a biomass feed rate of ≤ 1 g min−1 and a S/B ratio of ≥ 2, and stability close to 100 % was estimated after over four hours of operation. …”

Maintenance of Self-Renewal and Pluripotency in J1 Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells through Regulating Transcription Factor and MicroRNA Expression Induced by PD0325901 by Zhiying Ai, Jingjing Shao, Xinglong Shi, Mengying Yu, Yongyan Wu, Juan Du, Yong Zhang, Zekun Guo

“…Thus, to seek for the crucial miRNA and key regulatory genes that establish ESC properties in MEK/ERK pathway, we performed microarray analysis and small RNA deep-sequencing of J1 mESCs treated with or without PD0325901 (PD), a well-known inhibitor of MEK/ERK signal pathway, followed by verification of western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR verification; we found that PD regulated the transcript expressions related to self-renewal and differentiation and antagonized the action of retinoic acid- (RA-) induced differentiation. …”
