Single-atom iron on silicon carbide surfaces as catalyst of Fischer-Tropsch-type reactions in astrophysical environments by Gerard Pareras, Albert Rimola

“…., formaldehyde (H2CO) and methanol (CH3OH). Using density functional theory (DFT), we model the catalytic cycle on the most stable β-SiC (110) surface, revealing that H2CO forms efficiently with relatively low activation barriers (up to 18.3 kcal mol−1), while, in contrast, CH3OH formation faces a significant energy barrier (32.6 kcal mol−1) in space. …”

Comparative genomics reveals low levels of inter- and intraspecies diversity in the causal agents of dwarf and common bunt of wheat and hint at conspecificity of Tilletia caries an... by Somayyeh Sedaghatjoo, Bagdevi Mishra, Monika K. Forster, Yvonne Becker, Jens Keilwagen, Berta Killermann, Marco Thines, Petr Karlovsky, Wolfgang Maier

“…The genomes of the three species displayed microsynteny with up to 94.3% pairwise aligned regions excluding repetitive regions. The majority of functionally characterized genes involved in pathogenicity, life cycle, and infection of corn smut, Ustilago maydis, were found to be absent or poorly conserved in the draft genomes and the biosynthetic pathway for trimethylamine in Tilletia spp. could be different from bacteria. …”

An emulsion electrospun nanofibrous scaffold loaded with glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor for nerve regeneration by Holly N. Gregory, Holly N. Gregory, Louis D. V. Johnson, Louis D. V. Johnson, Louis D. V. Johnson, James B. Phillips, James B. Phillips

“…IntroductionDamage to peripheral nerves is common in major trauma cases, and current options for surgical repair are often not sufficient to promote satisfactory recovery of sensory and motor function. In this study we describe the development of a biomaterial scaffold with aligned nanofibrous topography and encapsulated neurotrophic factor, designed to direct and enhance axonal regeneration and so effectuate faster return of function.MethodsGlial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) was loaded into aligned polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibres using emulsion electrospinning, and the biomaterial was characterised alongside random and aligned PCL scaffolds without growth factor.Results and discussionThis fabrication route produced fine and uniform nanofibres with sustained release of GDNF over at least four weeks, and the aligned topography was able to orientate the growth of Schwann cells. …”
