Applied machine learning for predicting the properties and carbon and phosphorus fate of pristine and engineered hydrochar by Shiyu Xie, Tao Zhang, Siming You, Santanu Mukherjee, Mingjun Pu, Qing Chen, Yaosheng Wang, Esmat F. Ali, Hamada Abdelrahman, Jörg Rinklebe, Sang Soo Lee, Sabry M. Shaheen

“…FeCl3 impregnation increased Fe-phosphate content, while it reduced H/C and O/C ratios and hydroxyapatite P content, and therefore improved C stability and P availability in the HC-Fe as compared to HC, particularly under lower pH (4), temperature of 220 ℃, and at 120 min. The generalized additive ML model outperformed the other models for predicting the HC properties with a correlation coefficient of 0.86. …”

Experimental Validation of Antiobesogenic and Osteoprotective Efficacy of Ginsenoside CK via Targeting Lipid and Atherosclerosis Pathways by Md. Niaj Morshed, Reshmi Akter, Imran Mahmud, Ah-Yeong Gwon, Jin Woo Jeang, Yeong-Geun Lee, Dae Won Park, Deok Chun Yang, Yeon Ju Kim, Se-Chan Kang

“…Using 3T3-L1 adipocytes in vitro assessments, CK could effectively decrease intracellular lipid accumulation, inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme, increase 2-NBDG glucose uptake, reduce inflammation-associated cytokines (<i>TNFα</i>, and <i>IL-6</i>), adipogenic regulatory genes (<i>PPARγ</i>, <i>FAS</i>, <i>C/EBPα</i>), lipogenic gene <i>LPL</i>, and increase the expression of thermogenic gene <i>UCP1</i>. Additionally, CK treatment induced osteoblast development in MC3T3-E1 cells as shown by increased mineralization and calcium distribution, collagen content, alkaline phosphatase activity, and decreased inflammatory cytokines <i>TNFα</i>, and <i>IL-6</i> and increased the regulated expressions of osteogenic genes including <i>Runx2</i>, <i>ALP</i>, <i>BGLAP</i>, <i>OCN</i>, and <i>Col1a1</i>. …”

Synergistic photothermal conversion and visible-light photodegradation of antibiotic in S-type TiO2 derived Ti3C2-MXene loaded on NaYF4: Tm3+, Er3+, Yb3+ @BiOI by Seyyedeh Fatemeh Hosseini, Mir Saeed Seyed Dorraji, Shiva Mohajer, Seyedeh Narges Saeedi, Masoumeh Kianfar, Alexandr V. Koshelev, Nataliya A. Arkharova, Denis N. Karimov

“…It can be attributed to the synergistic photocatalytic and photothermal effects triggered by NIR light. In addition, the broad photoresponse range of TiO2 and the Schottky junction formed by Ti3C2 MXenes between TiO2 and BiOI facilitate charge separation while reducing photo-generated electron-hole pair recombination. …”
