Higher cationic charge density on nanoparticles is correlated with higher toxicity to bacteria.
Current high-throughput approaches evaluating toxicity of chemical agents toward bacteria typically rely on optical assays, such as luminescence and absorbance, to probe the viability bacteria. However, when applied induced by nanomaterials, scattering absorbance from nanomaterials act interferences that complicate quantitative analysis. Herein, we describe a bacterial assay is free interference can be performed in format 96-well plates. In this assay, were exposed various materials then...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of organic compounds that have attracted global attention for their persistence in the environment, exposure to biological organisms, adverse health effects. There is an urgent need develop analytical methodologies characterization PFAS various sample matrices. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) represents chromatography-free MS method performs laser-based ionization situ analysis on samples. In this...
After charging to a high state-of-charge (SoC), layered oxide cathodes exhibit capacities but suffer from gliding-induced structural distortions caused by deep Li depletion within alkali metal (AM) layers, especially for high-nickel candidates. In this study, we identify the essential structure of detrimental H3 phase formed at SoC be an intergrowth characterized random sequences O3 and O1 slabs, where slabs represent Li-rich layers denote Li-depleted (or empty) that glide slabs. Moreover,...
Biofilm-forming Bacillus subtilis strain NCIB3610 has been reported to show biofilm-mediated beneficial effects when fed Caenorhabditis elegans , including enhanced stress resistance, extended lifespan, and protection against neurotoxic agents. However, biofilm-forming B. presents multiple cell types, thus a thorough characterization of dynamics in the C. gut vivo is necessary understand mechanisms effects. In this study, we utilized an isogenic expressing biofilm reporter P tapA-mKate2...
Gene expression patterns indicate different impacts of charged nanoparticles across two model species.
This article provides our perspective on the analytical challenges in nanotoxicology as field is entering its third decade.
Extending the depth-of-charge (DoC) of layered oxide cathode presents an essential route to improve competitiveness Na-ion battery versus commercialized LiFePO
Polyelectrolyte (PE) wrapping of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) is a standard method to control NP surface chemistry and charge. Because excess polyelectrolytes are usually employed in the modification process, it critical evaluate different purification strategies obtain clean final product thus avoid ambiguities source effects on biological systems. In this work, 4 nm diameter gold (AuNPs) were wrapped with 15 kDa poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), three applied: (a) diafiltration or...

This highlight outlines recent methodologies that integrate engineered nanomaterial research and development with life-cycle assessment.
This highlight outlines the complexity of nanoparticle surface charge-dependent interactions across a variety biological systems.
By focusing on four recent publications, this highlight reveals mechanisms underlying nanoparticle-induced ROS generation and the resulting cellular oxidative stress.
The selective 4e–/4H+ reduction of dioxygen to water is an important reaction that takes place at the cathode fuel cells. Monomeric aromatic tetrapyrroles (such as porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and corroles) coordinated Co(II) or Co(III) have been considered oxygen catalysts due their low cost relative ease synthesis. However, these systems repeatedly shown be for O2 by less desired 2e–/2H+ pathway yield hydrogen peroxide. Herein, we report initial synthesis study a tetrapyrrole complex based...
d-alanine (d-Ala) and several other d-amino acids (d-AAs) act as hormones neuromodulators in nervous endocrine systems. Unlike the endogenously synthesized d-serine animals, d-Ala may be from exogenous sources, e.g., diet intestinal microorganisms. However, it is unclear if capability to produce d-AAs varies among different microbial strains gut. We isolated individual microorganisms of rat gut microbiota profiled their d-AA production vitro, focusing on d-Ala. Serial dilutions contents...
