Applications of cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years. One conceivable path lies their commercial applications for packaging, which barrier properties will play an important role determining competiveness with conventional materials. This review critically analyzes the performance CNMs acting as a against moisture and oxygen permeation CNM films, CNM-coated polymers papers, CNM-reinforced polymer composites, gives some insights into remaining...
Abstract Purpose: Targeting the protein neddylation pathway has become an attractive anticancer strategy; however, role of death receptor–mediated extrinsic apoptosis during treatment remained to be determined. Experimental Design: The activation and its in MLN4924 human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were evaluated both vitro vivo. expression components apoptotic was determined by immunoblotting analysis downregulated siRNA silencing for mechanistic studies. Results:...
This review highlights the latest research studies about use of lignocellulosic nanocellulose-based composites in applications wastewater treatment and waste-oil remediation.Three types are described, including aerogels, membranes, new wood-based morph-genetic materials.The fabrication modification techniques to prepare these introduced.The effectiveness efficiency adsorption heavy metal ions, dyes, micropollutants, separation oil water, catalytic degradation organic pollutants discussed,...
In recent years, plants in sandy soils have been impacted by increased climate variability due to weak water holding and temperature buffering capacities of the parent material. The projected impact spreads all over world, including New England, USA. Many regions world may experience an increase frequency severity drought, which can be attributed precipitation enhanced loss warming. overall benefits biochar environmental management extensively investigated. This review aims discuss capacity...
Abstract Epigenetic landscapes can shape physiologic and disease phenotypes. We used integrative, high resolution multi-omics methods to delineate the methylome landscape characterize oncogenic drivers of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). found 98% CpGs are hypomethylated across ESCC genome. Hypo-methylated regions enriched in areas with heterochromatin binding markers (H3K9me3, H3K27me3), while hyper-methylated polycomb repressive complex (EZH2/SUZ12) recognizing regions. Altered...
Regardless of their applications, polymers are still considered mechanically weak and functionally insufficient for certain demanding coating adhesive uses. To address those issues, nanomaterials have been extensively studied as reinforcing fillers, which proven to effectively promote the performance polymer coatings/adhesives. However, conventional nanofillers expensive non-biodegradable. Meanwhile, cellulose (CNMs), a class produced from biomass feedstocks, can circumvent drawbacks...
To better preserve food from the interaction with oxygen, moisture, and (light) ultraviolet (UV) radiation, typical polymer film packaging is produced as opaque or metalized sheets. There increasing consumer demand for multifunctional transparent a window to allow viewing of before purchase. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), type sustainable biodegradable material, show great potential by providing good oxygen permeation resistance. However, CNCs are poor in preventing UV light transmission,...
Cotton is a natural fiber containing more than 95% of cellulose. With worldwide cotton consumption continuously increasing, the amount waste generated enormous. Most ends up in landfill or incinerators, resulting huge this excellent resource. In project, was recycled to produce polypropylene nanocomposites. Instead using traditional two-step nanofiber extraction and compounding technique, an integrated process adopted combine nanofibrillation into one step. Results showed that fibers with...
This study was to explore the conversion of low-cost bio-residuals into high value-added cellulose nanocrystals. Two enzymatic hydrolyzed residuals (i.e., HRMMW and HRSPW) were collected from two different bio-ethanol producing processes—hydrolyzing medium-milled wood (MMW) hydrolyzing acid sulfite pretreated (SPW), respectively. The results showed that both contained over 20 wt % glucan with a crystallinity about 30%, confirming existence in well-organized structure bio-residuals....
