Millions of tons plastics enter the oceans yearly, and they can be fragmented by ultraviolet mechanical means into nanoplastics. Here, we report direct observation nanoplastics in global ocean water leveraging a unique shrinking surface bubble deposition (SSBD) technique. SSBD involves optically heating plasmonic nanoparticles to form Marangoni flow concentrate suspended onto surface, allowing visualization using electron microscopy. With co-deposited SSBD, surface-enhanced Raman...

Pretreatment with 0.5 mM salicylic acid (SA) for 3 days significantly enhanced the growth and tolerance to subsequent drought stress (PEG-6000, 15%) in wheat seedlings, manifesting as increased shoot root dry weights, decreased lipid peroxidation. Total proteins from leaves exposed (i) SA pretreatment, (ii) stress, (iii) treatment plus drought-stress treatments were analyzed using a proteomics method. Eighty-two stress-responsive protein spots showed significant changes, of which 76...

Skin regeneration is an important area of research in the field tissue-engineering, especially for cases involving loss massive areas skin, where current treatments are not capable inducing permanent satisfying replacements. Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) have been shown to differentiate in-vitro into both mesenchymal lineages and non-mesenchymal lineages, confirming their transdifferentiation ability. This versatile differentiation potential, coupled with ease harvest, places ASC at...

Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are found in various tissues and can proliferate extensively vitro. MSCs have been used preclinical animal studies clinical trials many fields. Adipose derived (ASCs) several advantages compared to other for use cell-based treatments because they easy isolate with relative abundance. However, quantitative approaches wound repair using ASCs limited of lack models which allow quantification. Here, we addressed the effect topically delivered by analysis...

Salinity is an important environmental factor that affects the health of aquatic animals, when salinity level above tolerance threshold can pose a significant threat to survival animals. As trace element necessary for animal growth, selenium participates in body's antioxidant reaction, and protect animals from oxidative stress damage. Biological methods synthesizing nanoparticles (bio-Se-NPs) bacteria are safe, inexpensive, accessible. Therefore, we synthesized using Lactobacillus plantarum...
