A simple process of solvent evaporation is shown to produce highly ordered arrays of cylindrical
microdomains in block copolymers with long‐range lateral order (see Figure). Solvent …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging thermally-driven technology that poses a lot of
promise in desalination, and water and wastewater treatment. Developments in membrane …

Tailoring the membrane to have superhydrophobicity, coupled with high porosity, adequate
pore sizes and narrow pore size distribution, and thin thickness could find potential …

Interest in “green nanotechnology” in nanoparticle biosynthesis is growing among
researchers. Nanotechnologies, due to their physicochemical and biological properties, have …

There is a great deal of interest in the identification of biomarkers that are closely associated
with disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but few biomarkers have been …

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increases the production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) from mouse
macrophages via a κB site within the IL-12 p40 promoter. In this study, we found that oxidized …

The creation of a new material often starts from the design of its constituent building blocks
at a smaller scale. From macromolecules to colloidal architectures, to granular systems, the …

Rapid population growth has resulted in imbalance in the supply and demand of fresh water
for human consumption. As the sources of fresh water from surface water and fresh …

In the present study, we examined the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of implanted
human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in ischemic stroke. …

The role of carbon nanotube (CNT) as filler in a membrane matrix became popular recently.
CNT is believed to solve the trade-off issue between permeability and selectivity, and also …
