Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden, led by Professor Felipe Cava, have identified a new family of enzymes that creates a unique type of cross-linking between the building blocks of bacterial cell walls.
Scientists from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed a nanoengineered bioink with improved bonding and cross-linking capabilities for 3D bioprinting of tumor models.
As the executor of life activities, proteins exert their specific biological functions through interactions such as forming protein complexes.
In a question and answer session, four leading ophthalmologists share their experiences with crosslinking, offering pearls that can help peers incorporate the procedure into their practice.
Sodium-ion batteries show promising potential for large-scale energy storage. However, the large size and heavy mass of Na+ always results in huge volume change and inferior electrochemical stability, especially in alloy-type anode materials. Here, molecular engineering of the polymer binders, i.e., cross-linking of poly(acrylic acid) with glycerin (PAA-GLY), reinforces the mechanical properties, eliminates the active protons of PAA, and benefits electrolyte diffusion, thereby remarkably improving electrochemical performance. Using µ-Sn as an example, the cycle life at 2 A g−1 is extended f...
