Essential Role of Sperm-Specific PLC-Zeta in Egg Activation and Male Factor Infertility: An Update.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article Review)
Sperm-specific phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ) is widely considered to be the physiological stimulus responsible for generating calcium (Ca) oscillations that induce egg activation and early embryonic development during mammalian ...
Review on recent progress in chitosan/chitin-carbonaceous material composites for the adsorption of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article Review)
Chitosan and chitin are categorized as low cost, renewable and eco-friendly biopolymers. However, they have low mechanical properties and unfavorable pore properties in terms of low surface area and total pore volume that ...
Biorefinery perspectives of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) for hydrogen and valuable chemicals production through wastewater treatment
(
Green Wave Publishing of Canada
, 2020 , Article Review)
The degradation of waste organics through microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) generates hydrogen (H2) gas in an economically efficient way. MEC is known as the advanced concept of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) but requires ...
Pleiotropic role of notch signaling in human skin diseases
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
Notch signaling orchestrates the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis of epidermal cells by strictly interacting with other cellular pathways. Any disruption of Notch signaling, either ...
Early gas kick detection in vertical wells via transient multiphase flow modelling: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Gas influx from reservoir into the wellbore during drilling, tripping, or other operations, is a hazard. In the early stages, the influx may be nearly undetectable, but the kick can rapidly change from a seemingly steady ...
Advanced Routes of Biological and Bio-electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Mitigation Toward Carbon Neutrality
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Changes in the environment due to multiple factors, such as combustion of fossil fuels, heating, transportation, deforestation, etc., have led to more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which eventually led to a rise in ...
Recent advances in cobalt based heterogeneous catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction
(
Elsevier S.A.
, 2020 , Article Review)
The future of the world energy lies in clean and renewable energy sources. Many technologies, such as solar cells, wind turbines, etc., have been developed to harness renewable energies in different forms of fuel. Amongst ...
Graphene quantum dot based materials for sensing, bio-imaging and energy storage applications: a review
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article Review)
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are an attractive nanomaterial consisting of a monolayer or a few layers of graphene having excellent and unique properties. GQDs are endowed with the properties of both carbon dots (CDs) and ...
Methanol Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production Using Polymer Electrolyte Membrane: A Mini-Review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Hydrogen (H2) has attained significant benefits as an energy carrier due to its gross calorific value (GCV) and inherently clean operation. Thus, hydrogen as a fuel can lead to global sustainability. Conventional H2 ...
Microwave-assisted palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions: Generation of carbon-carbon bond
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
Cross-coupling reactions furnishing carbon–carbon (C–C) bond is one of the most challenging tasks in organic syntheses. The early developed reaction protocols by Negishi, Heck, Kumada, Sonogashira, Stille, Suzuki, and ...
