Experimental Investigation of a Small-Scale Organic Rankine Cycle Turbo-Generator Supported on Gas-Lubricated Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Kévin Rosset

Waste heat recovery (WHR) is expected to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions from trucks. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential for this application, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. A novel tur ...

Iron sequestration by transferrin 1 mediates nutritional immunity in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jean Philippe Boquete, Igor Iatsenko, Alice Marra, Jasquelin Peña

Iron sequestration is a recognized innate immune mechanism against invading pathogens mediated by iron-binding proteins called transferrins. Despite many studies on antimicrobial activity of transferrins in vitro, their specific in vivo functions are poorl ...

Mechanism(s) of electron transfer and metabolic changes during iron reduction by Clostridium acetobutylicum

Cornelia List

Microorganisms catalyze many of the redox transformations driving the iron cycle in the geosphere. For instance, iron cycling includes the reduction of solid-phase and soluble ferric iron (Fe(III)) to ferrous iron (Fe(II)). However, in order to reduce soli ...

The metabolite BH4 controls T cell proliferation in autoimmunity and cancer

Kai Johnsson, Jairo Alexander Lozano Moreno, Yann Mathieu Pierson

Genetic regulators and environmental stimuli modulate T cell activation in autoimmunity and cancer. The enzyme co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is involved in the production of monoamine neurotransmitters, the generation of nitric oxide, and pain(1,2). ...

Iron phosphate nanoparticles for food fortification: Biological effects in rats and human cell lines

Christian Ludwig, Mohamed Tarik

Nanotechnology offers new opportunities for providing health benefits in foods. Food fortification with iron phosphate nanoparticles (FePO4 NPs) is a promising new approach to reducing iron deficiency because FePO4 NPs combine high bioavailability with sup ...

Iron oxide-mediated semiconductor photocatalysis vs. heterogeneous photo-Fenton treatment of viruses in wastewater. Impact of the oxide particle size

César Pulgarin, Michaël Bensimon, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Siting Liu

The photo-Fenton process is recognized as a promising technique towards microorganism disinfection in wastewater, but its efficiency is hampered at near-neutral pH operating values. In this work, we overcome these obstacles by using the heterogeneous photo ...

Castles fall from inside: Evidence for dominant internal photo-catalytic mechanisms during treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

In this work, the antimicrobial effects of the photo-Fenton process on yeast cells were tested (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), an essential eukaryotic unicellular model of living cells. Near-neutral pH was used in all studies, while iron sulfate and iron citra ...

Virtual reading of a large ancient handwritten science book

Giorgio Margaritondo, Frédéric Kaplan, Alessandra Patera, Fauzia Albertin, Marco Stampanoni

We present a fundamental development step of a new technique to read and digitize ancient handwritten documents. Chemical analysis by x-ray fluorescence and x-ray tomography enabled us to decipher words and drawings from inside a closed, 200-pages 18 th ce ...

Iron regulatory proteins and their role in controlling iron metabolism

Cellular iron homeostasis is regulated by post-transcriptional feedback mechanisms, which control the expression of proteins involved in iron uptake, release and storage. Two cytoplasmic proteins with mRNA-binding properties, iron regulatory proteins 1 and ...

Conditional Deletion of Ferritin H in Mice Reduces B and T Lymphocyte Populations

Liviu Vanoaica, Maike Jaworski

The immune system and iron availability are intimately linked as appropriate iron supply is needed for cell proliferation, while excess iron, as observed in hemochromatosis, may reduce subsets of lymphocytes. We have tested the effects of a ferritin H gene ...

A fast and reproducible method to quantify magnetic nanoparticle biodistribution

Heinrich Hofmann, Usawadee Sakulkhu, Lionel André Maurizi

The quantification of nanoparticles, particularly superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), both in vitro and in vivo has become highly important in recent years. Some methods, such as induced coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy and UV-visible che ...

Fe-59-distribution in conditional ferritin-H-deleted mice

Liviu Vanoaica, Stefan Wagner

The objective was to explore how ferritin-H deletion influences Fe-59-distribution and excretion-kinetics in mice. Kinetics of Fe-59-release from organs, whole-body excretion, and distribution-kinetics of intravenously injected Fe-59 trace amounts were com ...

Electronic Elements Governing the Binding of Small Molecules to a [Fe]-hydrogenase Mimic

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

[Fe]-hydrogenase, one of three types of hydrogenases, activates molecular hydrogen. Here, using DFT computations, we examine the electronic elements governing the binding of small ligands to a recently synthesized [Fe]-hydrogenase biomimic. Computed reacti ...

Intestinal ferritin H is required for an accurate control of iron absorption

Lukas Kühn, Liviu Vanoaica

To maintain appropriate body iron levels, iron absorption by the proximal duodenum is thought to be controlled by hepcidin, a polypeptide secreted by hepatocytes in response to high serum iron. Hepcidin limits basolateral iron efflux from the duodenal epit ...
