Electro-antibacterial therapy (EAT) to enhance intracellular bacteria clearance in pancreatic cancer cells
In this study, we investigate the use of electroporation in combination with metronidazole to enhance the clearance of intracellular Fusobacterium nucleatum within pancreatic cancer cells. We explore various parameters, including electric field strength, pulse width, and pulse number to assess the permeability of pancreatic cancer cells infected with F. nucleatum, compared to non-infected cells of the same type. We subsequently quantify the clearance of intracellular bacteria when these pulsing schemes are applied to a suspension of infected pancreatic cancer cells in the presence of metronidazole. Our results reveal disti...

Quantitative determination of dopamine in the presence of interfering substances supported by machine learning tools
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Feb 10;157:108667. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108667. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the field of neuroscience as well as in the clinical setting, the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) is an analyte which is important for research as well as medical purposes. There are plenty of methods available to measure dopamine quantitatively, with voltammetric ones such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) being among the most convenient and simple ones. However, dopamine often occurs, either naturally or because of the requirements of involved enzymatic systems, alongside substances that can influence...

Bioelectrochemical cascade reaction for energy-saving hydrogen production and innovative Zn-air batteries
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Feb 10;157:108666. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108666. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an important half-reaction in electrochemical hydrogen production (EHP) and rechargeable metal-air batteries. However, the sluggish OER kinetics has seriously impeded their performance. Herein, we report a bioelectrochemical cascade system composed of glucose oxidase (GOx)-functionalized N-doped porous carbon nanofibers to replace OER in EHP and rechargeable Zn-air batteries (ZABs) applications. In this cascade system, GOx catalyzes oxidation of glucose to produce value-ad...
