Rapid mercury removal using living indigenous microalgal communities for water treatment applications by Amr Nasr Fekry (22521185)

“…Advanced characterization revealed significant surface modifications, with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showing increased surface roughness, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) indicating involvement of hydroxyl, protein, and carbohydrate functional groups, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) confirming Hg(II) binding to oxygen-containing moieties with distinctive Hg 4f peaks at 101.78 and 105.8 eV. …”

Activation of the unfolded protein response in high glucose treated endothelial cells is mediated by methylglyoxal by Zehra Irshad (18614869)

“…HAECs exposed to high glucose concentration showed increased cellular concentration of MG (2.27 ± 0.21 versus 1.28 ± 0.03 pmol/10⁶ cells, P < 0.01) and formation of MG-modified proteins (24.0 ± 3.7 versus 14.1 ± 3.2 pmol/10⁶ cells/day; P < 0.001). …”

Dihydromyricetin and Salvianolic acid B inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation and enhance chaperone-mediated autophagy by Jia-Zhen Wu (6844793)

“…Immunofluorescence analyses showed increased colocalization between LAMP-1 and LAMP-2A with α-synuclein inclusions after treatment with DHM and Sal B. …”
