JoVE’s Post

🌊 Ongoing Call for Contributions! 🌊 Dear friends and colleagues, Ana I. C. and I are pleased with the interest shown so far for our upcoming JoVE Method Collection titled "Towards a Reliable Risk Assessment of Microplastics and Nanoplastics: Addressing Methodological Gaps and Experimental Challenges." We’ve already received abstracts focusing on novel methods and analyses for microplastics detection in aqueous samples -key areas for advancing risk assessment frameworks for micro- and nanoplastics. If you’re conducting research in these areas or marine and aquatic ecotoxicological models and concentration-response methodologies, please consider submitting an abstract to join this collection! We’re looking forward to seeing diverse methods and perspectives that can drive scientific progress. https://lnkd.in/e5fjfrvn #microplastics #nanoplastics #ecotoxicology #riskassessment #science #research

Failure is inevitable in scientific discovery, but it's our unwavering commitment to improving lives that drives progress. Our core value of Optimism empowers our research and development (R&D) teams to push forward, no matter the obstacles. Below, read how Cindy Nguyen, an associate scientist in Biology, applies Optimism each day:

Dear friends and colleagues, To date very few journals publish video articles in our field, despite this type of article being of paramount importance for sharing techniques and improving their replicability. For this reason, I have opened a Methods Collection with JoVE on “Advances in Molecular Enzymology: Methods and Applications”: https://lnkd.in/d7m74HE7 The purpose of this collection is to offer a comprehensive overview of methodology in Molecular Enzymology. The most recent Impact Factor for JoVE (ISSN 1940-087X) is 1.2, according to the 2023 Journal Citation Reports. JoVE articles are indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, SciFinder, EMBASE, and Scopus. Authors submit a traditional text manuscript, after which JoVE handles all the video production. If you are interested in contributing a video article on your methods, either message me or submit an abstract here: https://lnkd.in/dESQcsNb Looking forward to reviewing your abstracts! If not interested, please share to your network to spread the word and attract potential stakeholders. *There is a partial fee waiver for certain countries (including Egypt)*

Today is the early-decision abstract deadline for #ASBMB25! Submit today and you'll get a decision by Nov. 14. Don’t miss the chance to present your research alongside other outstanding scientists who are driving #biochemistry and #molecularbiology forward and making future discoveries and applications possible.  ➡️Emily Ulrich's tips for writing an abstract: https://bit.ly/3YHtyHj. ➡️Submit your abstract: https://bit.ly/3YGLQIx.

Our research article reached 100 reads with 14 citations Achieved on October 15, 2024 that was published just about a 1y. ago. Article: Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of AgNPs stabilized with Calendula officinalis flower extract I think it is a very good start for this level of journal in Scopus. Briefly, The present research is devoted to optimizing the green synthesis technology of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) with antibacterial properties for further external use. Standardized marigold flowers extract was utilized as reducing and stabilizing agent, which has significantly richer composition of phytochemical groups compared to its aqueous extracts. A comparative analysis of the physicochemical properties and sedimentation stability of AgNPs obtained by exposure of the reaction mixture to: UV radiation, microwave radiation and high temperature using UV–Vis spectrophotometry and Zeta potential analysis were carried out. pH effect of the reaction mixture on size distribution of AgNPs was evaluated. A good stability of AgNPs to aggregation was observed for samples generated under ultraviolet irradiation with continuous stirring. The particle size distribution obtained by UV irradiation with an average size of 80 nm and PDI 0.26. The storage of AgNPs at 4 °C resulted in some aggregation of small size AgNPs that led to the increase the absorbance at 430 nm. Thus, after one month of storage there was no following increase of the absorbance and there was non-significant aggregation over 3 months’ study. Antibacterial activity of AgNPs against S. aureus and E. coli was confirmed. https://lnkd.in/d8sfZAPa #SU #SatbayevUniversity #KazNMU #Pharmacy #synthesis #nanoparticles #AgNPs #pantextract

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my doctoral research Laboratory-based article Open Access in Environmental Processes. I extend my sincere gratitude to my supervisors, Dr. Edoardo Bertone and Professor Rodney Stewart. I would also express thanks to Associate Professor Helen Stratton, Professor Qin Li, and Dr. Dechao Chen, who are also co-authors of this study. This paper would not have been possible without their valuable insights and guidance. This research's laboratory experiments compared the growth, concentrations, and related fluorescence signatures of E. coli, enterococci, and indole produced under different media and L-tryptophan addition scenarios. The results are promising in relation to the development of a remote, in situ Faecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB) monitoring tool. While monitoring only the E. coli fluorescence region would offer poor selectivity, concurrently monitoring the fluorescence region for indole would exclude non-bacterial contamination events. At the same time, higher selectivity in relation to faecal contamination could be achieved by combining simple site-specific assessments and calibration, additional sensors, and/or fluorescence signal variation analysis. https://lnkd.in/g7YRDcMQ
