Zinc has been described as the 'calcium of the twenty-first century'. Zinc-based degradable
biomaterials have recently emerged thanks to their intrinsic physiological relevance …

Background Global climate is changing more rapidly than ever, threatening plant growth and
productivity while exerting considerable direct and indirect effects on the quality and quantity …

Absorbable metals have the potential to serve as the next generation of temporary medical
implant devices by safely dissolving in the human body upon vascular tissue healing and …

Both cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils and drought stress pose a serious
problem for crop quality and human health. Owing to the specific physical and chemical …

Zinc (II) ions are redox-inert in biology. Yet, their interaction with sulfur of cysteine in cellular
proteins can confer ligand-centered redox activity on zinc coordination sites, control protein …

Water based electrolytes enable very high ionic conductivity, and are particularly attractive
for high power density batteries. The main advantages of water-based electrolytes are their …

Acquisition and homeostasis of micronutrients such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) pose specific
challenges. Poor solubility and high reactivity require controlled synthesis and supply of …

The vast majority of the reported work on sensing metal ions is primarily based on
lanthanide containing luminescent MOFs and relatively few have so far addressed transition …

In this study, commercial cellulose membranes were surface coated with alpha‑zirconium
phosphate nanoparticles (α-ZrP-n) to study their impact on the overall removal efficiency of …

This study was conducted to evaluate the levels of trace metals Fe, Cr, Co, Cd, Cu, Ni, Hg,
Zn, and Pb in healthy individuals and patients with thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism …
