A portable graphene-based single-atom membrane enables one-step removal of bacteria and heavy metals using a hand-powered vacuum, achieving high efficiency and reusability for off-grid water treatment.

Long-term administration of proton pump inhibitors affected mineral bioavailability and blood parameters in rats, suggesting risks of iron, calcium, and copper deficiency.

Sequential and simultaneous single-cell analysis by ICP-MS and mass cytometry provided comparable biomarker quantification, supporting their use in immunotherapy-related studies.

Gunacins, new compounds from Exobasidium, display strong anti-Leishmania and anti-Trypanosoma effects and also show antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Researchers at IOCB Prague developed a highly precise and ultra-stable fluorescent labeling method that stays attached even inside cells, enabling long-term, reliable tracking of biomolecules.

PCPDTBT nanoparticles generate strong NIR heat and effectively inactivate multidrug-resistant mcr-1-positive E. coli, offering a promising antimicrobial approach.

Copper/PVA films showed strong visible-light antiviral activity against MHV-3. Films with copper microparticles reduced viral load by 43% under illumination, compared with minimal reduction in the dark.

This work introduces residue-based TGA to quantify carboxylate modifications in hyaluronic acid. The method is label-free, functional-group independent, and applicable to diverse polymers.

This study presents a multimethod strategy to quantify citrate ligands on iron oxide nanoparticles using TGA, CHN, qNMR, and RP-HPLC, showing how selective methods improve accuracy and prevent overestimation.

IOCB Prague scientists have developed light-driven molecular motors that remain fully functional even when anchored to metal surfaces, marking a major step toward controllable nanoscale machines.
