The ability of fungi to withstand a wide range of minerals influences plant nutrition and enhances global biogeochemical cycles of life-essential elements. The fungus-mineral interface plays a key role in weathering, but the specific mechanisms underlying these processes remain poorly understood.Researchers from Tianjin University’s School of Surface-Earth System Science examined fungal-minera...
Recently, a research team led by Professor Wenping Hu from Tianjin University has made a key contribution to exploring the thermally activated delayed fluorescence in an organic cocrystal, which was published online inAngewandte Chemieunder the title of “Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) in an Organic Cocrystal: Narrowing the Singlet-Triplet Energy Gap via Charge Transfer”. T...
An anti-biofouling balanced charged hydrogel that can serve as an excellent immunoprotective material for islet transplantation therapy is developed by Tianjin University research group led by Prof. Zhang Lei, posing a promising treatment for 30 million patients worldwide suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM).Multiple daily exogenous insulin injections are the common treatment for patie...
The research provide isotopic evidence that local, daily photochemical reduction of divalent Hg is of critical importance to the fate of PM2.5-Hg in urban atmospheres.
Professor Yang Dayong led his team and created a novel fluorescent hydrogel that realizes reversible “On/Off” fluorescence of matrix during the observation of 3D cell culture system.
Research teams in Tianjin University with collaborators at UIUC and A*Star have discovered the mechanism by which bacteria living in the human gut convert taurine into hydrogen sulfide.
