This paper reviews the mechanisms of carbon sequestration, methods for testing carbon sequestration capacity, and the performance of functional materials, including wollastonite, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Nano-TiO2), graphene oxide (GO), biochar, and cellulose fibers (CS), as well as their performance in cement-based materials.A system bounda
Degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) plays a central role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Throughout life, RPE cells are challenged by a variety of cytotoxic stressors, some of which are cumulative with age and may ultimately contribute to drusen and lipofuscin accumulation.Stressors such as these continually damage RPE ce
