Iloprost, a prostacyclin analogue, has been effective in preventing renal dysfunction among transplant patients. We hypothesized that iloprost is protective against renal dysfunction in different settings, in which similar underlying mechanisms of nephrotoxicity occur. We conducted a literature review, and discuss the…
Slip on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces has been widely studied. Previous studies show a wide range of disagreement over the slip on the smooth hydrophobic surfaces. We have studied the slip on smooth hydrophilic silicon dioxide and hydrophobic octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) surfaces immersed in deionized (DI) wa…
High-Tc , flexible MgB2 -nanowire-based superconducting arrays are fabricated via a direct pen writing method on both copper foils and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates. Such superconducting arrays constitute a new approach for fabricating superconducting devices. The realization of a PDMS-based device demonstr…
Abstract The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of key importance in the field of electrochemical energy production. Remarkable catalytic properties of “metal‐free” graphene nanoribbons towards the ORR were suggested in previous reports. Herein, we show that the electrocatalytic properties of an undoped supposedly “me…
Nanomedicines have provided fresh impetus in the fight against cancer due to their selectivity and power. However, these agents are limited when delivered intravenously due to their rapid clearance from the bloodstream and poor passage from the bloodstream into target tumours. Here we describe a novel stealthing strat…
BACKGROUND: Analyzing the amino acid sequence of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) in an evolutionary context can yield novel insights on the functional role of disordered regions and sequence element(s). However, in the case of many IDPs, the lack of evolutionary conservation of the primary sequence can hampe…
A novel strategy to synthesize a functional mesoporous material for efficient removal of cesium is reported. Specifically, Prussian blue derivate-modified SBA-15 (SBA-15@FC) was prepared by photoinitiated thiol-ene reaction between thiol-modified SBA-15 and pentacyano(4-vinyl pyridine)ferrate complex. The effects of w…
A series of poly(3-hexylthiophene)- block -polyisoprene (P3HT- b -PI) diblock copolymers (DBCP) and polyisoprene- block -poly(3-hexylthiophene)- block -polyisoprene (PI- b -P3HT- b -PI) triblock copolymers (TBCP) with accurately controlled molecular architecture were synthesized via highly efficient coupling reaction…
Heptalene, a nonaromatic, bicyclic 12 π-electron system with a twisted structure, is of great interest with regard to its potential Hückel aromaticity in the two-electron oxidized or reduced forms. The synthesis of thiophene-fused heptalene 5 from the reductive transannular cyclization of bisdehydro[12]annulene 4, and…
A straightforward strategy to prepare nanoporous metal oxides with well-defined shapes is highly desirable. Through thermal treatment and a proper selection of metal-cyanide coordination polymers, nanoporous nickel-cobalt mixed oxides with different shapes (i.e., flakes and cubes) can be easily prepared. Our nanoporou…
Here we propose facile and scalable synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) dendritic platinum nanoparticle at room temperature by exploiting an oil-in-water emulsion. The interfacial synthesis selectively provides platinum nanoparticle with 2D structure in high yield by controlling key reactants such as the amount of oleic…
Many biological functions at cell level are mediated by the glycocalyx, a dense carbohydrate-presenting layer. In this layer specific interactions between carbohydrate ligands and protein receptors are formed to control cell-cell recognition, cell adhesion and related processes. The aim of this work is to shed light o…
We perform structural analysis experiments on the chiral magnet Cr1∕3NbS2, in which Cr3+ ions are inserted between hexagonal NbS2 layers. The noncentrosymmetrical nature of the inserted Cr3+ appears as a distorted CrS6 octahedron. Under the application of hydrostatic pressure, the lattice shrinks significantly along t…
A nanoscale terbium-containing metal-organic framework (nTbL), with a layer-like structure and [H2 NMe2 ](+) cations located in the framework channels, was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The structure of the as-prepared sample was systematically confirmed by powder XRD and elemental analysis; the morpholog…
Novel SiO2‐supported Cr–V bimetallic oxides catalysts, which were capable of one‐pot synthesizing polyethylene with bimodal molecular weight distribution, had been successfully developed. These catalysts were prepared with a simple introduction of vanadium oxide onto the traditional Phillips CrOx/SiO2 catalyst. The po…
A novel substrate design is presented for scalable industrial production of filamentary coated conductors (CCs). The new substrate, called 'two level undercut-profile substrate (2LUPS)', has two levels of plateaus connected by walls with an undercut profile. The undercuts are made to produce a shading effect during su…
Abstract Metal–organic frameworks, MOFs, are a class of crystalline porous metal–organic hybrid materials which have originally been developed for applications in gas storage and separation. Here, we demonstrate that due to the enormous chemical flexibility of these molecular materials, they also provide an excellent…
The crystal structure and hydrogenation properties of Gd 2 Co 7 -type Y 2 Ni 7 were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Sievert’s method, and neutron powder diffraction. Unlike Nd 2 Ni 7 and La 2 Ni 7, Y 2 Ni 7 exhibits three plateau pressures and forms three hydrides at room temperature. The maximum hydrogen cap…
mRNA is translated with a non-uniform speed that actively coordinates co-translational folding of protein domains. Using structure-based homology we identified the structural domains in epoxide hydrolases (EHs) and introduced slow-translating codons to delineate the translation of single domains. These changes in tran…
In this work, independent radial diffusion at arrayed nanointerfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (nanoITIES) was achieved. The arrays were formed at nanopores fabricated by focused ion beam milling of silicon nitride (SiN) membranes, enabling the reproducible and systematic design of five arrays with…
