Biomineralization proteins are widely used as templating agents in biomimetic synthesis of a variety of organic-inorganic nanostructures. However, the role of the protein in controlling the nucleation and growth of biomimetic particles is not well understood, because the mechanism of the bioinspired reaction is often…
Decellularized human dermis has been used for a number of clinical applications including wound healing, soft tissue reconstruction, and sports medicine procedures. A variety of methods exist to prepare this useful class of biomaterial. Here, we describe a decellularization technology (MatrACELL(®)) utilizing a non-de…
BACKGROUND: State-of-the-art protein-ligand docking methods are generally limited by the traditionally low accuracy of their scoring functions, which are used to predict binding affinity and thus vital for discriminating between active and inactive compounds. Despite intensive research over the years, classical scorin…

In this work, we demonstrate enhanced light harvesting in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with gold nanocubes of controlled shape. Silica-coated nanocubes ( [email protected] 2 nanocubes) embedded in the photoanodes of DSSCs had a power conversion efficiency of 7.8% relative to 5.8% of reference (TiO 2 only) device…
We present an ab-initio derived force field to describe the structural and mechanical properties of metal-organic frameworks (or coordination polymers). The aim is a transferable interatomic potential that can be applied to MOFs regardless of metal or ligand identity. The initial parametrization set includes MOF-5, IR…
Molecular chaperones are an essential part of the machinery that avoids protein aggregation and misfolding in vivo. However, understanding the molecular basis of how chaperones prevent such undesirable interactions requires the conformational changes within substrate proteins to be probed during chaperone action. Here…
We report a hybrid energy cell that can simultaneously or individually harvest wind, solar, and chemical energies to power some electronic devices. By utilizing the wind driven relative rotations between a polytetrafluoroethylene film and an etched Al film attached on two acrylic tubes, the fabricated triboelectric na…
The evolution of amniotes has involved major molecular innovations in the epidermis. In particular, distinct structural proteins that undergo covalent cross-linking during cornification of keratinocytes facilitate the formation of mechanically resilient superficial cell layers and help to limit water loss to the envir…
By embedding noble metal palladium (Pd) into the interfacial layer matrix of graphene (GR) and semiconductor CdS, we have successfully constructed ternary CdS–(GR–Pd) nanocomposites with intimate interfacial contact. The CdS–(GR–Pd) nanocomposites show remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity toward selective redox…
Holey reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets were formed by one-pot hydrothermal treatment of graphene oxide (GO) at a dilute concentration (0.25 mg ml−1). The holes were generated through a carbon gasification reaction with the steam created in the hydrothermal system. The perforated structure provides not only sufficie…
Detection of trace amounts of explosive materials is significantly important for security concerns and pollution control. Four multicomponent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs-12, 13, 23, and 123) have been synthesized by employing ligands embedded with fluorescent tags. The multicomponent assembly of the ligands was uti…
A new catalytic system was developed for the selective conversion of biomass-derived furfural to cyclopentanone in aqueous solution. CuZnAl catalysts with different Cu/Zn molar ratios (0.5, 1, 2, and 3) and calcination temperatures (350, 500, and 700 °C) were investigated, and the CuZnAl-500–0.5 catalyst (Cu/Zn = 0.5,…

Chemical looping reforming partially oxidizes methane into syngas through cyclic redox reactions of an active lattice-oxygen (O 2– ) containing redox catalyst. The avoidance of direct contact between methane and steam and/or gaseous oxygen has the potential to eliminate the energy consumption for generating these oxid…
The spectrum of ischaemic cardiomyopathy, encompassing acute myocardial infarction to congestive heart failure is a significant clinical issue in the modern era. This group of diseases is an enormous source of morbidity and mortality and underlies significant healthcare costs worldwide. Cardiac regenerative therapy, w…
The synthesis of a planarized trinaphthylborane with partially fused structure is presented. This compound shows not only high chemical and thermal stability but also sufficient Lewis acidity to form Lewis adducts with pyridine derivatives in solution. The B-N Lewis adducts exhibit unprecedented photodissociation beha…
Small intestine submucosa (SIS) has emerged as one of a number of naturally derived extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials currently in clinical use. In addition to clinical applications, ECM materials form the basis for a variety of approaches within tissue engineering research. In our preliminary work it was found…
The use of manganese oxides as promising candidates for anode materials in lithium ion batteries has attracted a significant amount of attention recently. Here, we develop a general approach to synthesize hollow nanospheres of MnO2, Mn3O4 and MnO, using carbon nanospheres as a template and a reagent. Depending on the…
