Chemokine-induced stem cell recruitment is a promising strategy for post myocardial infarction treatment. Injection of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) has been shown to attract bone marrow-derived progenitor cells (BMPCs) from the blood that have the potential to differentiate into cardiovascular cells, which sup…

To produce lignocellulosic biofuels economically, the complete release of monomers from the plant cell wall components, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, through pre-treatment and hydrolysis (both enzymatic and chemical), and the efficient utilization of these monomers as carbon sources, is crucial. In addition, t…

The molecular mobility of ibuprofen confined to a mesoporous silica host (MCM-41) of 3.6 nm pore diameter is investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. It is confirmed that crystallization is suppressed; therefore, depending on the temperature, the guest exists in the glassy and supercooled state inside of th…

We have developed a yellow persistent phosphor of Ce 3+ –Cr 3+ -codoped Gd 3 Al 2 Ga 3 O 12 transparent ceramics prepared by a solid-state reaction. The yellow persistent luminescence due to the Ce 3+ : 5d–4f transition was observed even after 460 nm blue-light excitation as well as after UV excitation. The chromatici…

Although SERS spectroscopy, which is sensitive to molecular vibration states, offers label-free visualization of molecules, identification of molecules and their reliable large-area imaging remains to be developed. Limitation comes from difficulties in fabricating a SERS-active substrate with homogeneity over a large…

The polarization of the ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE) decreases upon prolonged cycling. Understanding of this fatigue behavior is of great technological importance for the implementation of P(VDF-TrFE) in random-access memories. However, the origin of fatigue is still ambiguous. Here we investigate fatigue in thin…

A novel phosphorus–nitrogen-silicon polymeric flame retardant (PNSFR) was synthesized via polycondensation and characterized by FTIR, 1 HNMR, and 31 PNMR. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of PNSFR showed that the temperature of 10 wt % weight loss for PNSFR was about 270 °C both under nitrogen and air, which indic…

We propose a tunable strategy for the ultrathin mantle cloak via metasurface. The tunable cloak is implemented by loading varactor diodes between two neighboring horizontal metallic strips which constitute the metasurface. We demonstrate that the varactor diodes enable the capacitive reactance of the metasurface to be…
