Pathogenic LRRK2 regulates centrosome cohesion via Rab10/RILPL1-mediated CDK5RAP2 displacement
(Cell Press, 2022-06-17)
Mutations in LRRK2 increase its kinase activity and cause Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 phosphorylates a subset of Rab proteins which allows for their binding to RILPL1. The phospho-Rab/RILPL1 interaction causes deficits in ...
Confined Crystallization of Polymers within Nanopores
(ACS, 2021-08-03)
Crystallization of polymeric materials under nanoscopic confinement is highly relevant for nanotechnology applications. When a polymer is confined within rigid nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, the ...
Optimal Resting-Growth Strategies of Microbial Populations in Fluctuating Environments
(Public Library of Science, 2011-04-15)
Bacteria spend most of their lifetime in non-growing states which allow them to survive extended periods of stress and starvation. When environments improve, they must quickly resume growth to maximize their share of limited ...
New Uses for Old Needs in the Diaspora: Watching Basque Television in Latin America
(Macquarie University, 2006)
The transformations occurring in the communications media are resulting in the emergence of new uses amongst diasporic and migratory groups. An example of this is found in satellite television, which makes the regular, ...
Fixed Point and Best Proximity Theorems under Two Classes of Integral-Type Contractive Conditions in Uniform Metric Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the existence of fixed points and best proximity points of p-cyclic self-maps on a set of subsets of a certain uniform space under integral-type contractive conditions. The parallel properties of ...
Distance decay 2.0 – A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities
(Wiley, 2022-07)
Aim: Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., beta-diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine beta-diversity is to evaluate directional variation ...
Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells based on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanodots
(Wiley, 2022-06)
The role of graphitic and amorphous nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) as additives for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is investigated. A detailed study of N-CDs: perovskite (PVSK) blends through X-ray diffraction, nuclear ...
Development of Geometry-Controlled All-Orthogonal BODIPY Trimers for Photodynamic Therapy and Phototheragnosis
(American Chemical Society, 2022-05)
We have established an easy synthetic protocol for selectively developing all-orthogonal BODIPY trimers with unprece-dented geometries on the basis of selecting methyl oxidation versus electrophilic formylation of key ...
Crystallization Kinetics and Nanoparticle Ordering in Semicrystalline Polymer Nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2022-03-13)
There has been considerable interest in the nucleation and crystallization of polymers in the presence of nanoparticles (NPs, or nanofillers in general, NFs). Most of the extensive work in this area has focused on anisotropic, ...
Effect of the structural features of biobased linear polyester plasticizers on the crystallization of polylactides
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
This work presents, for the first time, a detailed report on how the nucleation and crystallization of polylactide (PLLA) are affected by biobased aliphatic polyesters plasticizers. Three biobased polyesters were synthesized ...
