The role of the coherence length for the establishment of global phase coherence in three-dimensional arrays of ultra-thin quasi-one-dimensional superconducting Pb and NbN nanowires

, 2017
We have fabricated 5 nm ultra-thin NbN nanowires that form a dense and regular array in the linear channels of mesoporous SBA-15 silica substrates. Bulk NbN is a well-known classical superconductor with Tc of 16 K.

Thermo‐Fluorescent Bactericidal Quantum Dots Based Smart Multifunctional Textiles via Molecular Surface Engineering and 3D‐Printed Interlocked Architectures

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A versatile approach is presented for fabricating smart multifunctional textiles by integrating thermo‐fluorescent carbon dot/polymer nanocomposite coatings with 3D‐printed interlocked architectures. The fabrics exhibit temperature‐responsive fluorescence, durable hydrophobicity, strong antibacterial and antioxidant activity, and enhanced UV protection.

Biomolecular condensates in photosynthesis and metabolism

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2020
The transient assembly or sequestration of enzymes into clusters permits the channeling of metabolites, but requires spatiotemporal control. Liquid liquid phase separation (LLPS) has recently emerged as a fundamental concept enabling formation of such assemblies into non-membrane bound organelles.

Inhibition of IFN-γ-dependent antiviral airway epithelial defense by cigarette smoke [PDF]

, 2010
Background Although individuals exposed to cigarette smoke are more susceptible to respiratory infection, the effects of cigarette smoke on lung defense are incompletely understood. Because airway epithelial cell responses to type II interferon (IFN) are

Recapitulating Endochondral Ossification for Bone Repair: From Development to Engineering Strategy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the developmental basis of endochondral ossification (ECO) and its applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). It first outlines the key biological processes and signaling pathways underlying ECO, then discusses biomaterial‐based engineering strategies derived from these principles, and finally highlights future directions for

Crosstalk between Biomolecular Condensates and Proteostasis

Cells, 2022
Proper homeostasis of the proteome, referred to as proteostasis, is maintained by chaperone-dependent refolding of misfolded proteins and by protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagic machinery. This review will discuss a crosstalk between biomolecular condensates and proteostasis, whereby the crowding of proteostasis ...
