Going Deep into the Surface Chemistry of Carbon Dots: Influence of Functional Groups on the Redox Abilities

Small, EarlyView.
The chemical structure of Carbon Dots (CDs) is still a mystery despite years of study. Herein, we show how CDs with a higher density of surface‐accessible amines display enhanced (photo)redox performance. Electrochemical and thermodynamic analyses confirmed the feasibility of electron transfer, while mechanistic investigations revealed that the ...

Engineering Proton Conductive Metal–Organic Glasses Through Secondary Network Formers

Small, EarlyView.
Incorporating secondary network formers enables access to metal–organic glass with tunable structures and properties. This strategy allows systematic control over key metrics, including anhydrous proton conductivities up to 2.6 mS cm−1 at 150°C, a linear increase in glass transition temperature from 11.0°C to 57.4°C, and more than a 200‐fold increase ...

Disc‐Toroid Hybrid Lipid Nanoparticles for Efficient Drug Encapsulation and Subcutaneous Delivery

Small, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates sub‐50 nm solid‐lipid nanoparticles with long‐term stability, high drug loading, and strong tissue compatibility. Disc‐toroid morphology is confirmed and may play a role in cellular interactions, while low cytotoxicity and minimal systemic permeation confirm depot‐like behavior. These nanoparticles represent a versatile platform

A Comparative Study of Directed Energy Deposition‐Arc and Casting: Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Hot‐Work Tool Steels

steel research international, EarlyView.
The study investigates the influence of DED‐Arc/M versus casting on the microstructure and material properties of X40CrMoV5‐1 (AISI H13) hot‐work tool steel. DED‐Arc/M yields finer microstructures, superior mechanical strength, and ductility, but slightly reduced thermal conductivity.

Influence of Laser Powder‐Based Directed Energy Deposition and Heat Treatment on the Thermal Conductivity of Cold‐Work Tool Steel X65MoCrWV3‐2

steel research international, EarlyView.
The studied X65MoCrWV3‐2 press hardening tool steel, produced via laser‐based direct energy deposition DED‐LB/M, exhibits a 15‐20% lower thermal conductivity than its conventionally produced equivalent when heat‐treated to operational hardness. The microstructural evolution during the employed direct tempering leads to anisotropic thermal transport, as

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Cannabidiol and cannabigerol ameliorate steatotic liver disease via phosphocreatine buffering and lysosomal restoration

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) alleviate hepatic steatosis in obese mice by shifting energy buffering towards phosphocreatine and enhancing lysosomal lipid degradation and trafficking. These effects are associated with increased creatine kinase activity and lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) levels, highlighting a previously unrecognised ...

Intravenous Oxytocin Has no Effect on Ad Libitum Food Intake or Postprandial Plasma Glucose Concentrations in Individuals With Obesity: A Randomised, Placebo‐Controlled, Double‐Blind, Crossover Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Oxytocin is expressed throughout the small intestine, suggesting a role for oxytocin in postprandial metabolism. Accordingly, single‐dose intranasal oxytocin reduces food intake and improves glucose tolerance. We investigated the effects of a continuous intravenous oxytocin infusion on ad libitum food intake, appetite sensations ...

Teleost‐specific ictacalcins exhibit similar structural organization, cation‐dependent activation, and transcriptional regulation as human S100 proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Calcium‐binding S100 proteins are important mediators of inflammation in humans. Distant members of this family have been recently discovered in teleost fish but their resemblance to human proteins has not been explored yet. This study demonstrates that zebrafish‐specific S100i1 and S100i2 (ictacalcins) possess identical structural organization and ...
