Reversible Modulation of Motile Cilia by a Benzo[e][1,2,4]triazinone: A Potential Non-Hormonal Approach to Male Contraception

Cells
Motile cilia play essential roles in various physiological processes including fluid flow generation and sperm motility. In this study, we identified 1,3-diphenyl-6-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)benzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-one as a potent and reversible ...

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...
