670-nm light treatment reduces complement propagation following retinal degeneration
, 2016 AIM Complement activation is associated with the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We aimed to investigate whether 670-nm light treatment reduces the propagation of complement in a light-induced model of atrophic AMD.

Deciphering the fine details of C1 assembly and activation mechanisms: 'mission impossible'?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 The classical complement pathway is initiated by the large (~800kDa) and flexible multimeric C1 complex. Its catalytic function is triggered by the hetero-tetramer of proteases C1r2s2, which is associated to the C1q sensing unit, a complex assembly of 18

Spectroscopic Signatures of Doping in Thin Films of Semiconducting Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Small, EarlyView.This review presents an overview of the spectroscopic changes of semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes upon chemical, electrochemical or electrostatic doping. The presence of holes or electrons directly affects visible to far‐infrared absorption, near‐infrared fluorescence and electroluminescence as well as Raman spectra, which enables in‐situ ...
