Visible light assisted organosilane assembly on mesoporous silicon films and particles [PDF]

, 2019
Porous silicon (PSi) is a versatile matrix with tailorable surface reactivity, which allows the processing of a range of multifunctional films and particles. The biomedical applications of PSi often require a surface capping with organic functionalities.

Thermally Modulated Metasurface Sensor for Dynamic and Time‐Resolved Isolation of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A thermally adaptive plasmonic metasurface, functionalized with poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and anti‐CD63 antibodies, enables precise, on‐demand capture and release of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Delivering high recovery, improved purity, and intact vesicle structure, the platform offers a versatile, label‐free solution for real‐time EV ...

Changes in Expression of Complement Components in the Ovine Spleen during Early Pregnancy

Animals, 2021
During early gestation in humans, complement regulation is essential for normal fetal growth. It is supposed that a complement pathway participates in maternal splenic immune regulation at the early stage of gestation in ewes.

Modules identification in gene positive networks of hepatocellular carcinoma using pearson agglomerative method and Pearson cohesion coupling modularity [PDF]

, 2012
In this study, a gene positive network is proposed based on a weighted undirected graph, where the weight represents the positive correlation of the genes.

C1 inhibitor-dependent dissociation of human complement component C1 bound to immune complexes [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1979
The interaction of C1 inhibitor with complement component C1 bound to immune complexes was examined by using 125I-labelled C1 subcomponents. The inhibitor binds rapidly to subcomponent C1s, and more slowly to subcomponent C1r. Formation of the C1r-C1 inhibitor complex causes rapid dissociation of subcomponents C1r and C1s from the antibody-antigen ...

Passivated SiC Surfaces for Photonic and Quantum Applications: Balancing Chemical Stability and Surface Luminescence

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Low‐temperature passivation of SiC reveals that optical surface quality and chemical stability are not directly correlated. Ar plasma‐treated and SiNx‐passivated surfaces yield the lowest photoluminescence background, whereas CF4 plasma and ALD‐grown dielectrics introduce higher emission.

Sutimlimab for the Treatment of Cold Agglutinin Disease

HemaSphere, 2023
Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare autoimmune hemolytic anemia and a bone marrow clonal lymphoproliferative disorder. Hemolysis in CAD is complement-dependent and mediated by the classical activation pathway.

Two independent proteomic approaches provide a comprehensive analysis of the synovial fluid proteome response to Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has a failure rate of approximately 20%, but it is yet to be fully understood why. Biomarkers are needed that can pre-operatively predict in which patients it is likely to fail, so that alternative or

Radical‐Mediated, Substrate‐Independent Fabrication of Hybrid Solid–Hydrogel Materials With Tunable Crosslinking: An Initiator‐ and Crosslinker‐Free Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a substrate‐independent, reagent‐free plasma strategy that forms radical‐rich interlayers for covalent hydrogel attachment without initiators or crosslinkers. The long‐lived radicals drive in situ gelation, creating robust, cytocompatible hybrid solid–hydrogel constructs across diverse substrates.

Acquisition of C1 inhibitor by Bordetella pertussis virulence associated gene 8 results in C2 and C4 consumption away from the bacterial surface.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a contagious disease of the respiratory tract that is re-emerging worldwide despite high vaccination coverage. The causative agent of this disease is the Gram-negative Bordetella pertussis. Knowledge on complement evasion
