Defects Dynamic in Photo‐Excited CeO2 and their Influence on CO2 Photoreduction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy study under light excitation is presented to track the defect dynamic (Ce4+ to Ce3+) in CeO2. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy confirmed the key role of Ce3+ states in controlling charge and energy transfer across the CeO2‐dye molecule interface.

Photo‐Switching Thermal and Lithium‐Ion Conductivity in Azobenzene Polymers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Light‐responsive azobenzene polymers control thermal and ionic transport simultaneously through structural transitions. UV illumination disrupts π–π stacking, converting crystalline trans states to amorphous cis configurations. Thermal conductivity drops from 0.45 to 0.15 W·m−1·K−1 while Li+ diffusivity increases 100 fold. This dual transport switching

Complement C3-Deficient Mice Fail to Display Age-Related Hippocampal Decline
Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 The complement system is part of the innate immune response responsible for removing pathogens and cellular debris, in addition to helping to refine CNS neuronal connections via microglia-mediated pruning of inappropriate synapses during brain ...

Phosphorylation of complement factor C3 in vivo [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1989 Complement factor C3, the central protein of the complement system, was found to be phosphorylated both in EDTA- and heparin-anticoagulated whole blood and in coagulating blood. Complement S protein (vitronectin) was also found to be phosphorylated under these conditions.

Complement C3 is a novel modulator of the anti-factor VIII immune response
Haematologica, 2017 Development of neutralizing antibodies against therapeutic Factor VIII (FVIII) is the most serious complication of the treatment of hemophilia A. There is growing evidence to show the multifactorial origin of the anti-FVIII immune response, combining ...
