Aramid Nanofiber Aerogels: Versatile High Complexity Components for Multifunctional Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different forms of aramid nanofibers (ANFs) and especially aerogels from them, offer a sustainable route to high‐performance biomimetic nanocomposites. Due to the cartilage‐like architecture, ANF‐based materials enable breakthroughs in energy, electromagnetic, biomedical, and water purification technologies.

Identification of the 5'-flanking regulatory region responsible for the difference in transcriptional control between mouse complement C4 and Slp genes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1986
To elucidate the molecular basis underlying the difference in the mode of gene expression between mouse complement C4 (constitutive) and sex-limited protein (Slp) (testosterone-regulated), we compared nucleotide sequences and transcriptional regulatory ...

The complement system in renal homograft recipients [PDF]

, 1972
The whole serum complement and its components were studied in 24 recipients of 27 renal homografts. In 12 of 13 instances in which homograft rejection was diagnosed, it was accompanied by significant declines in CH50, IA50, C4, and C3 levels, and to a ...

Spiro‐Phenothiazine Hole‐Transporting Materials: Unlocking Stability and Scalability in Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Fluorene‐functionalized spiro‐phenothiazine (PTZ‐Fl) exhibits strong Li+ affinity and thermal stability, enabling a PCE of 25.75% in small‐area cells and 22.07% in 25 cm2 modules. Under ISOS‐L3 conditions, PTZ‐Flbased devices retain over 80% efficiency after 1000 hours, demonstrating superior stability and scalability compared to spiro‐OMeTAD for next ...

Rational Development of a Novel Emulgel Adjuvant for Single‐Shot Effective Vaccination: A Multivariate Analysis Approach

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Using multivariate analysis, a novel emulgel adjuvant is developed by combining key nanoemulsion formulation variables–hydrogel trapping, small globule size, and mannide monooleate surfactant–achieving 10× greater immunogenicity than MF59 in mice after a single shot.

Polymorphism of the human complement C4 and steroid 21-hydroxylase genes. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms revealing structural deletions, homoduplications, and size variants.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1986
Several autoimmune disorders as well as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are either associated or closely linked with genetic variants of the fourth component of complement (C4A and C4B) and the enzyme steroid 21-hydroxylase (21-OH).
