Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitory Activity and Related Molecular Mechanism of Bovine α-Lactalbumin-Derived Peptides

Molecules, 2020
Identifying DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from dietary protein has attracted increased attention. In the present study, bovine α-lactalbumin hydrolysates were generated by alcalase for various hydrolysis times, and DPP-IV inhibitory activity of these ...

Aging and Electrical Stability of DNTT Honey‐Gated OFETs

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
DNTT honey‐gated organic transistors were fabricated and evaluated to assess short‐ and long‐term stability under electrical stress and aging. Short‐term transfer measurements (five days, 40 sweeps/day) showed minimal parameter shift, while extended measurements revealed gradual degradation over weeks.

Side‐Chain Branching Dictates the σ–S Coupling in Conjugated Polymer Thermoelectrics

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The correlation between conductivity and Seebeck coefficient has been extensively studied in numerous works. Nevertheless, its association with side chains has not been thoroughly explored. In this work, we found that the distance between the branching points of side chains and the molecular backbones has a significant effect on thermoelectric ...

Toward a Rational Design of Conjugated Copolymers with Oxygenated Side Chains for Boosting Thermoelectric Properties

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The molecular design strategy that integrates both side chain and backbone engineering in diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based conjugated polymers to identify the optimal balance between doping efficiency and microstructural order is demonstrated. Comprehensive spectroscopic, electrochemical, morphological, and structural characterizations reveal that the ...

Peripherally Fluorinated Tetraphenylethene: New Electron Extraction Interlayers for n‐i‐p Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Fluorinated tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives were developed as interfacial layers for perovskite solar cells. The optimized TFP‐TPE enhances interfacial compatibility, suppresses molecular aggregation, and improves charge extraction. Devices incorporating TFP‐TPE achieved a record efficiency of 25.29% and outstanding stability under humidity and ...

DPP-4 Inhibitors as Potential Candidates for Antihypertensive Therapy: Improving Vascular Inflammation and Assisting the Action of Traditional Antihypertensive Drugs

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is an important protease that is widely expressed on the surface of human cells and plays a key role in immune-regulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, cell adhesion, and apoptosis by targeting different substrates.

Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Dpp from the anterior stripe of cells is crucial for the growth of the Drosophila wing disc

eLife, 2017
The Dpp morphogen gradient derived from the anterior stripe of cells is thought to control growth and patterning of the Drosophila wing disc. However, the spatial-temporal requirement of dpp for growth and patterning remained largely unknown.

The musculature and skeleton of the pelvic fin of the crocodile shark, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai (Matsubara, 1936) (Elasmobranchii: Lamniformes): Morphology and sexual dimorphism

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This work brings new information on the sexual characteristics of the crocodile shark (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) exploring the pelvic fin musculature, as well as the siphon sac and the musculature and skeleton of the clasper. Our paper is the first to point out clearly the sexual dimorphism related exclusively to the pelvic fin musculature in males ...
