Double Cross‐Linked Hydrogel for Intra‐articular Injection as Modality for Macrophages Metabolic Reprogramming and Therapy of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel for intra‐articular injection for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is formulated and comprehensively studied. After administration, the hydrogel induces a metabolic reprogramming of immunometabolism of macrophages to trigger fatty acid oxidation subsequently inducing polarization of anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophages. This results in

Interactions of Ligand, Aptamer, and Complementary Oligonucleotide: Studying Impacts of Na⁺ and Mg²⁺ Cations on Sensitive FRET-Based Detection of Aflatoxin B1

Molecules
The effects of magnesium and sodium on the interactions between aptamer, its specific ligand, and short complementary oligonucleotides (cDNAs) differing in affinity of their binding with the aptamer were studied.

Enhancing CoFe Catalysts with V2CTX MXene‐Derived Materials for Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MXene dervied CoFe composites show increased initial Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) activity compared to the pure CoFe and MXene in an Anion Exchange Membrane device. Vanadium vacancies in the MXene plays a role in increased OER activity and hinders Fe leaching in the AEM device over using the pure V2C MXene as a support material for the CoFe ...

Native Lignin Migration and Clustering in Wood: Superhydrophobic, Antimold, and Tribonegative Layers for Rain‐Driven Electrification

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a sustainable solution for rainwater‐driven energy harvesting by harnessing the intrinsic properties of lignin in wood. The first demonstration of an all‐wood tribonegative material for liquid–solid triboelectric nanogenerators is presented, eliminating the need for fluorine‐containing polymers and functional additives. Abstract The

Lipid-free apolipoproteins A-I and A-II promote remodeling of reconstituted high density lipoproteins and alter their reactivity with lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
We examined the effect of lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apoA-II on the structure of reconstituted high density lipoproteins (rHDL) and on their reactivity as substrates for lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). First, homogeneous rHDL

The Influence of Annealing on the Sb Layer in the Synthesis of [001]‐Oriented Sb2Se3 Film for Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Gas Generation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
[001]‐oriented Sb2Se3 film with improved crystallinity and adjusted composition is achieved via a new thermal treatment approach consisting of preliminary annealing of the Sb layer before its selenization. The findings of this work demonstrate enhanced charge carriers' transportation, a stable performance, and an improvement of H2 generation from ...

Binding of Pheophorbide-a methyl ester to nucleic acids of different secondary structures: A spectroscopic study [PDF]

Biophysical Bulletin (2009) v. 23(2), p. 20-29 (in Russian), 2018
Binding of neutral Pheophorbide-a methyl ester (MePheo-a) to various synthetic polynucleotides, double-stranded poly(A)-poly(U), poly(G)-poly(C) and four-stranded poly(G), as well as to calf thymus DNA, was studied using the methods of absorption and polarized fluorescent spectroscopy.

Polarization‐Driven Molecular Alignment of Azopolymer for Dual‐Encrypted and Moiré Animation‐Based Anti‐Counterfeiting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multi‐layered anti‐counterfeiting platform is developed based on an azopolymer (PAzo) system. By leveraging the molecular orientation control of PAzo under linearly polarized light (LPL), encrypted patterns are fabricated that remain invisible under standard conditions and require polarized optical microscopy (POM) for decryption.
