Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–

Role of Cathelicidins in Atherosclerosis and Associated Cardiovascular Diseases

Journal of Molecular Pathology
Cathelicidins (human LL-37 and rat CRAMP) are multifunctional peptides involved in various cardiovascular conditions. This review integrates the recent findings about the functional involvement of LL-37/CRAMP across atherosclerosis, acute coronary ...

Gapless Superconductivity From Extremely Dilute Magnetic Disorder in 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx hosts gapless superconductivity at unexpectedly low magnetic impurity concentrations. Combining STM, Bogoliubovde Gennes simulations, DFT, and quasiparticle interference, we comprehensively study the development of gapless behavior and show that SeS substitution reshapes the band structure, enhances nesting, and drives ...

n‐Type Polymer Radio Frequency Rectifiers Operating at 18.5 GHz

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Combining an n‐doped polymer semiconductor with wafer‐scale asymmetric planar electrodes featuring work function‐engineered contacts yields radio‐frequency diodes and rectifying circuits operating at up to 18.5 GHz. The devices combine scalable manufacturing with an operating frequency previously unattainable by large‐area organic electronics ...

Large‐Scale Determination of Frontier Orbital Energies of Disordered Small‐Molecule Organic Semiconductors Using Exciplex Emission Spectra

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately knowing the frontier orbital energies of the structurally disordered small‐molecule organic semiconductors that are used in optoelectronic devices such as organic light‐emitting diodes is required to rationally improve their performance. Here, we show that these energies can be deduced with a large accuracy from the peak energies of

Immunomodulatory effects of LL-37 in the epithelia

, 2008
The cationic host defence peptide LL-37 is an immunomodulatory agent that plays an important role in epithelial innate immunity. Previously, concentrations of LL-37 thought to represent levels present during inflammation have been shown to elicit the production of cytokines and chemokines by epithelial cells.

Backbone Engineering of Carbon‐Centered NHC‐Derived Diradicals: From Electronic State Tuning to High‐Performance Organic Field‐Effect Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The open‐shell nature of diradicals facilitates charge separation, and compounds with moderate diradical character demonstrate remarkable potential in organic field‐effect transistors (OFET) applications due to their low reorganization energies for hole and electron transport.

Light‐Programmable Interfaces: From Molecular Photoswitching to Adaptive Membrane Separations

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review advances an interface‐centered framework for light‐responsive membranes, linking molecular photoswitches (azobenzene (AZO), spiropyran (SP), diarylethene (DAE), donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA), photoacid) to integration strategies in polymeric, porous, self‐assembled, and mixed‐matrix systems.

LL-37 and citrullinated LL-37: differential modulation of the oxylipin - chemokine axis

Inflammation plays a crucial role in the host immune system, and it involves a complex network of cellular and molecular events. In the lungs, human bronchial epithelial cells release cytokines/chemokines, and other mediators such as bioactive lipids and cationic host defence peptides (CHDPs) to facilitate and regulate airway inflammation.

Pattern Formation in Non‐Equilibrium Architected Materials

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates an artificial mechanical system ‐ a robotic metamaterial ‐ as an accessible and versatile platform within which to explore and prescribe the reaction‐diffusion driven pattern formation hitherto associated with comparatively less accessible and versatile non‐equilibrium biological and chemical systems.
