2D materials integrated with metallic nanostructures: fundamentals and optoelectronic applications

Nanophotonics, Volume 9, Issue 7, Page 1877-1900, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Due to their novel electronic and optical properties, atomically thin layered two‐dimensional (2D) materials are becoming promising to realize novel functional optoelectronic devices including photodetectors, modulators, and lasers. However, light–matter interactions in 2D materials are often weak because of the atomic‐scale thickness, thus ...

Emodin, Physcion, and Crude Extract of Rhamnus sphaerosperma var. pubescens Induce Mixed Cell Death, Increase in Oxidative Stress, DNA Damage, and Inhibition of AKT in Cervical and Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
There have been few studies on the pharmacological properties of Rhamnus sphaerosperma var. pubescens, a native Brazilian species popularly known as “fruto‐de‐pombo.” The aim of this study was to investigate the scavenging capacity of emodin, physcion, and the ethanolic crude extract of Rhamnus sphaerosperma var.

Protective and Antioxidant Effects of a Chalconoid from Pulicaria incisa on Brain Astrocytes

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson′s and Alzheimer′s diseases. Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the brain, protect neurons from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and provide them with trophic support, such as glial‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).
