MicroRNAs as Molecular Switches in Macrophage Activation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The efficacy of macrophage- mediated inflammatory response relies on the coordinated expression of key factors, which expression is finely regulated at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Several studies have provided compelling evidence

Current-induced mechanical torque in chiral molecular rotors
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2023 There has been great endeavor to engineer molecular rotors operated by an electrical current. A frequently met operation principle is the transfer of angular momentum taken from the incident flux.

Computational design of metal-supported molecular switches: Transient ion formation during light- and electron-induced isomerisation of azobenzene [PDF]
, 2018 In molecular nanotechnology, a single molecule is envisioned to act as the basic building block of electronic devices. Such devices may be of special interest for organic photovoltaics, data storage, and smart materials.

Laser controlled molecular switches and transistors [PDF]
, 2002 We investigate the possibility of optical current control through single molecules which are weakly coupled to leads. A master equation approach for the transport through a molecule is combined with a Floquet theory for the time-dependent molecule.
