Composition and Resulting Band Alignment at the TiO2/InP Heterointerface: A Fundamental Study Combining Photoemission Spectroscopy and Theory

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The chemical composition and band alignment are systematically investigated at the TiO2/InP heterointerface. Thin TiO2 films are deposited by ALD on atomically ordered, P‐terminated p‐InP(100). By combining UPS, XPS, and ab initio molecular dynamics, the atomistic structure and electronic alignment are revealed.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Purinergic Receptor Antagonists Inhibit Hemolysis Induced by Clostridium perfringens Alpha Toxin

Pathogens
Clostridium perfringens alpha toxin (CPA), which causes yellow lamb disease in sheep and gas gangrene and food poisoning in humans, is produced by all types of C. perfringens and is the major virulence determinant of C. perfringens type A.

Toward Robust Ionic Conductivity Determination of Sulfide‐Based Solid Electrolytes for Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ionic conductivity of a solid electrolyte is just the “tip of the iceberg”. There are many parameters to consider to quantify it reliably in powdered solid electrolyte samples. Abstract All‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs) are taking the lead as the next‐generation energy storage systems, mainly to the development of new solid electrolytes with high ...

Gaussian‐Sigmoid Reinforcement Transistors: Resolving Exploration‐Exploitation Trade‐Off Through Gate Voltage‐Controlled Activation Functions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The characteristics of a vertical n–p–i–p heterostructure transistor device, which exhibits a voltage‐tunable transition between Gaussian and sigmoid functions, are investigated. The mixed state of the transfer curve enables the utilization of both exploitation and exploration, improving computational performance in reinforcement learning tasks ...

Adenosine Triphosphate Release and P2 Receptor Signaling in Piezo1 Channel-Dependent Mechanoregulation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Organs and tissues and their constituent cells are physiologically submitted to diverse types of mechanical forces or stress, one common sequence of which is release of intracellular ATP into extracellular space.

Role for ovarian hormones in purinoceptor-dependent natriuresis

Biology of Sex Differences, 2020
Background Premenopausal women have a lower risk of hypertension compared to age-matched men and postmenopausal women. P2Y2 and P2Y4 purinoceptor can be considered potential contributors to hypertension due to their emerging roles in regulating renal ...

Amorphous High Entropy Alloy Nanosheets Enabling Robust Li–S Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Amorphous ultrathin FeCoNiMoW high entropy alloy nanosheets are incorporated into the polypropylene separator of lithium‐sulfur batteries, enhancing their capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. Abstract High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) show great potential for catalyzing complex multi‐step reactions, but optimizing their parameters, i.e ...

The adenosinergic machinery in cancer: In-tandem insights from basic mechanisms to therapy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Extracellular adenosine (eADO) signaling has emerged as an increasingly important regulator of immune responses, including tumor immunity. eADO is mainly produced from extracellular ATP (eATP) hydrolysis.
