The Deepest Blue: Major Advances and Challenges in Deep Blue Emitting Quasi‐2D and Nanocrystalline Perovskite LEDs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, the recent development of deep‐blue (≤465 nm) perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are summarized, using different perovskite nanomaterials, including nanocrystals (NCs), quantum dots (QDs), nanoplatelets (NPLs), quasi‐2D thin film, 3D bulk thin film, as well as lead‐free perovskite nanomaterials.

Charged cell membrane in electrolyte [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
An effect of membrane surface charge on mechanical properties of the phospholipid bilayer membrane and pores formation is considered. It is shown that the outer and inner surfaces of the phospholipid membrane is always subject to tension, regardless of magnitude and sign of the charges on its surface.

Enzymatic activities of the human AGPAT isoform 3 and isoform 5: localization of AGPAT5 to mitochondria[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
The enzyme 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase (AGPAT) converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA). In this study, we show enzymatic properties, tissue distribution, and subcellular localization of human AGPAT3 and AGPAT5.

Engineering Magnetotactic Bacteria as Medical Microrobots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are living microorganisms that produce magnetosomes for navigation using the Earth's geomagnetic field. Their built‐in magnetic components, along with their intrinsic and/or modified biological functions, make them one of the most promising platforms for making future living and programmable microrobots.

Core aldehydes of alkyl glycerophosphocholines in atheroma induce platelet aggregation and inhibit endothelium-dependent arterial relaxation

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Plaque disruption with superimposed thrombosis is considered to be responsible for precipitating acute coronary syndrome. We identified sn-1-alkyl- and sn-1-acyl-type glycerophosphocholine (GroPCho) core aldehydes from human atheromas and demonstrated ...

Formulation and Characterization of Novel Ionizable and Cationic Lipid Nanoparticles for the Delivery of Splice‐Switching Oligonucleotides

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) of unconventional composition and defined structures are investigated as small oligonucleotide carriers. A composition is identified that outperforms Onpattro in cargo delivery to HeLa cells. The structure of these LNPs resembles a micellar cubic phase not commonly associated with high‐performing LNPs.

Therapeutic Potential of Manuka Honey Microbubble Dressing in Wound Management

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The manuka honey microbubble dressing innovation utilizes high‐density stainless steel mesh technology to generate microscopic honey bubbles achieving S. aureus elimination by fine‐tuning factors such as microbubble size, MH microbubble consumption, and treatment duration. This pioneering approach transforms traditional wound healing and may reduce the

ATP11C mutation is responsible for the defect in phosphatidylserine uptake in UPS-1 cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) translocate phospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflets of cellular membranes. We and others previously showed that ATP11C, a member of the P4-ATPases, translocates phosphatidylserine (PS) at the ...

An optimized negative-staining protocol of electron microscopy for apoE4•POPC lipoprotein

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Apolipoprotein E (apoE), one of the major protein components of lipoproteins in the peripheral and central nervous systems, regulates cholesterol metabolism through its interaction with members of the low density lipoprotein receptor family.
