Wafer‐Scale Integration of α‐quartz Thin Films toward Super High Frequency Piezoelectric bioNEMS for Chikungunya Virus Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Epitaxial piezoelectric α‐quartz/Si BioNEMS sensors, made using soft chemistry, effectively detect the Chikungunya virus. They have a mass sensitivity of 205 pg Hz−1 in liquid and can detect the virus at a limit of 9 ng mL−1. This development enables high‐frequency mass devices for point‐of‐care testing in healthcare and other electronic applications ...

Association between Endothelial Selectin (E-selectin) gene polymorphisms and E-selectin level with visceral leishmaniais, in an ARMS-PCR based study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: In the visceral leishmaniasis (VL), parasites reside in reticuluendothelial system, mainly in macrophages. Endothelial Selectin (E-selectin) might play an important role in leukocyte-endothelium interactions and inflammatory cell recruitment.

Siloxane‐Functionalized Silicon Phthalocyanine OTFTs: High Hole Mobility and Unexpected p‐Type Character

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this paper, the first use of a siloxane‐substituted silicon phthalocyanine (iso(Si3O)2SiPc) in OTFTs is reported. Moreover, this compound displays the highest hole mobility (exceeding 1 cm2 V−1 s−1) ever recorded for SiPc, and the GIWAXS study reveals thin films with an exceptionally uniform crystalline texture.

Interfacial Control of Degradation Pathways in 2D Heterostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The stability of two‐dimensional (2D) heterostructures is governed not only by their intrinsic chemistry but also by interfacial effects. This study reveals how metallic versus insulating substrates impact the oxidation of air‐sensitive 2H‐MoTe2. Metallic layers act as charge reservoirs, mitigating degradation, while insulating ones accelerate it ...

Longer Acting Injectable: Continuous, Linear Release of a Progestin Contraceptive From an Oxidized Porous Silicon Host

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Progestin drugs are loaded into a mesoporous silicon dioxide host by melt‐infiltration. Drugs that decompose at or close to their melting point can be loaded by the addition of cholesterol, which acts as a melting point suppressor. High mass loading of the drug is achieved, and dissolution of the composite is controlled by the nanoscale properties of ...

Associação de níveis plasmáticos de PAI-1 e polimorfismo 4G/5G em pacientes com doença arterial coronariana PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism and plasma levels association in patients with coronary artery disease

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2011
FUNDAMENTO: O polimorfismo 4G/5G do inibidor ativador do plasminogênio tipo 1 (PAI-1) pode influenciar a expressão do PAI-1. Níveis plasmáticos elevados de PAI-1 estão associados com Doença Arterial Coronariana (DAC).

An Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Strain‐Controlled, Tissue‐Specific Compression of Cartilage and Mineralized Osteochondral Interface to Study Mechanical Overloading in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...

Molecular Genetic Diversity Study of Forest Coffee Tree (Coffea arabica L.) Populations in Ethiopia: Implications for Conservation and Breeding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Coffee provides one of the most widely drunk beverages in the world, and is a very important source of foreign exchange income for many countries. Coffea arabica, which contributes over 70 percent of the world's coffee productions, is characterized by a ...

A Novel Brain Penetrable Nanocarrier Delivers Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor to Treat Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel blood‐brain barrier‐penetrating terpolymer nanoparticle to deliver brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is designed. The BDNF‐TPN significantly enhances BDNF accumulation in the brain following intravenous injection, reduces apoptosis and neuroinflammation, thus promoting neuronal survival and ...
