Identification and characterization of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene family in the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis: role in latex regeneration and stress response

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
As the key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) provides NADPH and intermediary metabolites for rubber biosynthesis, and plays an important role in plant development and stress responses. In this study,

Two‐Phase Rubber–Plastic Matrices’ Stabilization of Organic Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence Afterglows Better than Plastic Matrix

Small Structures, 2023
The rigid yet polar polymers as matrices for organic‐doped room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) polymers are widely reported, but nonpolar rigid plastics such as polystyrene (PS) are thought to be ineffective matrix and rarely attempted.

A Gym for Cells—Direct Laser Writing of Magnetic Multilayered Micro Actuators for Mechanical Stimulation of Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐attached multilayer micromagnet systems are fabricated by two‐photon crosslinking. The pillar‐shaped micro actuators consist of a soft and flexible surface‐attached cell‐repellent hydrogel layer at the bottom, acting as a hinge and a cell‐adhesive hydrophobic polymer filled with magnetic nanoparticles.
