Investigation of hybrid plasmons in a highly crystalline Bi2Se3/C60 heterostructure using low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy
Sample Preparation
C60 films form an ideal, stable molecular overlayer for the study of Bi2Se3/molecule heterostructures due to their high electron affinity and chemical robustness. Highly crystalline, pure C60 films are robust to STEM…

Improvement of anti-swelling property and anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings by the introduction of nanocrystalline cellulose composite
Characterization of M-NCC epoxy coating
Figure 1a shows the ATR-FTIR spectra of M-NCC and pure NCC with different contents. The M-NCC showed two medium-intensity absorption peaks of -NH2 at 3360 cm–1 and 3200 cm–1. The introduction of amino…

The transcription factor WRKY25 can act as redox switch to drive the expression of WRKY53 during leaf senescence in arabidopsis
Transactivation potential with the WRKY53/WRKY25/WRKY18 subnetwork
To gain further insight into the potential regulatory subnetwork formed by WRKY18, WRKY25, and WRKY53, we studied the interactions among these three WRKYs and their effects on each…

Targeting CAFs | Nature Immunology
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) support an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), in part by the release of complement factors and the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into the tumor, but therapeutic targeting…

What makes life tick? Scientists build fake cells that know the time
In a breakthrough blending biology and engineering, scientists have built synthetic cells that mimic nature’s internal clockwork.
Researchers at UC Merced engineered tiny artificial vesicles that pulsed with a steady, 24-hour rhythm in a…
