eNAMPT actions through nucleus accumbens NAD + /SIRT1 link increased adiposity with sociability deficits programmed by peripuberty stress

Johan Auwerx, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Ioannis Zalachoras, Wei Huang, Sriparna Ghosal, Laia Morato Fornaguera, Lei Cao

Obesity is frequently associated with impairments in the social domain, and stress at puberty can lead to long-lasting changes in visceral fat deposition and in social behaviors. However, whether stress-induced changes in adipose tissue can affect fat-to-b ...

Carbazol-phenyl-phenothiazine-based sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Lukas Pfeifer, Zhongjin Shen, Dan Ren, Wei Huang, Yunfei Jiao, Yi Ding

Heteroaromatic units are commonly used as pi-spacers for sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Here, we investigated the influence of the pi-spacer on the photophysical properties, electrochemical properties and photovoltaic performance of car ...

Gyrl-like proteins catalyze cyclopropanoid hydrolysis to confer cellular protection

Shuguang Yuan, Wei Huang, Yue Yin

Gyrl-like proteins are widely distributed in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and recognized as small-molecule binding proteins. Here, we identify a subfamily of these proteins as cyclo-propanoid cyclopropyl hydrolases (CCHs) that can catalyze the hydrolysis of ...

Effect of replacement of silica fume with calcined clay on the hydration and microstructural development of eco-UHPFRC

Karen Scrivener, Wei Sun, Wei Huang

In this paper, the replacement of high cost silica fume with calcined clay was investigated in UHPFRC mixes. The impact of two grades of calcined clay on the hydration and microstructural development of UHPFRC matrices was investigated, where 54% of the ce ...

Reoptimized interaction parameters for the peptide-backbone model compound N-methylacetamide in the GROMOS force field: Influence on the folding properties of two beta-peptides in methanol

Wei Huang, Bruno Araujo Cautiero Horta

Considering N-methylacetamide (NMA) as a model compound, new interaction parameters are developed for the amide function in the GROMOS force field that are compatible with the recently derived 53A6OXY parameter set for oxygen-containing chemical functions. ...

A polymorphism in the HCP5 gene associated with HLA-B*5701 does not restrict HIV-1 in vitro

Jacques Fellay, Wei Huang

A single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs2395029) in the HCP5 gene associated with HLA-B*5701 is correlated with lower HIV-1 viral set point. The two allelic forms of coding region were ectopically expressed in TZM-bl cells for an effect on HIV-1 replication. N ...
