Publications related to Negligible interaction of [Ru(Phen) 3 ] 2+ with human serum albumin makes it promising for a reliable in vivo assessment of the tissue oxygenation

An ultrathin cobalt-iron oxide catalyst for water oxidation on nanostructured hematite photoanodes

Michael Graetzel, Xile Hu, Jingshan Luo, Jordan Emanuel Katz, Laurent Liardet

The harvesting of sunlight by a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is an attractive strategy to store solar energy in the form of chemical bonds. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a bottleneck for the developm ...

Multispectral Near-Infrared Optical Tomography for Cancer Hypoxia Study in Mice

Scott Anthony Lindner, Matthias Wolf, Jingjing Jiang, Markus Rudin

Oxygenation of a tumor is one of the most important predictive factors: hypoxia is associated with aggressive tumors and substantially lower survival rate. Despite this high relevance of tumor oxygenation, there is currently no bedside technique available ...

Defect chemistry of methylammonium lead iodide

Alessandro Senocrate

The present work deals with the defect chemistry and charge transport properties in halide perovskites, and in particular in the archetypal methylammonium lead iodide. These materials are extensively researched due to their very promising application as li ...

In vivo measurement of the tissue oxygenation by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy of protoporphyrin IX: Strategies to minimize artefacts associated with photoproducts

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Veronika Huntosova

The determination of the oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) in real time in living biological tissues is of high interest for numerous therapeutics, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy. The minimally invasive and real-time measurement of the ...

Oxygen depletion in Lake Geneva

Robert Vincent Schwefel

Low oxygen concentrations remain a global concern for the ecological health of lakes. High nutrient inputs and climate-induced changes in stratification and mixing are anthropogenic threats which largely impact aquatic oxygen budgets and overall ecosystem ...

Surviving anoxia in marine sediments: The metabolic response of ubiquitous benthic foraminifera (Ammonia tepida)

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

High input of organic carbon and/or slowly renewing bottom waters frequently create periods with low dissolved oxygen concentrations on continental shelves and in coastal areas; such events can have strong impacts on benthic ecosystems. Among the meiofauna ...

Effect of PpIX photoproducts formation on pO2 measurement by time-resolved delayed fluorescence spectroscopy of PpIX in solution and in vivo

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Veronika Huntosova

The measurement of Protoporphyrin IX delayed fluorescence lifetime is a minimally invasive method for monitoring the levels of oxygen in cells and tissues. The excitation of Protoporphyrin IX during this measurement can lead to the formation of photoproduc ...

Oxygen depletion in stratified lakes - why shallow and deep lakes react differently

Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Oxygen is the most important element in natural waters for any higher aquatic life, such as fish. As with humans, almost all members of aquatic ecosystems need oxygen to breathe. Building on this, treatment of drinking water is easier for oxic than for ano ...

Measurement of pO2 by luminescence lifetime spectroscopy: A comparative study of the phototoxicity and sensitivity of [Ru(Phen)3]2+ and PdTCPP in vivo

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Veronika Huntosova

Dysfunctions in tissue metabolism can be detected at early stages by oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) measurement. The measurement of emission lifetimes offers very promising and non-invasive approach to estimate pO(2) in vivo. This study compares two exten ...

Effects of climate change on deep-water oxygen and winter mixing in a deep lake (Lake Geneva)

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Oxygen is the most important dissolved gas for lake ecosystems. Because low oxygen concentrations are an ongoing problem in many parts of the oceans and numerous lakes, oxygen depletion processes have been intensively studied over the last decades and were ...
