Pushing the Limits of the Donor-Acceptor Copolymer Strategy for Intramolecular Singlet Fission

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Maria Fumanal Quintana

Donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers have shown great potential for intramolecular singlet fission (iSF). Nonetheless, very few design principles exist for optimizing these systems for iSF, with very little knowledge about how to engineer them for this purpose. ...

Catalyst design for C-O bond hydrogenolysis of renewable materials

Antoine Philippe Van Muyden

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions leading to climate change require to use of renewable carbon sources such as CO2 and biomass which differ from fossil resources by having a higher number of oxygen atoms. Therefore, catalytic C-O bond cleavage will pl ...

Multicomponent Alginate-Derived Hydrogel Microspheres Presenting Hybrid Ionic-Covalent Network and Drug Eluting Properties

Sandrine Gerber, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz, Luca Szabó

The development of multifunctional encapsulation biomaterials could help the translation of cell‐based therapies into standard medical care. One of the major hurdles in the field of encapsulated cell transplantation is the current lack of materials present ...

Crosslinking Allosteric Sites on the Nucleosome Core Particle

Lucinda Kate Batchelor

Designing compounds that bind to the acidic patch of the nucleosome core particle (NCP) is an emerging therapeutic approach that can inhibit the binding of key chromatin factors. Pretreatment of human ovarian carcinoma, A2780, cells with RAPTA-T, an antime ...

Indirect CO2 Methanation: Hydrogenolysis of Cyclic Carbonates Catalyzed by Ru-Modified Zeolite Produces Methane and Diols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Wei-Tse Lee, Zhangjun Huang

We report a ruthenium‐modified zeolite which efficiently transforms propylene carbonate to propylene glycol and methane, under solvent‐free conditions. The catalyst achieved high product selectivity and no significant ageing effect was observed after multi ...

Fluorinated surfactants in droplet-based microfluidics: Influence of their composition on the properties of emulsion drops

Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...

Micro- and nanoscale hierarchical structure of core-shell protein microgels

Giovanni Dietler, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Raffaele Mezzenga

Protein nanofibrils were first discovered in the context of misfolding and neurodegenerative diseases but have recently been found in naturally occurring functional materials including algal adhesives, bacterial coatings, and even mammalian melanosomes. Th ...

Faceted phospholipid vesicles tailored for the delivery of Santolina insularis essential oil to the skin

Davide Demurtas

The aim of this work was to formulate Santolina insularis essential oil-loaded nanocarriers, namely Penetration Enhancer containing Vesicles (PEVs), evaluate the physico-chemical features and stability, and gain insights into their ability to deliver the o ...

The Influence of Arginine on the Response of Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) Proteins to Thermal Stress: Towards Improving the Stability of EMD-Based Products

John Christopher Plummer, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Raffaele Mezzenga, Peter Fischer

In a current procedure for periodontal tissue regeneration, enamel matrix derivative (EMD), which is the active component, is mixed with a propylene glycol alginate (PGA) gel carrier and applied directly to the periodontal defect. Exposure of EMD to physio ...

Methylglyoxal, the dark side of glycolysis

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman

Glucose is the main energy substrate for the brain. There is now extensive evidence indicating that the metabolic profile of neural cells with regard to glucose utilization and glycolysis rate is not homogenous, with a marked propensity for glycolytic gluc ...
