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, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Wei Huang, Ioannis Zalachoras, Sriparna Ghosal

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

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Lukas Pfeifer, Wei Huang, Dan Ren, Zhongjin Shen, 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 ...

All-in-One Deposition to Synergistically Manipulate Perovskite Growth for High-Performance Solar Cell

Frank Nüesch, Jie Wu, Wei Huang, Hui Zhang

Nonradiative recombination losses originating from crystallographic distortions and issues occurring upon interface formation are detrimental for the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells. Herein, we incorporated a series of carbamide molecule ...

Effect of cement substitution by limestone on the hydration and microstructural development of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC)

Karen Scrivener, Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab, Wei Sun, Wei Huang

The effect of limestone on the hydration and microstructural development of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) with different levels of replacement (34%, 54% and 74% by volume) was investigated. Up to 54% replacement of cement by limestone the mixes sh ...

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

Karen Scrivener, Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab, 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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
