Luminescent solvent-free liquids based on Schiff-base boron difluoride complexes with polyethylene glycol chains
Soft Matter, 2024, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D3SM01590D, PaperMasahiro Ikeshita, Miku Ichinose, Takashi Tsuno A series of Schiff-base boron difluoride complexes with polyethylene glycol chains was synthesized and their photophysical properties were examined. These complexes maintained the solvent-free liquid state even at room temperature... The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry (Source: RSC - Soft Matter latest articles)

Comparing solution-gate and bottom-gate nanowire field-effect transistors on pH sensing with different salt concentrations and surface modifications
Talanta. 2024 Jan 29;271:125731. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125731. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTField-effect transistors (FETs) have been developed as pH sensors by using various device structures, fabrication technologies, and sensing film materials. Different transistor structures, like extended-gate (EG) FETs, floating-gate FET sensors, and dual-gate (DG) FETs, can enhance the sensor performance. In this article, we report the effects of using solution-gate and bottom-gate FET configurations on pH sensing and investigate the influence of different ionic concentrations of buffers in the measured signals. The surface c...

PEGylated AIEgens for dual sensing of ATP and H < sub > 2 < /sub > S and cancer cells photodynamic therapy
Talanta. 2024 Feb 2;271:125739. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125739. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFluorescent sensors have been widely applied for biosensing, but probes for both multiple analytes sensing and photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect are less reported. In this article, we reported three AIE-based probes anchored with different mass-weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) tails, i.e., TPE-PEG160, TPE-PEG350, and TPE-PEG750, for both adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection and also cancer cells photodynamic therapy. TPE-PEGns (n = 160, 350 and 750) contain the tetraphenylethylene-based fluoroph...

Intraoperative application of intelligent, responsive, self-assembling hydrogel rectifies oxygen and energy metabolism in traumatically injured brain
Biomaterials. 2024 Jan 31;306:122495. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122495. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn managing severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), emergency surgery involving the removal of damaged brain tissue and intracerebral hemorrhage is a priority. Secondary brain injury caused by oxidative stress and energy metabolic disorders, triggered by both primary mechanical brain damage and surgical insult, is also a determining factor in the prognosis of TBI. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of traditional postoperative intravenous neuroprotective agents therapy is often limited by the lack of targeting, timelines...
