Photoinduced charge separation is a fundamental step in photochemical energy conversion. In the design of molecularly based systems for light-to-chemical conversion, this studied through construction two- and three-component (dyads triads) having suitable electron donor acceptor moieties placed at specific positions on charge-transfer chromophore. The most extensively chromophores regard are ruthenium(II) tris(diimine) with common 3MLCT excited state, as well related bis(terpyridyl) systems....

Abstract Speciation leads to adaptive changes in organ cellular physiology and creates challenges for studying rare cell-type functions that diverge between humans mice. Rare cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-rich pulmonary ionocytes exist throughout the cartilaginous airways of 1,2 , but limited presence divergent biology proximal trachea mice has prevented use traditional transgenic models elucidate ionocyte airway. Here we describe creation conditional genetic...

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP NENs) are rare cancers consisting of carcinomas (NECs) and tumors (NETs), which have been increasing in incidence recent years. Few cell lines pre-clinical models exist for studying GEP NECs NETs, limiting the ability to discover novel imaging treatment modalities. To address this gap, we isolated tumor cells from cryopreserved patient NETs injected them into flanks immunocompromised mice establish patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models....
