Polymeric carbon nitride with internal n-p homojunctions for efficient photocatalytic CO₂ reduction coupled with cyclohexene oxidation by Zhen, Wenlong, Sun, Jiajun, Ning, Xiaofeng, Shi, Xiangyan, Xue, Can

“…We present the creation of internal n-p homojunctions in polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) by inserting phenyl groups, which bridge the adjacent tri-s-triazine moieties, into the PCN matrix through copolymerization methods. The linkage by the benzene rings results in a large π-conjugated structure and controllable electron-localization, allowing for modulating the electronic structure, optical properties, and lipophilicity of the prepared sample (CDT-DCDA-490). …”

The role of toca-1-N-wasp complex in filopodia formation and endocytosis by Bu, Wenyu

“…The coordinated filopodia formation and endocytosis may be crucial for diverse cellular and developmental processes, such as growth cone guidance and collapse, epithelial cell polarity and border cell migration of Drosophila. Therefore the linkage between filopodia formation and endocytosis may be essential for cellular response to the environmental cues or establishing cell polarity, thus providing a mechanism to coordinate cell signaling events and developmental processes.…”
