Spontaneous charge transfer doping of transition metal dichalcogenides via ruthenium(III) chloride by Yeo, Think-E

“…We then use electrical gating to determine the doping density in the TMDs due to the spontaneous charge transfer. Our findings revealed that hole doping in TMDs led to the formation of trions under photoexcitation, as evident from the trion response detected in the reflection contrast spectroscopy performed on molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2). …”

Targeting NAPE-PLD: assessing its potential in the fight against malaria by Goh, Xiu Ling

“…Docking analysis indicated stronger LEI-401 binding affinity for CEPT than P. falciparum NAPE-PLD proteins, supporting CEPT’s involvement in lipid metabolism as a viable target. These findings suggest that while NAPE-PLD may not be a primary target of LEI-401, CEPT offers potential as an alternate target. …”

Role of angiopoietin-like 4 in tumor growth. by Zhu, Pengcheng.

“…In all, we show that enhanced expression of ANGPTL4 is common in tumors, and tumor-derived ANGPTL4 activates integrin-related, oxidant-dependent survival pathways, despite the loss of matrix attachment, suggesting ANGPTL4 as an important novel player in redox-mediated cancer progression. Our findings suggest that anticancer strategies focusing on redox-based apoptosis induction in tumors are viable.…”
