Strong edge stress in molecularly thin organic-inorganic hybrid ruddlesden-popper perovskites and modulations of their edge electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Cai, Yongqing, Lou, Jun, Zhou, Kun

“…Moreover, the desorption energy of the organic molecule can also be much lower at the free edges, making it easier for functionalization and/or substitution events to take place. The findings reported in this work elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for edge states in HRPPs and will be important in guiding the rational design and development of high-performance layer-edge devices. …”

Data-driven approach to spatiotemporal dynamic risk assessment of urban flooding based on shared socio-economic pathways by Wang, Mo, Chen, Furong, Zhang, Dongqing, Chen, Zijing, Su, Jin, Zhou, Shiqi, Li, Jianjun, Chen, Jintang, Li, Jiaying, Tan, Soon Keat

“…Under SSP126 scenario, nearly no change was predicted in the area with high flooding risk, with only increase of 1%, future urbanization hotspots associated with serious flooding risks will likely to be found on the fringe of the GBA's construction areas, in line with the extent of construction land expansion. The finding of this study will shed a comprehensive insight into the identification of spatial and temporal distribution of urban flooding vulnerability to facilitate the exploration of flood mitigation measures associated with dynamic changes in urban land use.…”

The opioid receptor influences circadian rhythms in human keratinocytes through the β-arrestin pathway by Bigliardi, Paul, Junnarkar, Seetanshu, Markale, Chinmay, Lo, Sydney, Bigliardi, Elena, Kalyuzhny, Alex, Ong, Sheena, Dunn, Ray, Wahli, Walter, Bigliardi-Qi, Mei

“…Through the ChIP assay, we determined that Met-Enkephalin enhances β-arrestin-1 binding to acetylated H4 in the PER2 promoter. In summary, our findings suggest that DOPr activation leads to a phase shift in PER2 expression via β-arrestin-1-facilitated chromatin remodeling. …”
