Exosomes, microvesicles, and other extracellular vesicles-a Keystone Symposia report

Michele De Palma, Ferdinando Pucci, Qin Zhang

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small, lipid-bilayer-bound particles released by cells that can contain important bioactive molecules, including lipids, RNAs, and proteins. Once released in the extracellular environment, EVs can act as messengers locally ...

Comprehensive proteomic analysis of JC polyomavirus-infected human astrocytes and their extracellular vesicles

Samuel Jones, Alexey Sapozhnik

JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is an opportunistic virus that remains in a latent state in the kidneys and lymphoid organs of more than half of the human adult population. In rare cases of severe immune suppression, the virus is able to establish a lytic infectio ...

Principles of Network Plasticity in Neocortical Microcircuits

András Ecker

Synaptic plasticity underlies our ability to learn and adapt to the constantly changing environment. The phenomenon of synapses changing their efficacy in an activity-dependent manner is often studied in small groups of neurons in vitro or indirectly throu ...

Fractal Analysis of Four Xerogels Based on TEGylated Phenothiazine and Chitosan

Maria-Alexandra Paun

The present article describes novel massive materials (in the solid phase) based on TEGylated phenothiazine and chitosan that possess great capability to recover mercury ions from constituent aqueous solutions. These were produced by chitosan hydrogelation ...

Assemblies, synapse clustering and network topology interact with plasticity to explain structure-function relationships of the cortical connectome

James Gonzalo King, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Giuseppe Chindemi, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, András Ecker, Daniela Egas Santander, Ioannis Magkanaris, Sirio Bolaños Puchet, Jorge Blanco Alonso, James Bryden Isbister

Synaptic plasticity underlies the brain’s ability to learn and adapt. While experiments in brain slices have revealed mechanisms and protocols for the induction of plasticity between pairs of neurons, how these synaptic changes are coordinated in biologica ...

Self-Assembly of N-Rich Triimidazoles on Ag(111): Mixing the Pleasures and Pains of Epitaxy and Strain

Ulrich Aschauer, Christian Wäckerlin, Xing Wang, Mehdi Heydari

In the present report, homochiral hydrogen-bonded assemblies of heavily N-doped (C9H6N6) heterocyclic triimidazole (TT) molecules on an Ag(111) substrate were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) ...

Effect of Mo addition on the mechanical and tribological properties of magnetron sputtered TiN films

Sami Rtimi

Ternary-based titanium nitride (TiN) thin films have drawn attention toward rational applications due to their wear resistance, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. The influence of Mo content on the structural, tribo-logical, and mechanical properties ...
