Sensitization Mechanisms of Subphthalocyanine in Photopolymer Coating layer.

Posttranslational mechanisms of peripheral sensitization.

The sensation of pain can be dramatically altered in response to injury or disease. This sensitization can occur at the level of the primary sensory neuron, and can be mediated by multiple biochemical mechanisms, including, but not limited to, changes in gene transcription, changes in translation, stability, or subcellular localization of translated proteins, and posttranslational modifications...

Collagen-based layer-by-layer coating on electrospun polymer scaffolds.

Preparation of microfibre constructs of collagen by electrospinning has been problematic due to the instability of collagen in volatile solvents, such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol, so that electrospinning leads to a substantial amount of gelatin fibres. In the present study we have demonstrated the production of collagen-based microfibre constructs by use of a layer-by-layer coating pro...

Calcium Sensitization Mechanisms in Gastrointestinal Smooth Muscles

An increase in intracellular Ca(2+) is the primary trigger of contraction of gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscles. However, increasing the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the myofilaments by elevating myosin light chain phosphorylation also plays an essential role. Inhibiting myosin light chain phosphatase activity with protein kinase C-potentiated phosphatase inhibitor protein-17 kDa (CPI-17) and myosin...

Adsorption Mechanisms in Layer-by-Layer Films

Chloroboron subphthalocyanine/C60 planar heterojunction organic solar cell with N,N-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene blocking layer

A planar heterojunction organic solar cell (OSC) with high internal quantum efficiency (IQE1⁄495.6% at 590 nm) was demonstrated based on boron subphthalocyanine chloride (SubPc) and C60 as the electron donor and acceptor materials. A thin layer of N,N-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene (mCP), acting as an electron and exciton blocking layer, was inserted between the ITO anode and the SubPc layer to preve...
