Platelets are small cellular fragments derived from megakaryocytes and circulate in the bloodstream at 250.000-400.000/μl. Platelets are responsible for hemostasis, but are also involved in thrombosis, inflammation and tissue repair. More importantly, recent evidence suggests a role for circulating platelets in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Actually, platelets express and contain high amounts of am...

An organic semiconductor laser, simply fabricated by UV-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL), that is pumped with a pulsed InGaN LED is demonstrated. Molecular weight optimization of the polymer gain medium on a nanoimprinted polymer distributed feedback resonator enables the lowest reported UV-NIL laser threshold density of 770 W cm(-2) , establishing the potential for scalable organic laser fabri...

A study of resonance production in central pp collisions is presented as a function of several kinematical variables. In particular the difference in the transverse momentum (dP T) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed q ¯ q mesons are suppressed at small dP T whereas glueball candidates are enhanced and in addition, the azimuthal angle φ gives information on the nature of the Pomero...

In this work, we provide estimates of the branching ratios, direct $CP$ asymmetries and triple product in $B_{(s)} \to (\pi\pi)(K\pi)$ decays perturbative QCD approach, where $\pi\pi$ $K\pi$ invariant mass spectra are dominated by vector resonances $\rho(770)$ $K^*(892)$, respectively. Some scalar backgrounds, such as $f_0(500,980) \pi\pi$ $K^*_0(1430) K\pi$ also accounted for. The $\rho(700)$ ...

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is unique among ion channels in that after its phosphorylation by protein kinase A (PKA), its ATP-dependent gating violates microscopic reversibility caused by the intimate involvement of ATP hydrolysis in controlling channel closure. Recent studies suggest a gating model featuring an energetic coupling between opening and closing of th...

The decay $D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta$ is observed for the first time, using $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.32 fb$^{-1}$, collected by BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV. absolute branching fraction this measured be $\mathcal{B}(D^+_s \to \pi^+ \pi^- \eta) = (3.12\pm0.13_{\rm stat.}\pm0.09_{\rm syst....
