Strain is a novel approach to manipulating functionalities in correlated complex oxides. However, significant epitaxial strain can only be achieved in ultrathin layers. We show that, under direct lattice matching framework, large and uniform vertical strain up to 2% can be achieved to significantly modify the magnetic anisotropy, magnetism, and magnetotransport properties in heteroepitaxial nan...

We herein report the real-time observation of G-quadruplex formation by monitoring the G-quadruplex-induced global change of two duplexes incorporated in a DNA nanoscaffold. The introduced G-rich strands formed an interstrand (3 + 1) G-quadruplex structure in the presence of K(+), and the formed four-stranded structure was disrupted by removal of K(+). These conformational changes were visualiz...

Nanofiber scaffolds and bio-ceramic nanoparticles have been widely used in bone tissue engineering. The use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) on this scaffold can be considered as a new approach in the differentiation of bone tissue. In the present study, a polyaniline-gelatin-polycaprolactone (PANi-GEL-PCL) composite nanoscaffold was made by electrospinning and modified superfic...

A silica microparticle has been successfully employed as a nanoscaffold to self-organize porphyrin and C60 molecules on a nanostructured SnO2 electrode which exhibits efficient photocurrent generation.

The sterically shielded terpyridine was prepared, both as a new ligand and as part of the four-station nanoscaffold . Mixing of terpyridine , the parent phenanthroline and the shielded phenanthroline in the presence of Zn(2+) (1 : 1 : 1 : 1) furnished quantitatively the inverse HETTAP complex [Zn()()](2+) by self-sorting, while in the presence of Cu(+) the HETPHEN complex [Cu()()](+) was prefer...

Background: The effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and nanoscaffolds were evaluated in enhancing wound healing irradiated albino rats. Methods: Sixty-four male rats subjected to 6 grays (Gy) gamma (γ)-rays. Surgical wounds created on the rats’ backs they randomly assigned one four groups (16 each); these an control group, which did not receive treatment, NS group tre...

PAPER Michael Schmittel et al. Reversible cargo shipping between orthogonal stations of a nanoscaff old upon redox input The sterically shielded terpyridine 5 was prepared, both as a new ligand and as part of the four-station nanoscaffold 2. Mixing of terpyridine 5, the parent phenanthroline 4 and the shielded phenanthroline 3 in the presence of Zn 2+ (1 : 1 : 1 : 1) furnished quantitatively th...

This paper reports the utilization of capillary microfluidics to rapidly create nanostructure-patterned electrodes for energy storage applications. Using patterned photoresist as open-channel capillary microfluidics, Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) bio-nanoscaffolds suspended in solution are autonomously delivered onto planar gold electrodes over a 1 cm2 area. The TMVs assemble on the electrode and ...

An important aspect of orthopedic implant integration is the enhancement of functional activity of osteoblasts at the tissue-implant interface without any fibrous tissue intervention. Nanostructured implant surfaces are known to enhance osteoblast activity. Previously, we have reported a simple hydrothermal method for the fabrication of non-periodic nanostructures (nanoscaffold, nanoleaves and ...
