Energy Transfer Studies on Red Emitting CaGdSbWO: Sm/Eu Phosphor for w-LEDs and Indoor Plant Growth Lighting System.

In the present research work, a solid-state reaction method was employed to synthesize a series of CaGdSbWO:SmEu (x = 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 mol%) phosphors. The phase purity, crystallinity, morphological and compositional studies were analysed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis.

Nidogen 2 Overexpression Promotes Hepatosteatosis and Atherosclerosis.

Clinical and genetic studies strongly support a significant connection between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and identify ASCVD as the primary cause of death in NAFLD patients. Understanding the molecular factors and mechanisms regulating these diseases is critical for developing novel therapies that target them simultaneously. Our preliminary immunoblotting experiments demonstrated elevated expression of nidogen 2 (NID2), a basement membrane glycoprotein, in human atherosclerotic vascular tissues and murine steatotic livers.
