Currently, there are only few reports on water-soluble photoinitiating systems. In this study, a highly water-soluble organic dye i.e.

Here we investigated effects of CAR-T cells on the innate immune system which is an important contributor to pathology in SSc.

Multimodal nonlinear optical microscopy, combining coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF), and second-harmonic generation (SHG) with deep learning-based analysis routines, offers label-free assessment of the tissue's morphochemical composition and allows early-stage and automatic detection of disease. For clinical intraoperative application, compact devices are required.

Hydrodynamic interactions are accounted for using multi-particle collision dynamics. The polymer chain, originally containing a simple trefoil knot at rest, is described by a coarse-grained bead-spring model in a coil or globular state.

In the present work, we study the oxidation of monomeric bis(3,6-di--butyl-catecholato)silane (1), leading to the Lewis superacidic radicalic silylium ionradical 1˙+ (FIA 784 kJ mol). Oxidation of 1 with [N(-CHBr)][B(CF)] yielded [1][B(CF)], displaying strong catalytic activity in the Friedel-Crafts-dimerization, hydrodeoxygenation and carbonyl-olefin-metathesis.
