Colloidal chemistry is leveraged for size- and phase-tuning of transition metal dichalcogenide nanomaterials. Specifically, nucleation and growth of colloidal WSe2 nanocrystals are controlled via mixtures of oleic acid (OA) and trioctylphosphine oxide. Increased OA yields slower nucleation, larger nanocrystals and a shift from the 2H to 1T' phase.

Atomically precise nanoclusters can be assembled into ordered superlattices with unique electronic, magnetic, optical and catalytic properties. The co-crystallization of nanoclusters with functional organic molecules provides opportunities to access an even wider range of structures and properties, but can be challenging to control synthetically. Here we introduce a supramolecular approach to direct the assembly of atomically precise silver nanoclusters into a series of nanocluster‒organic ionic co-crystals with tunable structures and properties.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is regarded as a crucial proinflammatory cytokine that controls the migration and entry of macrophages. It has been demonstrated that chemokine ligand 2 and its receptor, Chemokine receptor 2, are both implicated in several liver disorders. In a similar context, immunity mediators are overexpressed and stimulated by MCP-1.

Controlling the rate of electron spin relaxation in paramagnetic molecules is essential for contemporary applications in molecular magnetism and quantum information science. However, the physical mechanisms of spin relaxation remain incompletely understood, and new spectroscopic observables play an important role in evaluating spin dynamics mechanisms and structure-property relationships. Here, we use cryogenic magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) in tandem to examine the impact of ligand field (d-d) excited states on spin relaxation rates.

Soluble, circulating Klotho (sKlotho) is essential for normal health and renal function. sKlotho is shed from the renal distal convoluted tubule (DCT), its primary source, via enzymatic cleavage. However, the physiologic mechanisms that control sKlotho production, trafficking, and shedding are not fully defined.

Extracellular Ca is the first ligand that has been confirmed to function by activating the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a member of G-protein coupled receptors. CaSR controls not only calcium homeostasis, but also plays a pivotal role in many cellular processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis; moreover, it is implicated in the development of cardiovascular diseases. TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway is a classical pathway of renal fibrosis.
