Abstract: Monocytes are active at the crossroads between inflammation and coagulation processes since they can secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines and express tissue factor (TF), a major initiator of coagulation. Cobalt-chrome (CoCr), a metal alloy, used as a… read more here.

Abstract: The addition of a polar-hydrophobic methylammonium trifluoroacetate ionic liquid tailors the hydrophobicity of halide-perovskite precursor solutions and assists in grain growth. This unique additive also functionalizes the grain boundaries via polar-polar interactions, thereby enhancing the… read more here.
