“Minimal metabolism”: A key concept to investigate the origins and nature of biological systems
(Wiley, 2021-10)The systems view on life and its emergence from complex chemistry has remarkably increased the scientific attention on metabolism in the last two decades. However, during this time there has not been much theoretical ... -
Mitigating the effects of omission errors on area and area change estimates
(Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020-01-01)Information on Earth's land surface and change over time has never been easier to obtain, but making informed decisions to manage land well necessitates that this information is accurate and precise. In recent years, due ... -
Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conducting Membranes (MIEC) for Their Application in Membrane Reactors: A Review
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)Mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes have seen significant progress over the last 25 years as efficient ways to obtain oxygen separation from air and for their integration in chemical production systems where pure ... -
Modeling the Effector - Regulatory T Cell Cross-Regulation Reveals the Intrinsic Character of Relapses in Multiple Sclerosis
(Biomed Central, 2011-07-15)Background: The relapsing-remitting dynamics is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Although current understanding of both cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of ... -
Moireless Correlations in ABCA Graphene
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-01-26)Atomically thin van der Waals materials stacked with an interlayer twist have proven to be an excellent platform toward achieving gate-tunable correlated phenomena linked to the formation of flat electronic bands. In this ... -
Molecular Recognition in C-Type Lectins: The Cases of DC- SIGN, Langerin, MGL, and L-Sectin
(2020-11-02)Carbohydrates play a pivotal role in intercellular communication processes. In particular, glycan antigens are key for sustaining homeostasis, helping leukocytes to distinguish damaged tissues and invading pathogens from ... -
Molecular ruler mechanism and interfacial catalysis of the integral membrane acyltransferase PatA
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-10)[EN]Glycolipids are prominent components of bacterial membranes that play critical roles not only in maintaining the structural integrity of the cell but also in modulating host-pathogen interactions. PatA is an essential ... -
Monitoring Active Sites for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction at Model Carbon Surfaces
(RSC, 2021-03-25)Carbon is ubiquitous as an electrode material in electrochemical energy conversion devices. If used as support material, the evolution of H2 is undesired on carbon. However, recently carbon-based materials are of high ... -
Mono and Di-Fucosylated Glycans of the Parasitic Worm S. Mansoniare Recognized Differently by the Innate Immune Receptor DC-SIGN
(Wiley, 2020-12-01)The parasitic worm,Schistosoma mansoni, expresses unusual fucosylated glycans in a stage-dependent manner that can be recognized by the human innate immune receptor DC-SIGN, thereby shaping host immune responses. We have ... -
Monodisperse N‐Doped Graphene Nanoribbons Reaching 7.7 Nanometers in Length
(Wiley VCH, 2018-01-15)The properties of graphene nanoribbons are highly dependent on structural variables such as width, length, edge structure, and heteroatom doping. Therefore, atomic precision over all these variables is necessary for ... -
Motivational crowding effects in payments for ecosystem services: Exploring the role of instrumental and relational values
(People and Nature, 2022-04-01)Nature is perceived and valued in many different ways. Often, the types of values that are the most important to people depend on how they cognitively frame desirable human–nature relations. For instance, the value of ... -
Multiflat Bands and Strong Correlations in Twisted Bilayer BoronNitride: Doping-Induced Correlated Insulator and Superconductor
(American Chemical Society, 2019-08)Two-dimensional materials, obtained by van der Waals stacking of layers, are fascinating objects of contemporary condensed matter research, exhibiting a variety of new physics. Inspired by the breakthroughs of twisted ... -
Multilevel responses of adult zebrafish to crude and chemically dispersed oil exposure
