Absence of specific alternatively spliced exon of CD44 in macrophages prevents colitis

CD44 is a transmembrane molecule appearing in numerous isoforms generated by insertions of alternatively spliced variant exons (CD44v) and having various binding partners. CD44v7 on T cells was proposed to promote colitis by preventing T-cell apoptosis. He ...

Thermodynamic stability of alkali-metal-zinc double-cation borohydrides at low temperatures

Nicola Marzari, Riccardo Sabatini

We study the thermodynamic stability at low temperatures of a series of alkali-metal-zinc double-cation borohydrides, including LiZn(BH4)(3), LiZn2(BH4)(5), NaZn(BH4)(3), NaZn2(BH4)(5), KZn(BH4)(3), and KZn2(BH4)(5). While LiZn2(BH4)(5), NaZn(BH4)(3), NaZn ...

Structural evolution of amino acid crystals under stress from a non-empirical density functional

Riccardo Sabatini

Use of the non-local correlation functional vdW-DF (from 'van der Waals density functional'; Dion M et al 2004 Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 246401) has become a popular approach for including van der Waals interactions within density functional theory. In this work ...
