Open AccessAged bone matrix-derived extracellular vesicles as a messenger for calcification paradox
Adipocyte differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BMSCs) instead of osteoblast formation contributes to age- and menopause-related marrow adiposity and osteoporosis. Vascular calcificati...

Open AccessEnhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3 modified TiO2 prepared by atomic layer deposition
In this work, commercial anatase TiO2 powders were modified using ultrathin Fe2O3 layer by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The ultrathin Fe2O3 coating having small bandgap of 2.20 eV can increase the visible light...

Open AccessInvestigation of beam splitter in a zero-refractive-index photonic crystal at the frequency of Dirac-like point
The Dirac-like cone dispersion of the photonic crystal induced by the three-fold accidental degeneracy at the Brillouin center is calculated in this paper. Such photonic crystals can be mapped to zero-refracti...
