Heterocycles from Cyclopropanation of Five-Membered Heteroarenes
The cyclopropantion of five-membered heteroarenes provides a facile entry to a broad variety of heterocycles, capitalizing on the high reactivity of carbenes to initially break the aromaticity of the starting ...

Open AccessInterstitial boron-doped mesoporous semiconductor oxides for ultratransparent energy storage
Realizing transparent and energy-dense supercapacitor is highly challenging, as there is a trade-off between energy storing capability and transparency in the active material film. We report here that intersti...

17β-Estradiol induces vasorelaxation in a G-protein-coupled receptor 30-independent manner
17β-Estradiol (E2) exerts rapid non-genomic vascular effects through activation of its plasma membrane receptors. We tested the hypothesis that E2 induces vasorelaxation through activation of the G-protein-cou...
