TL;DR: In this article, the photophysical properties and spectral shifts of 7-aminocoumarins were investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical study and the spectral shifts were found in accordance with Onsager's coatinuum model and excited state dipole moments were compared to semi-empirically calculated values.

TL;DR: Nano-crystalline diamond (NCD)-coated surfaces were efficiently functionalized with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) by means of physisorption to allow generating highly versatile surfaces with complex biomimetic coatings, essentials for novel medical devices and implants as well as for innovative scaffolds in tissue engineering.

TL;DR: Current evidence suggesting that Interleukin 8 (IL-8) may serve as a useful biomarker is summarized and need for large-scale studies to substantiate accuracy and outcome is summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, the excited singlet states of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN), DMABA, and methyl 4-N, N-dimyilaminobenzoate(DMABME) are studied by a combination of density functional theory and configuration interaction approaches (DFT/SCI).

TL;DR: The photophysical properties of naphthalene were studied in aqueous solution (H2O and D2O), in some organic solvents (ethanol, hexane, and acetonitrile), and in complexes with the cyclodextrins (CDs) α-CD and β-CD, by means of absorption, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, circular dichroism, and triplet−triplet absorption spectroscopies.
