HIGH-CONDUCTANCE SURFACE-ANCHORING OF A MECHANICALLY FLEXIBLE PLATFORM-BASED PORPHYRIN COMPLEX

The conductances of molecular model junctions comprising a triazatriangulenium platform with or without an ethynyl spacer and an upright Zn-porphyrin are probed Football with a low-temperature scanning probe microscope.The platform alone is found to be highly conductive.The ethynyl-linked Zn-porphyrin moiety reduces the conductance by three orders

BackgroundMetastasis to regional lymph nodes via lymphatic vessels plays a key role in cancer progression.Tumor lymphangiogenesis is known to promote lymphatic metastasis, and vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is a critical activator of tumor lymphangiogenesis during the process of metastasis.We previously identified periostin as an inv
