SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-ACE2 interaction increases carbohydrate sulfotransferases and reduces N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase by p38 MAPK
This article describes how increased chondroitin sulfate may contribute to the pathogenesis of Covid-19 due to increased biosynthesis and reduced arylsulfatase B-mediated degradation.
Cross-catenation between position-isomeric metallacages
The study of cross-catenated metallacages, which are complex self-assembly systems arising from multiple supramolecular interactions and hierarchical assembly processes, is currently lacking. We report a cross-catenane formed between two position-isomeric Pt(II) metallacages in the solid state.

Defect induced giant electromechanical effects: the backstory
Barium Titanate is a well known ferroelectric and piezoelectric material, i.e. materials that strain with voltage. We show in this work that one can remove ferroelectricity in this material by placing defects, yet, hugely enhancing the electromechanical effects. This is useful in context of M/NEMS.
Nanocomposite Electrocatalyst Enables High-Power Li||S Batteries
Despite high energy density exhibited by lithium||sulfur (Li||S) batteries, charge-discharge rates remain low, limiting practical application under high-power output. The objective of this study is to boost sulfur reduction kinetics for high-power Li||S batteries.

Opinion leaders on sporting events for country branding Natalia Vila-Lopez, Ines Küster (2024)
This work examines how an opinion leader contribute to city branding. It was financed by Consellería de Innovación, Universidades, Ciencia y Sociedad Digital de la Generalitat Valenciana. AICO 2022 CIAICO/2021/062: “El deporte en la construcción de marca país: el turista y el residente”.
Segmenting the audience of a cause-related marketing viral campaign Elísabet Mora, Natalia Vila-Lopez, Inés Küster-Boluda (2021)
This work aims to ascertain if the effectiveness of viral advertising depends on the previous affinity level of the audience (experience with the brand or with the cause): high, moderate or low. Supported by Generalitat Valenciana under the predoctoral grant programme VALi+d, ACIF/2015/227.
