Seizure control by decanoic acid through direct AMPA receptor inhibition (2015)
Journal Article
Chang, P., Augustin, K., Boddum, K., Williams, S., Sun, M., Terschak, J. A., …Williams, R. S. (2016). Seizure control by decanoic acid through direct AMPA receptor inhibition. Brain, 139(2), 431-443. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awv325

The medium chain triglyceride ketogenic diet is an established treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy that increases plasma levels of decanoic acid and ketones. Recently, decanoic acid has been shown to provide seizure control in vivo, yet its mechani... Read More about Seizure control by decanoic acid through direct AMPA receptor inhibition.

Exposure to low pH induces molecular level changes in the marine worm, Platynereis dumerilii (2015)
Journal Article
Wäge, J., Lerebours, A., Hardege, J. D., & Rotchell, J. M. (2016). Exposure to low pH induces molecular level changes in the marine worm, Platynereis dumerilii. Ecotoxicology and environmental safety, 124(February), 105-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.2015.10.008

© 2015 Elsevier Inc. Fossil fuel emissions and changes in net land use lead to an increase in atmospheric CO 2 concentration and a subsequent decrease of ocean pH. Noticeable effects on organisms' calcification rate, shell structure and energy metabo...

Oxidized mild steel S235: an efficient anode for the electrocatalytically initiated water-splitting (2015)
Journal Article
Schäfer, H., Küpper, K., Wollschläger, J., Kashaev, N., Hardege, J., Walder, L., …Dorn, F. (2015). Oxidized mild steel S235: an efficient anode for the electrocatalytically initiated water-splitting. ChemSusChem, 8(18), 3099-3110. https://doi.org/10.1002/cssc.201500666

The surface of steel S235 was oxidized by Cl₂ gas and checked for its electrocatalytic efficiency regarding oxygen formation in aqueous solution. If exposed to humid Cl₂ gas for 110 min, steel S235 became an electrocatalyst that exhibits an overpoten...

Stainless steel made to rust: a robust water-splitting catalyst with benchmark characteristics (2015)
Journal Article
Schäfer, H., Sadaf, S., Walder, L., Kuepper, K., Dinklage, S., Wollschläger, J., …Daum, D. (2015). Stainless steel made to rust: a robust water-splitting catalyst with benchmark characteristics. Energy & environmental science, 8(9), 2685-2697. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5ee01601k

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is known as the efficiency-limiting step for the electrochemical cleavage of water mainly due to the large overpotentials commonly used materials on the anode side cause. Since Ni–Fe oxides reduce overpotentials oc... Read More about Stainless steel made to rust: a robust water-splitting catalyst with benchmark characteristics.

Effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii (2015)
Journal Article
Wäge, J., Hardege, J. D., Larsson, T. A., Simakov, O., Chapman, E. C., Arendt, D., & Rotchell, J. M. (2015). Effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii. Marine pollution bulletin, 95(1), 166-172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2015.04.027

An important priority for any organism is to maintain internal cellular homeostasis including acidbase balance. Yet, the molecular level impacts of changing environmental conditions, such as low pH, remain uncharacterised. Herein, we isolate partial...
