Tuning the viscoelastic properties of peptide coacervates by single amino acid mutations and salt kosmotropicity

Communications Chemistry
Coacervation, or liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biomacromolecules, is increasingly recognized to play an important role both intracellularly and in the extracellular space. Central questions that remain to be addressed are the links between the

Synthesis and characterization of novel scaffold for bone tissue engineering based on Whartons´s jelly [PDF]

, 2017
A composite is a material made of more than one component, and the bond between the components is on a scale larger than the atomic scale. The objective of the present study was to synthesize and perform the structural characterization and biological ...

Double-Ligand [Fe/PNP/PP₃] and Their Hybrids [Fe/SiO₂@PNP/PP₃] as Catalysts for H₂-Production from HCOOH

Energies
Two types of iron-based catalysts, [Fe/SiO2@iProPNP/PP3] and [Fe/SiO2@tBuPNP/PP3], for the dehydrogenation of formic acid (FADH), were synthesized. These catalysts were developed using a double-ligand approach combining a PNP ligand and a PP3 ligand ...

Biomimetic emulsions reveal the effect of homeostatic pressure on cell-cell adhesion

, 2012
Cell-cell contacts in tissues are continuously subject to mechanical forces due to homeostatic pressure and active cytoskeleton dynamics. While much is known about the molecular pathways of adhesion, the role of mechanics is less well understood.
