Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Conjugate Vaccines Targeting Tumor-Associated Carbohydrate Antigens

Vaccines
The surface of cancer cells is covered in abnormal carbohydrate antigens that facilitate tumor growth, immune evasion and metastasis. Overexpressed and often specific to cancer cells, these tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) offer a valuable ...

A Kinetic Model for the Enzymatic Action of Cellulase [PDF]

, 2009
We develop a mechanochemical model for the dynamics of cellulase, a two-domain enzyme connected by a peptide linker, as it extracts and hydrolyzes a cellulose polymer from a crystalline substrate.

Conformational change and selectivity in explicitly hydrated carbohydrates

Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 2009
The combination of vibrational spectroscopy, conducted in a supersonic jet expansion, with computation through molecular mechanics, density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio calculation, has provided a new approach to the conformational and structural assignment of carbohydrates and their molecular complexes.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Thermo‐Fluorescent Bactericidal Quantum Dots Based Smart Multifunctional Textiles via Molecular Surface Engineering and 3D‐Printed Interlocked Architectures

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A versatile approach is presented for fabricating smart multifunctional textiles by integrating thermo‐fluorescent carbon dot/polymer nanocomposite coatings with 3D‐printed interlocked architectures. The fabrics exhibit temperature‐responsive fluorescence, durable hydrophobicity, strong antibacterial and antioxidant activity, and enhanced UV protection.

Transcriptional activation of the Myc gene by glucose in β-cells requires a ChREBP-dependent 3-D chromatin interaction between the Myc and Pvt1 genes

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: All forms of diabetes result from insufficient functional β-cell mass. Thus, achieving the therapeutic goal of expanding β-cell mass requires a better mechanistic understanding of how β-cells proliferate.

Intake, growth and meat quality of steers given diets based on varying proportions of maize silage and grass silage [PDF]

, 2005
Simmental × Holstein-Friesian steers were offered four forage diets. These comprised grass silage (G); proportionately 0·67 grass silage, proportionately 0·33 maize silage (GGM); 0·33 grass silage, 0·67 maize silage ( MMG); maize silage ( M) from 424 (s ...
