Characterising the expression and interactions of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Oxidoreductase Erol β [PDF]
Proteins destined for the secretory pathway and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident proteins are targeted to the ER through an N-terminal signal sequence. Proteins then follow a post-translational maturation process to fold into functional proteins.

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Lactate Dehydrogenase-B Oxidation and Inhibition by Singlet Oxygen and Hypochlorous Acid
Alterations in cellular energy metabolism are a hallmark of cancer and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzymes are overexpressed in many cancers regardless of sufficient oxygen and functional mitochondria. Further, L-lactate plays signaling roles in multiple

Barrier‐Assisted Plasma Doping for Spatially Selective Resistance Engineering in MoS2 Transistors
Barrier‐assisted NH3 plasma doping enables damage‐free, spatially selective carrier modulation in monolayer MoS2 transistors. An ultrathin pV3D3/Al2O3 protective‐dielectric stack acts as a chemical filter that allows NHx radicals to reach the MoS2 surface while blocking plasma damage. This process achieves a high electron concentration of 4.3 × 1013 cm−
