Voxelated liquid crystal elastomers
Science, 2015 Making small actuators more effective Liquid-crystal molecules orient locally in response to external fields. When long-chain liquid-crystalline molecules are crosslinked together, changes in local orientation can lead to significant volume changes. Ware

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We identified adaptor protein ShcD as upregulated in triple‐negative breast cancer and found its expression to be correlated with reduced patient survival and increased invasion in cell models. Using a proteomic screen, we identified novel ShcD binding partners involved in EGFR signaling pathways.

Mapping Hsp104 interactions using cross‐linking mass spectrometry
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study examines how cross‐linking mass spectrometry can be utilized to analyze ATP‐induced conformational changes in Hsp104 and its interactions with substrates. We developed an analytical pipeline to distinguish between intra‐ and inter‐subunit contacts within the hexameric homo‐oligomer and discovered contacts between Hsp104 and a selected ...

Arrhenius temperature dependence of the crystallization time of deeply supercooled liquids [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Usually, supercooled liquids and glasses are thermodynamically unstable against crystallization. Classical nucleation theory (CNT) has been used to describe the crystallization dynamics of supercooled liquids. However, recent studies on overcompressed hard spheres show that their crystallization dynamics are intermittent and mediated by avalanche-like ...

Graphene-based liquid crystal device. [PDF]
Nano letters (Print), 2008 Graphene is only one atom thick, optically transparent, chemically inert, and an excellent conductor. These properties seem to make this material an excellent candidate for applications in various photonic devices that require conducting but transparent ...

CNS Mitochondria‐Derived Vesicle in Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Brain Mitochondria Dysfunction
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Our goal was to develop practical, noninvasive methods to assess mitochondrial status through the detection of mitochondria‐derived vesicles (MDVs).
