Effects of Photopatterning Conditions on Azimuthal Surface Anchoring Strength
CrystalsSpatially varying alignment of liquid crystals is essential for research and applications. One widely used method is based on the photopatterning of thin layers of azo-dye molecules, such as Brilliant Yellow (BY), that serve as an aligning substrate for ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Liquid crystal VAN tilt bias by surface relief patterning [PDF]
, 2004 Liquid Crystal Displays require controlled alignment of the liquid crystal molecular director at its confining surfaces. These surfaces may be coated glass or in the case of 'Liquid Crystal On Silicon' (LCOS) technology, a silicon backplane.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Thin aligned organic polymer films for liquid crystal devices [PDF]
, 1997 This project was designed to investigate the possibility of producing alignment layers for liquid crystal devices by cross-linking thin films containing anisotropic polymer bound chromophores via irradiation with polarised ultra violet light.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Experimental and theoretical investigations into the switching of liquid crystal devices [PDF]
, 2007 This work addresses the dynamic switching of liquid crystal cells. While static measurements of the permittivity liquid crystal cells are well established, here a novel transient permittivity technique is developed and applied to several liquid ...

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Synthesis of Distinct Iron Oxide Nanomaterial Shapes Using Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Solvents
Nanomaterials, 2017 A room temperature reduction-hydrolysis of Fe(III) precursors such as FeCl3 or Fe(acac)3 in various lyotropic liquid crystal phases (lamellar, hexagonal columnar, or micellar) formed by a range of ionic or neutral surfactants in H2O is shown to be an ...
