Guest-host effect of dyes in polymer dispersed liquid crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The guest-host [GH) effect of a tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) dye in nematic liquid crystals (LC) and polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) has been studied and compared with commercial azo and anthraquinone dyes. The adduct (MORPIP) is a conjugated

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Mathematical Modeling of Recursive Drug Delivery with Diffusion, Equilibrium, and Convection Coupling

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In this work, a mathematical model to describe drug delivery from polymer coatings on implants is proposed. Release predictability is useful for development and understanding of drug release mechanisms from controlled delivery systems. The proposed model

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

Scattering Light Interference from Liquid Crystal Polymer Dispersion Films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
[[abstract]]The Q etelet-type ring pattern is observed in liquid crystal polymer dispersion (LCPD) films. The clusters of the polymer network and liquid crystal (LC) domains with different director axes in the LCPD films serve as scatterers.

Dynamics and uniformity of reorientation in liquid crystal cells with PVK alignment layers

open access: yes, 2003
We present experimental results on dynamics of Freedericksz transition in liquid crystal cells with alignment layers made of poly(N-vinyl carbazole). DC electric field causes the build-up of, unusually strong, surface charge layers on a liquid crystal ...

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Metal‐Support Interaction Triggered Electronic Reconstruction in Pd/CoN‐Co4N Catalysts for Optimizing MEK Oxidation and Poisoning Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Science
The development of noble metal catalysts integrating high activity with strong poisoning resistance remains highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, the metallic electron‐donating property of a cobalt nitride support is leveraged to enhance the electron
