Encountering the Great Problems in the Street: Enacting Hermeneutic Philosophy as Research in Practice Disciplines

open access: yesJournal of Applied Hermeneutics, 2016
In this paper, we speak to tenets of Gadamerian hermeneutic philosophy that “guide” our hermeneutic inquiry in research that seeks to understand the complexity of human experiences. In our conduct of hermeneutic research, we grapple with “great problems”

Other-than-Human Perspectives on Écosystème(s): Towards an ecosemiotic approach to sound and media art

open access: yesOrganised Sound
Sound and new media arts appear to be both historical and contemporary means to invest in the notion of more-than-human. Although the concept was formulated in the late 1990s (Abram 1996), certain related practices in art works exploring machine or animal agency have existed since the 1960s, especially in new media arts using sound, video, and ...

Gold Nanorods in Cardiac Millitissues: Assessing Mechanical and Contractile Dynamics in a Living Engineering Myocardium Model

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel platform for assessing the active mechanical behavior of living cardiac microbundles through localized nanoindentation, integrated with temperature regulation and dual‐camera imaging systems. The developed system enables quantitative evaluation of dynamic micromechanics in engineered cardiac tissues in vitro, offering ...

Natural Products Inspired Scaffold Diversification Leads to Unnatural Molecular Warhead and Covalent Strategy to Modulating Protein Function through Electrophilic Bromine Transfer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a new thiolate‐reactive α,α‐gem‐dibromo lactam warhead that activates transcription factor Nrf2 and demonstrates anti‐inflammatory activities, which have implications in cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. RNA‐seq illuminated detailed transcriptional profiles, and chemical reactions with cysteine‐containing compounds ...

β‐Triketone‐Based Ionizable Cationic Lipids Synthesized via Click Chemistry for siRNA Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study innovatively applies β‐triketone‐based click chemistry in the synthesis of ionizable cationic lipids (ICLs), which allows the generation of a lipid library in large quantities and in a short time. The ICLs identified achieved effective lipid nanoparticles‐mediated hepatic gene silencing in vivo using siRNA, and computational simulations are ...

Organic Crystal‐MXene Composites as Temperature‐Tolerant Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible organic crystals offer significant opportunities for organic electronics; however, their potential applications in fields like flexible sensors are at present limited by poor charge transport that result in failure under reversible conditions.
