Segmented multiblock polyolefin compatibilizers from non-living metathesis chain-shuffling

Nature Communications
The mechanical properties of mixed plastics can be enhanced by block copolymer compatibilizer additives. Here we report a series of semi-crystalline/semi-crystalline linear multiblock copolymers of LLDPE and PP, the two most abundant plastics, from a non-

Comparison of Berkovich and spherical tip indentation for determining the Young’s modulus of polymer thin films encapsulated by a dielectric

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings
Pixel integrated micro-lenses for CMOS image sensors consist of a stack of polymer acrylate resin films encapsulated by a dielectric layer. Due to the mismatch of thermomechanical properties, adhesive or cohesive fractures can occur.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Advances in biomaterials for osteonecrosis treatment

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Osteonecrosis, or ischemic osteonecrosis, occurs when bone tissue dies due to a reduced blood supply. This process begins with the death of osteocytes and is followed by the development of necrotic bone tissue.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.
