Control energy of complex networks towards distinct mixture states [PDF]
Controlling complex networked systems is a real-world puzzle that remains largely unsolved. Despite recent progress in understanding the structural characteristics of network control energy, target state and system dynamics have not been explored.

Universality of Osmotic Equation of State in Star Polymer Solutions [PDF]
We experimentally measure the osmotic pressures of linear polymers and three-, four-, and eight-arm star polymers in a good solvent via membrane osmometry. These results reveal that the osmotic equations of state in the star polymer solutions are universally described by the same scaling function that describes linear polymer solutions.

PFO-BPy Solubilizers for SWNTs: Modelling of Polymers from Oligomers [PDF]
Due to their exeptional physical properties, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) embedded in organic polymers (polymer-SWNT hybrid systems) are promising materials for organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Already at the SWNT sorting and debundling step, polymers such as the copolymer of 9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl and bipyridine (PFO-BPy) are used ...

Cracks and Crazes: On calculating the macroscopic fracture energy of glassy polymers from molecular simulations [PDF]
We combine molecular dynamics simulations of deformations at the submicron scale with a continuum fracture mechanics calculation for the onset of crack propagation to predict the macroscopic fracture toughness of amorphous glassy polymers. Key ingredients in this multiscale approach are the elastic properties of polymer crazes and the stress at which ...

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

Significantly enhanced polymer thermal conductivity by confining effect through bilayer MoS2 Surfaces [PDF]
The present work refers to a simulation study on nanoconfined polymers in polymer-MoS 2 nanocomposites as a function of MoS 2 -MoS 2 interlayer separation. We indeed apply reverse nonequlibrium molecular dynamics simulations (RNEMD) to investigate thermal conductivity of polyamide oligomers which is confined by MoS 2 bilayers.

Trastuzumab‐deruxtecan, a HER2‐targeting antibody‐drug conjugate, shows promising antitumor activity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with low HER2 expression. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated dose‐dependent cell death and tumor growth reduction in low HER2‐expressing cell lines, which correlated with drug accumulation measured using a
