Equilibrium characteristics of semiflexible polymer solutions near probe particles [PDF]

, 2008
We present a numerical analysis of the mean-field theory for the structure of semiflexible polymer solutions near spherical surfaces, and use the framework to study the depletion characteristics of semiflexible polymers near colloids and nanoparticles ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Environmental Noise and Nonlinear Relaxation in Biological Systems [PDF]

, 2011
We analyse the effects of environmental noise in three different biological systems: (i) mating behaviour of individuals of \emph{Nezara viridula} (L.) (Heteroptera Pentatomidae); (ii) polymer translocation in crowded solution; (iii) an ecosystem ...

Engineering polymer informatics: Towards the computer-aided design of polymers [PDF]

, 2008
The computer-aided design of polymers is one of the holy grails of modern chemical informatics and of significant interest for a number of communities in polymer science. The paper outlines a vision for the in silico design of polymers and presents an

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

Fabrication of helix–fiber composites with mechanically coupled core-wrapping for programmable properties

Communications Materials, 2023
Helix-fiber composites (HFCs), which involve wrapping a material around a flexible core, are of interest for intelligent stretchable functional materials or devices.

Next‐generation proteomics improves lung cancer risk prediction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This is one of very few studies that used prediagnostic blood samples from participants of two large population‐based cohorts. We identified, evaluated, and validated an innovative protein marker model that outperformed an established risk prediction model and criteria employed by low‐dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening trials.

A negative piezo-conductive effect from doped semiconducting polymer thin films

Scientific Reports, 2021
In the past years, piezo-conductive sensors have drawn great attention in both academic and industrial sectors. The piezo-conductive sensors made by inorganic semiconductors exhibited poor mechanical flexibility, restricting their further practical ...
