Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Triblock Copolymer Complexes [PDF]

, 2010
Four different poly(tert-butoxystyrene)-b-polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PtBOS-b-PS-b-P4VP) linear triblock copolymers, with the P4VP weight fraction varying from 0.08 to 0.39, were synthesized via sequential anionic polymerization.

Templated PISA: Driving Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly towards Fibre Morphology [PDF]

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018
AbstractDispersions of block copolymer fibres in water have many potential applications and can be obtained by polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA), but only under very restricted experimental conditions. In order to enlarge this experimental window, we introduced a supramolecular moiety, a hydrogen‐bonded bis‐urea sticker, in the macromolecular

Nonthermal Plasma Technology as a Versatile Strategy for Polymeric Biomaterials Surface Modification: A Review [PDF]

, 2009
In modern technology, there is a constant need to solve very complex problems and to fine-tune existing solutions. This is definitely the case in modern medicine with emerging fields such as regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Shape Changes of Self-Assembled Actin Bilayer Composite Membranes

, 1997
We report the self-assembly of thin actin shells beneath the membranes of giant vesicles. Ion-carrier mediated influx of Mg2+ induces actin polymerization in the initially spherical vesicles.

A pharmacological cocktail for arresting actin dynamics in living cells. [PDF]

, 2011
The actin cytoskeleton is regulated by factors that influence polymer assembly, disassembly, and network rearrangement. Drugs that inhibit these events have been used to test the role of actin dynamics in a wide range of cellular processes.

Field-control, phase-transitions, and life's emergence [PDF]

, 2012
Instances of critical-like characteristics in living systems at each organizational level as well as the spontaneous emergence of computation (Langton), indicate the relevance of self-organized criticality (SOC).

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Growing Polymer Vesicles Generated by Polymerization Induced Self-Assembly Coupled With a Living Chemical Reactor

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Chemical oscillatory reactions have attracted intensive attention due to their autonomous, continuous, and periodic features. Herein, the radicals generated in Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillator was used to initiate RAFT (reversible addition ...

Autoinhibition of the formin Cappuccino in the absence of canonical autoinhibitory domains. [PDF]

, 2012
Formins are a conserved family of proteins known to enhance actin polymerization. Most formins are regulated by an intramolecular interaction. The Drosophila formin, Cappuccino (Capu), was believed to be an exception.
