Ring-opening metathesis polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROMPISA)
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROMPISA) has expanded the preparation of PISA nano-objects beyond radical polymerization approaches. In this highlight article, we summarize current advances and existing challenges in ROMPISA methodologies.

Arabidopsis kinetochore fiber-associated MAP65-4 cross-links microtubules and promotes microtubule bundle elongation [PDF]
The acentrosomal plant mitotic spindle is uniquely structured in that it lacks opposing centrosomes at its poles and is equipped with a connective preprophase band that regulates the spatial framework for spindle orientation and mobility.

Sensor potency of the moonlighting enzyme-decorated cytoskeleton [PDF]
Background: There is extensive evidence for the interaction of metabolic enzymes with the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. The significance of these interactions is far from clear.

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

Shape Changes of Self-Assembled Actin Bilayer Composite Membranes
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.

Catalytic polymeric nanoreactors : more than a solid supported catalyst [PDF]
Polymeric nanostructures can be synthesized where the catalytic motif is covalently attached within the core domain and protected from the environment by a polymeric shell.

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

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