Studies on Biobased Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings with Potential Corrosion Resistance

open access: yesSustainable Chemistry, 2023
This work deals with the development of non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) composites with an aniline oligomer, viz., tetraniline (TANI) for corrosion-resistant coatings.

Molecular recognition by van der Waals interaction between polymers with sequence-specific polarizabilities [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Chem. Phys. 142, 214904 (2015), 2015
We analyze van der Waals interactions between two rigid polymers with sequence-specific, anisotropic polarizabilities along the polymer backbones, so that the dipole moments fluctuate parallel to the polymer backbones. Assuming that each polymer has a quenched-in polarizability sequence which reflects, for example, the polynucleotide sequence of a ...

The PTTG1/VASP axis promotes oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis by modulating focal adhesion and actin filaments

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
VASP was found to be overexpressed in metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues. Notably, PTTG1‐ and VASP‐deficient OSCC cells demonstrated suppressed metastatic properties by disrupting the interaction between the cytoskeleton and focal adhesion (FAs) in the filopodia region.

A novel naturally superoleophilic coconut oil-based foam with inherent hydrophobic properties for oil and grease sorption

open access: yesScientific Reports
Absorption methods using polyurethane foams (PUFs) have recently gained popularity in treating oil spills. However, conventional petroleum-based PUFs lack selectivity and are commonly surface-modified using complicated processes that require toxic and ...

Equilibrium behaviour of two cavity-confined polymers: Effects of polymer width and system asymmetries [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Experiments using nanofluidic devices have proven effective in characterizing the physical properties of polymers confined to small cavities. Two recent studies using such methods examined the organization and dynamics of two DNA molecules in box-like cavities with strong confinement in one direction and with square and elliptical cross sections in the

Cystatin A promotes the antitumor activity of T helper type 1 cells and dendritic cells in murine models of pancreatic cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with very poor prognosis due to therapeutic limitations. We investigated the antitumor effects of cystatin A (CSTA) in PDAC murine models. We are first to confirm that CSTA enhances T helper type 1‐mediated antitumor effects through promotion of dendritic cells and M1 macrophage activity. CSTA can be

Value-Added Products Derived from Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Glycolysis

open access: yesMolecules
Among polymer wastes, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is the most important commercial thermoplastic polyester. Less than 30% of total PET production is recycled into new products. Therefore, large amounts of waste PET need to be recycled. We describe

Cytomembrane nanovaccines show therapeutic effects by mimicking tumor cells and antigen presenting cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Cancer vaccines often fail to generate clinically relevant effects. Here, the authors generate a nanosized cytomembrane vaccine based on fusion between dendritic cells and cancer cells, and show them to activate anti-tumor immune responses via their ...

Peripheral blood leukocyte signatures as biomarkers in relapsed ovarian cancer patients receiving combined anti‐CD73/anti‐PD‐L1 immunotherapy in arm A of the NSGO‐OV‐UMB1/ENGOT‐OV30 trial

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using mass cytometry, we analyzed serial blood samples from patients with relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated with oleclumab–durvalumab combination immunotherapy in the NSGO‐OV‐UMB1/ENGOT‐OV30 trial. Our analysis identified potential predictive, monitoring, and response biomarkers detectable through liquid biopsy. These findings facilitate

Ratiometric upconversion nanothermometry with dual emission at the same wavelength decoded via a time-resolved technique

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Traditional ratiometric temperature monitoring is challenging due to the variation in tissue absorption and scattering of different wavelengths. Here, the authors show improved accuracy by using emission at the same wavelength, but different luminescent ...
