Proteins and polymers

open access: yes, 2005
Proteins, chain molecules of amino acids, behave in ways which are similar to each other yet quite distinct from standard compact polymers. We demonstrate that the Flory theorem, derived for polymer melts, holds for compact protein native state ...

Pioglitazone plus (−)‐epigallocatechin gallate: a novel approach to enhance osteogenic performance in aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (

A review of Monte Carlo simulations of polymers with PERM

open access: yes, 2011
In this review, we describe applications of the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method (PERM), a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm with resampling, to various problems in polymer physics.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Polyurethanes from fluoroalkyl propyleneglycol polyethers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
A description is given of highly stable polyurethane polymers prepared by reacting a polyether with a diisocyanate. Compounded stocks of these polymers may be shaped and cured in conventional equipment used in the rubber industry.

Aging of Polymers [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1975
This paper provides background on the basic chemical processes which can occur during the exposure of polymers to typical end-use environments such as air, sunlight, water vapor, and various atmospheric pollutant gases.

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

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 ...
