LipoGels: Robust Self‐Lubricating Physically Cross‐Linked Alginate Hydrogels Embedded with Liposomes

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 7, 22 January 2026.
Physically cross‐linked alginate hydrogels embedded with 1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine liposomes (LipoGels) are prepared under optimized conditions to avoid shrinkage and achieve structural uniformity. LipoGels demonstrate robust mechanical strength (Young's modulus ≈1 MPa), excellent lubrication (friction coefficient ≈0.021), and ...

Electrostatically‐Driven Collapse of Polyelectrolytes: The Role of the Solvent's Dielectric Constant

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 20, Page 4207-4218, 15 October 2025.
The structure of polyelectrolytes in solution is studied in media of low and high dielectric permittivity. For high dielectric constant solvents, repulsion between dissociated groups leads to extended conformations. In low dielectric constant solvents, attraction between condensed counterions leads to chain collapse, regardless of solvent quality ...

A Public health wound: health and work among children engaged in the worst forms of child labour in the informal sector in Dhaka, Bangladesh: a retrospective analysis of Médecins Sans Frontières occupational health data from 2014 to 2023

BMC Public Health
Background Bangladesh has the second highest burden of child labour in South Asia. The informal sector employs most of the children however, data on health including injuries and place of work for children are limited. As the deadline for the Sustainable

Cold versus thermal neutron source: assessment of performance of the KWS‐2 SANS diffractometer of the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science at the FRM II reactor

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1582-1594, October 2025.
The performance of the small‐angle neutron scattering (SANS) diffractometer KWS‐2 is evaluated by measurements and McStas simulations under the condition that only the thermal neutron source is available at the FRM II reactor. This is compared with the established performance with cold neutrons provided by the cold neutron source.The small‐angle ...

In hospite and ex hospite architecture of photosynthetic thylakoid membranes in Symbiodinium spp. using small‐angle neutron scattering

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1516-1525, October 2025.
Small‐angle neutron scattering is used to detect signals from the photosynthetic membranes of symbiotic algae living inside and outside their host corals and anemones. A model is constructed for the scattering that allows the architecture of the triple membrane stack be understood in living organisms, with implications for their physiology.We ...

Mixed-method evaluation study of a targeted mass drug administration of long-acting anti-malarials among children aged 3 months to 15 years in the Bossangoa sub-prefecture, Ouham, Central African Republic, during the COVID-19 pandemic

Malaria Journal
Background In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) initiated three cycles of dihydroartemisin-piperaquine (DHA-PQ) mass drug administration (MDA) for children aged three months to 15 years within Bossangoa sub-prefecture ...
