Shape memory polyimides based on different pendant structures

Polymer Testing, 2023
Shape memory materials with controllable property for harsh condition like high temperature are strongly required. Here, three novel shape memory polyimides (SMPIs) have been realized by bearing various side-chain groups (-H, –CH3 or –OCH3) to study ...

Homogenization in magnetic-shape-memory polymer composites

, 2017
Magnetic-shape-memory materials (e.g. specific NiMnGa alloys) react with a large change of shape to the presence of an external magnetic field. As an alternative for the difficult to manifacture single crystal of these alloys we study composite materials

Pore-blockade Times for Field-Driven Polymer Translocation [PDF]

, 2008
We study pore blockade times for a translocating polymer of length $N$, driven by a field $E$ across the pore in three dimensions. The polymer performs Rouse dynamics, i.e., we consider polymer dynamics in the absence of hydrodynamical interactions.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...
