A Supramolecular Polymer Formed by Small Molecules

open access: yesCell Reports Physical Science, 2020
Summary: Supramolecular polymers are intriguing due to their thermal reversible and stimuli-responsive properties. However, most supramolecular polymers reported thus far have poor mechanical properties due to the low bonding energy of the non-covalent ...

Prolonged recovery of 3D printed, photo-cured polylactide shape memory polymer networks

open access: yesAPL Bioengineering, 2020
Shape memory polymers are materials that are able to retain a deformed state until an external stimulus, most typically heat, triggers recovery to the original geometry.

Application of shape memory alloys in facial nerve paralysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: The Facial Nerve can be damaged at a peripheral level by a stroke or, for example by trauma or infection within the face or the ear. In these cases the facial muscles are paralysed with little or no chance of spontaneous recovery.

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...
