The nucleoid as a smart polymer [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Science has a close but very complex relationship with technology (Latour, 1987). A simple phenomenon is that technology enables science by offering tools that provide new data or new kinds of data. In other cases, aspects or views of the empirical world may remain invisible until technology builds something that unveils them to the eyes of the ...

A rationally designed cancer vaccine based on NIR-II fluorescence image-guided light-triggered remote control of antigen cross-presentation and autophagy

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2023
Cancer vaccines represent a promising immunotherapeutic treatment modality. The promotion of cross-presentation of extracellular tumor-associated antigens on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules and dendritic cell maturation at ...

Pheophorbide A–Mediated Photodynamic Therapy Potentiates Checkpoint Blockade Therapy of Tumor with Low PD–L1 Expression

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2022
Although the immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has made a great success in cancer immunotherapy, the overall response rate to the ICB, such as anti–programmed death ligand 1 (PD–L1) therapy, remains only at 20–30%.

Supramolecular control over self-assembly and double thermoresponsive behavior of an amphiphilic block copolymer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly[N, N-dimethylacrylamide-ran-2-acrylamidoethyl nonanoate] (PEG-b-P(DMA-AAEN)) block copolymer has been demonstrated to show double thermoresponsive behavior in aqueous solution in the presence of hydroxypropylated ...

Intravital Microscopy Reveals Endothelial Transcytosis Contributing to Significant Tumor Accumulation of Albumin Nanoparticles

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2023
The principle of enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has been used to design anti-cancer nanomedicines over decades. However, it is being challenged due to the poor clinical outcome of nanoparticles and controversial physiological foundation.

Smart Polymer Surfaces

open access: yesMacromolecules, 2003
A methodology is demonstrated for creating responsive polymer surfaces that can alter their wetting characteristics when exposed to a humid environment. For this, we take advantage of the surface partitioning of block copolymers at the polymer/air interface and utilize a hydrophilic group at the end of the surface-active block.

Evaluation of the morphology of metal particles in intrinsic conductive polymer dispersions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
For the production of smart textiles the resistivity of prints and coatings with intrinsic conductive polymers is often too high and the performance properties not sufficient.

Bioengineered Textiles and Nonwovens – the convergence of bio-miniaturisation and electroactive conductive polymers for assistive healthcare, portable power and design-led wearable technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Today, there is an opportunity to bring together creative design activities to exploit the responsive and adaptive ‘smart’ materials that are a result of rapid development in electro, photo active polymers or OFEDs (organic thin film electronic devices),
