Phosphorescent extensophores expose elastic nonuniformity in polymer networks
Nature Communications, 2023 The macroscopic mechanical response in cross-linked polymer networks has been well investigated but an understanding of pre-failure local mechanical responses at the level of individual crosslinks is still lacking.

Dynamic interplay between target search and recognition for a Type I CRISPR-Cas system
Nature Communications, 2023 CRISPR-Cas effector complexes enable the defense against foreign nucleic acids and have recently been exploited as molecular tools for precise genome editing at a target locus. To bind and cleave their target, the CRISPR-Cas effectors have to interrogate

Optical supercavitation in soft-matter [PDF]
2011 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe and 12th European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO EUROPE/EQEC), 2010 We investigate theoretically, numerically and experimentally nonlinear optical waves in an absorbing out-of-equilibrium colloidal material at the gelification transition. At sufficiently high optical intensity, absorption is frustrated and light propagates into the medium. The process is mediated by the formation of a matter-shock wave due to optically

PolyoxometalatesObesity-induced insulin resistance and chronic inflammation pose considerable therapeutic challenges, requiring innovative approaches to address the underlying metabolic dysregulation. We have developed stearic acid-modified hexavanadate (SA-V6) vesicles,

Social distancing and epidemic resurgence in agent-based susceptible-infectious-recovered models
Scientific Reports, 2021 Once an epidemic outbreak has been effectively contained through non-pharmaceutical interventions, a safe protocol is required for the subsequent release of social distancing restrictions to prevent a disastrous resurgence of the infection.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Infants with cancer are rare and face unique challenges. Our study aims to describe the incidence of infantile cancers in Canada and to compare treatment‐related mortality (TRM) and their outcomes with those of older children. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Cancer in Young People in Canada database ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

Soft Matter Lubrication: Does Solid Viscoelasticity Matter? [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2017 Classical lubrication theory is unable to explain a variety of phenomena and experimental observations involving soft viscoelastic materials, which are ubiquitous and increasingly used in e.g. engineering and biomedical applications. These include unexpected ruptures of the lubricating film and a friction-speed dependence, which cannot be elucidated by

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...
