Replacement of MDA with more oxidatively stable diamines in PMR-polyimides [PDF]
Studies are performed to investigate the effect of substituting 4,4'-oxydianiline and 1,1-bis(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethane for the 4,4'-methylenedianiline in PMR polyimide matrix resin. Graphite fiber reinforced composites are fabricated

Late phase inhibition of murine cytomegalovirus replication by synergistic action of interferon-gamma and tumour necrosis factor [PDF]
We have shown previously that the antiviral function of CD4+ T lymphocytes against murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is associated with the release of interferon- (IFN-).

Repurposing screen identifies mebendazole as a clinical candidate to synergise with docetaxel for prostate cancer treatment [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Docetaxel chemotherapy in prostate cancer has a modest impact on survival. To date, efforts to develop combination therapies have not translated into new treatments. We sought to develop a novel therapeutic strategy to tackle chemoresistant

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These
