Shape memory polymers : the wave of the future or a passing fad? [PDF]
, 2013 textNew materials always have the possibility of revolutionizing manufacturing processes and the way we live. Bronze, steel alloys, vulcanized rubber, ceramics, and fiber optic cables are just of few of the materials man has discovered which improved ...

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Laser deposition of titanium layer to enhance two-way shape memory behavior of Nitinol sheet
Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyOne of the long-standing mechanical challenges associated with shape memory alloys (SMAs) is achieving and stabilizing an evolving two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) through thermomechanical training/cycling.

Energy-Minimizing Microstructures in Multiphase Elastic Solids [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis concerns problems of microstructure and its macroscopic consequences in multiphase elastic solids, both single crystals and polycrystals. The elastic energy of a two-phase solid is a function of its microstructure.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Functional fatigue in NiTi shape memory alloy wires - A comparative study [PDF]
, 2012 The functional fatigue behaviour of two near equi-atomic NiTi shape memory alloy wires obtained from different sources were evaluated. Results showed that though the wires had similar transformation temperatures and mechanical properties, their ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
