Negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) materials—which shrink along one axis when compressed
along an orthogonal one—are currently composed of reentrant cells with dimensions greater …

Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are enzymes that trigger the catalytic inactivation of
ribosomes and other substrates. They are present in a large number of plants and have been …

Genetic engineering techniques were used to design and biosynthesise an extracellular
matrix (ECM) analogue. This was designed with a well-defined molecular architecture …

A laboratory batch study has been performed to study the effect of various physic-chemical
factors such as initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, and amount of adsorbent, contact …

Since the large-scale method for the preparation of the fullerenes became available in 1990,
1 2its rich redox chemistry has been explored by many. 2-7 Of particular interest has been …

Reversible one-electron oxidations and reductions have been observed by Osteryoung square
wave voltammetry (OSWV) for the three higher fullerenes C76, C78, and C84 in 1, 1, 2, 2-…

The use of recombinant elastin-like materials, or elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), in drug-delivery
applications is reviewed in this work. Although ELRs were initially used in similar …

Cancer has reached pandemic dimensions in the whole world. Although current medicine
offers multiple treatment options against cancer, novel therapeutic strategies are needed due …

The pH-responsive elastin-like polymers, [(PGVGV) 2 −(PGEGV)−(PGVGV) 2 ] n with n = 5, 9,
15, 30, 45, were obtained using genetic engineering and microbial protein expression. …

Small (100−600 μm in width) hexagonal polymeric plates with faces patterned into hydrophobic
and hydrophilic regions, and interacting through lateral capillary forces, were allowed to …
