Every time a shuttle docks with the International Space Station (ISS), a delicate dance unfolds between the shuttle's docking ...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body that provides structural support to connective tissues, including tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, skin, and bones. Due to its rigidity ...

To better understand how polymers affect the mechanical properties of our membranes, we simulated the effect of mechanical tension on P124-containing lipid membranes (Figure 4J, 4K). U2OS cells were ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have synthesized and tested protein-polymer microbubbles for use in medical ultrasound imaging of internal organs. Administered intravenously, the ...

Protein-polymer microbubbles have been developed as a new contrast agent for ultrasound imaging, enhancing image quality and remaining in the bloodstream longer than current options.

A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

"We made a completely new polymer structure," said Northwestern's William Dichtel, the study's corresponding author. "It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip because each of the ...
