Innovative Takumi-shaped DNA hydrogels exhibit prolonged retention and drug release, showcasing their potential as biocompatible delivery systems in medicine.

Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

Of particular importance, Neandertal DNA also seems to influence the structure and function of the cerebellum. Although most neuroscientists have tended to think of this brain region as ...

Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA, and president and co-founder of DNA Bridge, Durham, North Carolina, USA. Conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Syria and elsewhere have ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

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 ...

"genetic scissors" for editing DNA strands, biopolymers made of nucleotide subunits that carry the code of life. The ORNL researchers precisely edited commodity polymers that significantly ...
