By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In ...

For the first time, they achieved asymmetric (chiral) living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with a chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvents.

"These findings illuminate a critical mechanism that connects local synaptic activity to the broader gene expression changes necessary for learning and memory," said Mark Dell'Acqua, professor of ...

The international team describes their results and the underlying molecular mechanism in Cell Metabolism. Ergothioneine is a natural compound found in certain fungi such as oyster or shiitake ...

Defense mechanisms are rooted in Freud’s theory of personality.According to his model, the mind has three dueling forces: the id (unconscious and primitive urges for food, comfort, and sex), the ...

Despite its frequent use, the specific mechanisms governing the adsorption, diffusion, and polymerization of borazine on metal surfaces remain unclear. This study seeks to fill that gap by ...

With this in mind, it is also intuitive that in order to increase the chances of achieving translational success at the clinical level, it is preferable that any new neuroprotective drug should have a ...
