Abstract:
Introduction The interaction between neutrophils and activated endothelium is essential for the development of multiple organ dysfunction in patients with hemorrhagic shock (HS). Mechanical ventilation frequently is used in patients with HS. The authors sought to investigate the consequences of mechanical ventilation of mice subjected to HS on microvascular endothelial activation in the lung and kidney. Methods Anesthetized wild type C57BL/6 male mice were subjected to controlled hemorrhage; subgroups of mice were mechanically ventilated during the HS insult. To study the effect of acute hypox

Abstract:
A T-shaped 2,4,7-substituted benzimidazolium “axle” with two ester functionalities and a 24-membered crown ether “wheel” with appendages containing terminal olefin groups were threaded — axle through wheel — to form a [2]pseudorotaxane. Grubbs’ ring-closing metathesis (RCM) was then used to form a third loop and create a bicyclic cage that fully encapsulates the axle and permanently interlocks the two molecular components creating a suit[1]ane. There are no bulky groups on the axle to prevent unthreading, but the axle is trapped due to the cage-like nature of the newly created polyether host.

Abstract:
Motile cells transduce environmental chemical signals into mechanical forces to achieve properly controlled migration. This signal–force transduction is thought to require regulated mechanical coupling between actin filaments (F-actins), which undergo retrograde flow at the cellular leading edge, and cell adhesions via linker “clutch” molecules. However, the molecular machinery mediating this regulatory coupling remains unclear. Here we show that the F-actin binding molecule cortactin directly interacts with a clutch molecule, shootin1, in axonal growth cones, thereby mediating the linkage bet

Abstract:
Multiple biological processes involve the stretching of nucleic acids (NAs). Stretching forces induce local changes in the molecule structure, inhibiting or promoting the binding of proteins, which ultimately affects their functionality. Understanding how a force induces changes in the structure of NAs at the atomic level is a challenge. Here, we use all-atom, microsecond-long molecular dynamics to simulate the structure of dsDNA and dsRNA subjected to stretching forces up to 20 pN. We determine all of the elastic constants of dsDNA and dsRNA and provide an explanation for three striking diffe

The long-term stability of condensation curing silicone elastomers can be affected by many factors such as curing environment, cross-linker type and concentration, and catalyst concentration.

Addition of molecular cross-links to polymers increases mechanical strength and improves corrosion resistance. However, it remains challenging to install cross-links in low-functionality macromolecules in a well-controlled manner. Typically, high-energy processes are required to generate highly reactive radicals in situ, allowing only limited control over the degree and type of cross-link. We rationally designed a bis-diazirine molecule whose decomposition into carbenes under mild and controllable conditions enables the cross-linking of essentially any organic polymer through double C–H activa

Abstract:
In this paper, a molecular dynamics simulation method was used to study the thermo-mechanical properties of cross-linked epoxy resins doped with nano silica particles that were grafted with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]-propyl-trimethoxysilane with different chain lengths. Firstly, a set of pure epoxy resin models, and four sets of SiO2/EP composite models were established. Then, a reasonable structure was obtained through a series of optimizations using molecular dynamics calculations. Next, the mechanical

Abstract:
A chromophore molecule-linked azo polymer as waveguide material (MCAP) of polymeric thermo-optic digital optical switch (DOS) was prepared with a chromophore molecule (ABFA), a polyether polyol and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). The chemical structures of ABFA monomer and azo polymer MCAP were characterized by FT-IR and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The thermal and mechanical properties of the MCAP film were investigated. The refractive index and transmission loss of MCAP film were measured at different temperatures and different laser wavelengths by an attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique

Abstract:
The proton transfer pathway for redox active tyrosine D (TyrD) in photosystem II is a hydrogen-bond network that involves D2-Arg180 and a series of water molecules. Using quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical calculations, the detailed properties of the energetics and structural geometries were investigated. The potential-energy profile of all hydrogen bonds along the proton transfer pathway indicates that the overall proton transfer from TyrD is energetically downhill. D2-Arg180 plays a key role in the proton transfer pathway, providing a driving force for proton transfer, maintaining the h

Abstract:
Gastric mucin plays an important role in the protection of the stomach wall from chemical, microbiological and mechanical damage. We have previously isolated human gastric mucus glycoproteins and raised a polyclonal antiserum against these macromolecules. This antiserum specifically reacted with gastric mucins in immunoblotting experiments and stained mucous granules at the apical side of gastric surface epithelial cells. A similar staining pattern was obtained after incubation with an antiserum against rat gastric mucin. Next we used the antiserum in pulse-chase experiments of human stomach t

Abstract:
A classic paradigm of soft and extensible polymer materials is the difficulty of combining reversible elasticity with high fracture toughness, in particular for moduli above 1 MPa. Our recent discovery of multiple network acrylic elastomers opened a pathway to obtain precisely such a combination. We show here that they can be seen as true molecular composites with a well–cross-linked network acting as a percolating filler embedded in an extensible matrix, so that the stress–strain curves of a family of molecular composite materials made with different volume fractions of the same cross-linked

Abstract:
At cell–substrate adhesion sites, the linkage between actin filaments and integrin is regulated by mechanical stiffness of the substrate. Of potential molecular regulators, the linker proteins talin and vinculin are of particular interest because mechanical extension of talin induces vinculin binding with talin, which reinforces the actin–integrin linkage. For understanding the molecular and biophysical mechanism of rigidity sensing at cell–substrate adhesion sites, we constructed a simple physical model to examine a role of talin extension in the stiffness-dependent regulation of actin–integr
