Article Abstract
Diblock copolymers based-on elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) have the potential to undergo specific phase transitions when thermally stimulated. This ability is especially suitable to form carriers, micellar structures for instance, for delivering active cargo molecules. Here, we report the design and study of an ELP diblock library based on ELP-[MV-]-[I-]. First, ELP-[MV-]-[I-] ( = , , ; = , ) that showed a similar self-assembly propensity (unimer-to-aggregate transition) as their related monoblocks ELP-[MV-] and ELP-[I-]. By selectively oxidizing methionines of ELP-[MV-] within the different diblocks structures, we have been able to access a thermal phase transition with three distinct regimes (unimers, micelles, aggregates) characteristic of well-defined ELP diblocks.

Background: Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized adults. Numerous prognostic models have been developed to identify those patients with elevated risk of HA-VTE. None, however, has met the necessary criteria to guide clinical decision-making.

This study explores the integration of traditional Chinese "Fu" culture into the moral education system for students with disabilities across K-12 and higher education through artificial intelligence. By leveraging soft computing to handle cultural ambiguities, it constructs an adaptive educational framework that aligns students' cognitive characteristics with curriculum demands, thereby enhancing their identification with Chinese culture. Guided by the theory of the "Second Combination," the research employs AI-powered soft computing to analyze the semantic and cognitive dimensions of "Fu" culture.

Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) remains unclear. We investigated 251 participants from Northern Italy: long-term polio survivors with PPS, long-term polio survivors with stable polio, family members of both groups, subjects with neurological disorders other than poliomyelitis, and healthy controls. This study investigated whether persistent viral activity or the existence of viral reservoirs contributes to causing PPS.

Nanomedicine has shown remarkable promise in advancing tumor imaging and therapy through its ability to achieve targeted delivery, precision imaging, and therapeutic efficacy. However, translating these preclinical successes into clinical practice remains fraught with challenges, including inconsistent tumor targeting, off-target organ accumulation, and a lack of comprehensive understanding of in vivo behavior of nanomedicines. In this perspective, the current state of nanomedicine research is critically analyzed, emphasizing the translational bottlenecks and offering a forward-looking view on potential solutions.
