Molecular glues, tiny molecules that connect one protein to another, are promising targets for pharmaceutical research. By ...

Biomea Fusion presented data on icovamenib, showing potential for beta-cell restoration and sustained glycemic improvements in diabetes treatment.

Icovamenib’s proposed mechanism of action in diabetes is to enable the proliferation, preservation, and reactivation of a patient’s own healthy, functional, insulin-producing beta cells.

Therapeutic effects were sustained off treatment, with persistent reduction in HbA1c and improvement in beta-cell function 3 months after last dose, suggesting disease-modifying potential of ...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents findings of a study on solid wastes conversion into fuels through pyrolysis of plastic materials, presenting an alternative renewable approach for waste management.

Gel polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries are typically prepared by swelling a preprepared cross-linked polymer network with a solution of lithium salt. This step of the electrolyte ...

MD simulations demonstrate that polymer-mediated changes in interfacial tension is the best mechanism to describe these experimental results. Together, our results bolster the force-from-lipids ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering have created an artificial polymer that self-organizes into a controllable helix, according to a study ...

This would create a circular polymer economy for plastics, reducing the need to make new plastics from petroleum, which generates greenhouse gases. Two years ago, Hartwig and his UC Berkeley team came ...

Isobutylene is used in the chemical industry to make polymers for products ranging from footballs to cosmetics and to make high-octane gasoline additives.

Plastic bottles and bags can be vaporised into chemical building blocks and turned into new plastics with all the properties of virgin material. There are hurdles still to overcome, but the new ...

Thus, both interfacial aging and depolymerization of polymers contribute to the slowdown of polymer chain dynamics and degradation of mechanical properties. This work provides an insight into the ...
