For many biological molecules, force is an important functional and structural parameter.
With the rapidly growing knowledge about the relation between structure, function, and force, …

Recent progress in atomic force microscopy (AFM) technology has allowed the measurement
of inter‐ and intramolecular forces at the level of individual molecules. The mechanical …

During the last half century, identification of an ideal (predominantly entropic) protein
elastomer was generally thought to require that the ideal protein elastomer be a random chain …

… Each [Ca=+] m spike was sufficient to cause a maximal transient activation of the CSMDHs
and [Ca=*], n oscillations at frequencies above 0.5 per minute caused a sustained activation …

Light-powered molecular machines are conjectured to be essential constituents of future
nanoscale devices. As a model for such systems, we have synthesized a polymer of bistable …

Purpose : Transurethral resection of the prostate has for decades been the standard surgical
therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, the …

Background Giant cell arteritis is an immune-mediated disease of medium and large-sized
arteries that affects mostly people older than 50 years of age. Treatment with glucocorticoids …

Colloidal perovskite nanoplatelets are a promising class of semiconductor nanomaterialsexhibiting
bright luminescence, tunable and spectrally narrow absorption and emission …

Background and Purpose— Both the administration of growth factors and physical therapy
such as forced arm use (FAU) are promising approaches to enhance recovery after stroke. …

Fungal infection represents up to 50 % of yield losses, making it necessary to apply effective
and cost efficient fungicide treatments, whose efficacy depends on infestation type, situation …
