Article Synopsis
- Researchers explore collective behavior in systems chemistry using polymersome stomatocytes loaded with urease, demonstrating basic stigmergy-based communication.
- These stomatocytes can produce, receive, and respond to signals by clustering due to pH-sensitive interactions between specific chemical groups on their surfaces.
- The clustering behavior occurs at a pH of 6.3 to 7.3 and displays oscillations: as pH rises from urease activity, the clusters disassemble, but can reform once conditions stabilize, highlighting potential for cooperative tasks among active colloids.
Background: Work functioning impairment is a key diagnostic and prognostic criterion in patients with psychiatric disorders and work inclusion is a major goal of their therapeutic pathway. Since 2009, the Regional Innovative Program (PIR) TR106, promoted by ASST Fatebenefratelli-Sacco of Milan in collaboration with other Departments of Mental Health and Addictions (DSMDs) in the town of Milan (Italy), has been developing the employment inclusion of psychiatric patients.
Aims: The objective of this study is to evaluate its outcomes over 8 years of observation.
Background: BRAF+MEK inhibitors extend life expectancy of patients with BRAF mutant advanced melanoma. Acquired resistance limits duration of benefit, but preclinical and case studies suggest intermittent dosing could overcome this limitation. INTERIM was a phase 2 trial evaluating an intermittent dosing regimen.

In this regard, great efforts have been dedicated toward controlling MNM motion (e.g.

Dynamic covalent bonds have the potential to not only increase the sustainability of 3D-printed objects, but also serve as reactive sites for postprinting derivatization. In this study, we use boronate esters as a key building block for the development of catalyst-free, 3D-printing resins with the ability to undergo room-temperature exchange at the cross-linking sites.
