Adhesion Characteristics of an Asphalt Binder-Aggregate Interface Based on Molecular Dynamics.

To investigate the adhesion properties of asphalt binder-aggregate interfaces, contact angle tests were performed on base, aged, and SBS# asphalt with limestone and basalt aggregates. A molecular dynamics simulation model was established to analyze interfacial adhesion characteristics. The results indicate good consistency between the experimental and molecular dynamics simulation findings.

A bibliometric analysis of hydrogel research in various fields: the trends and evolution of hydrogel application.

Hydrogel, a polymer material with a three-dimensional structure, has considerably expanded in research across multiple fields lately. However, the lack of a comprehensive review integrating the research status of hydrogel across diverse fields has hindered the development of hydrogel. This bibliometric analysis reviewed the hydrogel-related research over the past decades, emphasizing the evolution, status, and future directions within a multitude of fields, such as materials science, chemistry, polymer science, engineering, physics, biochemistry molecular biology, pharmacology pharmacy, cell biology, biotechnology applied microbiology, etc.

Role of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family in female genital neoplasms.

The tripartite motif proteins (TRIMs) family represents a class of highly conservative proteins which play a large regulatory role in molecular processes. Recently, increasing evidence has demonstrated a role of TRIMs in female genital neoplasms. Our review thereby aimed to provide an overview of the biological involvement of TRIMs in female genital neoplasms, to provide a better understanding of its role in the development and progression of such diseases, and emphasize its potential as targeted cancer therapy.
