Accelerated stability studies are a common approach for predicting the long-term stability of pharmaceutical formulations. However, in this study, a slowing of dissolution was observed for a formulation following storage at elevated temperature and humidity. The moisture sorption isotherm for the binder, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), shows absorption of a significant quantity of water on exposure to elevated humidity. Modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry (mDSC) has been used to demonstrate that moisture uptake will depress the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVP to the conditions used in accelerated stability studies. Exposure to elevated temperature and humidity resulted in a change in the PVP from the glassy to the rubbery state. This conversion produces a change in the dissolution profile. Long-term stability studies conducted at temperatures and humidities below the Tg, would not have induced this change.

Fluid shear stress (FSS) from blood flow sensed by vascular endothelial cells (ECs) determines vessel behavior, but regulatory mechanisms are only partially understood. We used cell state transition assessment and regulation (cSTAR), a powerful computational method, to elucidate EC transcriptomic states under low shear stress (LSS), physiological shear stress (PSS), high shear stress (HSS), and oscillatory shear stress (OSS) that induce vessel inward remodeling, stabilization, outward remodeling, or disease susceptibility, respectively. Combined with a publicly available database on EC transcriptomic responses to drug treatments, this approach inferred a regulatory network controlling EC states and made several notable predictions.

Emerging photovoltaics for outer space applications are one of the many examples where radiation hard molecular semiconductors are essential. However, due to a lack of general design principles, their resilience against extra-terrestrial high-energy radiation can currently not be predicted. In this work, the discovery of radiation hard materials is accelerated by combining the strengths of high-throughput, lab automation and machine learning.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) is a commonly reported neurotoxic side effect of chemotherapy, occurring in up to 75% cancer patients. Connections between chemo-treatment and increased risk of dementia have been reported. Mechanistically, chemotherapy treatment contributes to an accelerated aging phenotype in the brain through induction of pathogenic tau, disruption of neuronal integrity, reactive gliosis and neuroinflammation.

Introduction: Vaccine platforms such as viral vectors and mRNA can accelerate vaccine development in response to newly emerging pathogens, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the differential effects of platform and antigen insert on vaccine immunogenicity remain incompletely understood. Innate immune responses induced by viral vector vaccines are suggested to have an adjuvant effect for subsequent adaptive immunity.

The field of perovskite optoelectronics and electronics has rapidly advanced, driven by excellent material properties and a diverse range of fabrication methods available. Among them, triple-cation perovskites such as CsFAMAPbI offer enhanced stability and superior performance, making them ideal candidates for advanced applications. However, the multicomponent nature of these perovskites introduces complexity, particularly in how their structural, optical, and electrical properties are influenced by thermal annealing─a critical step for achieving high-quality thin films.
