The rational design of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with both high crystallinity and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is of crucial importance for achieving high-efficiency and low-energy-loss organic solar cells (OSCs). However, increasing the crystallinity of an NFA tends to decrease its PLQY, which results in a high non-radiative energy loss in OSCs. Here we demonstrate that the crystallinity and PLQY of NFAs can be fine-tuned by asymmetrically adapting the branching position of alkyl chains on the thiophene unit of the L8-BO acceptor.

It is desirable but remains challenging to develop high drug load amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) without compromising their quality attributes and bio-performance. In this work, we investigated the impacts of formulation variables, such as drug loading (DL) and polymer type, on dissolution behavior, diffusive flux, and in vitro drug absorption of ASDs of a high T compound, GDC-6893. ASDs with two polymers (HPMCAS and PVPVA) and various DLs (20 - 80%) were produced by spray drying and their drug-polymer miscibility was evaluated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR).

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism is associated with different pathologies such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of apoE and isoform-specific structural differences are prerequisites for the rational design of small molecule structure modulators that correct the detrimental effects of pathological isoforms. In this study, cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) targeting Asp, Glu and Lys residues was used to explore the intramolecular interactions in the E2, E3 and E4 isoforms of apoE.

The severe impact of COVID-19 on global health and economies highlights the critical need for innovative treatments. Recently, lapatinib, a drug initially used for breast cancer, has been identified as a potential inhibitor of the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2, meriting further investigation. Utilizing rational design strategies and guided by MD simulations, we developed novel aminoquinazoline analogs based on fragmented lapatinib's structure.

Tissue engineering (TE) involves repairing, replacing, regeneration, or improving the function of tissues and organs by combining cells, growth factors and scaffold materials. Among these, scaffold materials play a crucial role. Silk fibroin (SF), a natural biopolymer, has been widely used in the TE field due to its good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties attributed to its chemical composition and structure.
