We have discovered a novel protein immobilization method, i.e., a "Three-Dimensional Nanostructured Protein Hydrogel" (3-D NPH), which is composed of protein-reactive polymer hybrid nanoparticles to detect protein-protein interactions. The 3-D NPH can be easily prepared by spotting a protein/reactive polymer mixture on a substrate. The resulting 3-D NPH is characterized by large amounts of immobilized proteins and a novel porous structure.The 3-D NPH technology was applied to immobilize streptavidin (SA) onto Au-coated surface for surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). By using 3-D NPH method, it was possible to improve the sensitivity of protein-protein interactions drastically comparing to the conventional protein immobilization method.

A boost from the branches: Incorporation of the dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]phosphole system as a core in oligo(phenylenevinylene) dendrimers (an example is shown here) provides materials that exhibit energy-transfer features relaying incoming photons from the dendrons towards the core, which in turn shows enhanced emission intensity. The optical properties and self-assembly features of the dendrimers can be impacted by the terminal groups (-H, -CF(3), or -NPh(2)) employed.To establish this system as a fluorescent core in pi-conjugated dendrimers, a series of oligo(phenylenevinylene) (OPV)-extended dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]phospholes has been prepared by means of a Wittig-Horner protocol with a dithienophosphole dialdehyde and appropriately functionalized phosphonates.

The first cyclodiphosph(III)azane complexes of the rare-earth elements have been synthesized. Reactions of the lithium salt cis-[(tBuNP)(2)(tBuN)(2){Li(thf)}(2)] with anhydrous yttrium trichloride or the heavier lanthanide trichlorides resulted in the corresponding cyclodiphosph(III)azane complexes [Li(thf)(4)][{(tBuNP)(2)(tBuN)(2)}LnCl(2)] (Ln=Y (1 a), Ho (1 b), Er (1 c)). The single-crystal X-ray structures showed that compounds 1 a-c consisted of ion pairs composed of a [Li(thf)(4)](+) cation and a C(2v) symmetric [{(tBuNP)(2)(tBuN)(2)}LnCl(2)](-) anion.

This study investigates the mechanics of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) growth using a computational approach. We created a generic 3-D brain mesh of a healthy human brain and modelled the brain parenchyma as single phase and biphasic continuum. In our model, hyperelastic constitutive law and finite deformation theory described deformations within the brain parenchyma.
