The compositional dependence of thermal expansion behaviour in 19 different perovskite-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of composition [A(I)][M(II)(HCOO)3] (A = alkylammonium cation; M = octahedrally-coordinated divalent metal) is studied using variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction measurements. While all systems show essentially the same type of thermomechanical response-irrespective of their particular structural details-the magnitude of this response is shown to be a function of A(I) and M(II) cation radii, as well as the molecular anisotropy of A(I). Flexibility is maximised for large M(II) and small A(I), while the shape of A(I) has implications for the direction of framework hingeing.

Self-organization under out-of-equilibrium conditions is ubiquitous in natural systems for the generation of hierarchical solid-state patterns of complex structures with intricate properties. Efforts in applying this strategy to synthetic materials that mimic biological function have resulted in remarkable demonstrations of programmable self-healing and adaptive materials. However, the extension of these efforts to multifunctional stimuli-responsive solid-state materials across defined spatial distributions remains an unrealized technological opportunity.

The chemical flexibility of the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure offers a large potential for compositional engineering. Cation size and vacancy concentration are known to affect its structure, cation disorder, and functional properties. However, the compositional complexity also makes the TTB structure challenging to understand.

Background: Stress is a common modifiable risk factor for AD, which increases dementia risk 2-fold. During the stress response, the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is activated which stimulates the release of stress hormones called glucocorticoids into the blood stream. Studies on early-life stress have shown a glucocorticoid dependent vulnerability towards late-life inflammation.

Background: Murine studies have identified blood proteins that influence brain aging, but translating these findings to humans remains challenging. We used an innovative approach to investigate whether genetically predicted blood levels of proteins linked to brain aging in animal models are associated with cognitive performance in individuals at risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) [Figure 1].
Method: Through systematic review, we identified 13 circulating proteins with an aging/rejuvenating effect on the mouse brain.
