Abstract It is not well known that Japan fought as one of the Allied powers in the First World War, as Japan was a naval alliance partner of Britain from 1902. At the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, Japan attended it as the fifth largest great power in …

Abstract Wetlands are the world's largest reservoirs of carbonaceous organic matter. They help mitigate extreme climatic events (floods and droughts), purify water and preserve biodiversity. However, 85 % of wetlands were lost in three  hundred  years ; …

Abstract This talk will present recent advances in therapeutic and biosensing materials, with a focus on translational pipelines for clinical application. We have developed scalable fabrication methods to create complex 3D architectures and …

Abstract Our lab has pursued development of methods to allow selective incorporation of diverse functionality into synthetic polypeptide materials. Specifically, we have developed synthetic methods that allow a robust variety of modifications to …

Abstract Amyloid fibrils interact with metal ions via metal-ligand supramolecular interactions whose energy is of the order of tens to hundreds of KBT. The occurrence of the 20 essential amino acids in food-based amyloid fibrils derived from inexpensive …

Abstract Polypeptides play a crucial role in areas like nanomedicine, where their biological function is governed by intricate structural features. Studying structure-activity relationships is essential to optimize polypeptide-conjugate designs, as minor …

Sam Stupp Samuel Stupp is Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. He also directs Northwestern's Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine. Stupp's …

Abstract Self-assembling polymer-based nanosystems, particularly polymer micelle-type drug delivery systems (PM-DDS), have emerged as powerful platforms for the smart delivery of therapeutic agents. Constructed through the spontaneous organization of …

Abstract Even if new molecules are discovered to treat severe diseases, the clinical efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutics is hampered by drug resistance and non-specific biodistribution. Advanced nanodevices may overcome some of these limitations. …

Abstract Surface-initiated polymerization is a unique way to produce thin, functional polymer films. As polymer chains are grown from surfaces that are modified with initiators or chain transfer agents to mediate chain growth, this process ensures a …

With the active participation of Alma Mater Abstract Climate change is turning our societies upside down, giving rise to new forms of commitment, unprecedented questions about our collective responsibilities, and sometimes long-discussed technological …

This symposium explores an essential dialogue between two major traditions of contemporary political thought : socialism and liberal egalitarianism. Both aim to reduce inequalities and promote social justice, but differ on the means and principles that …
