TL;DR: The continuous generation of monolithic polymeric parts up to tens of centimeters in size with feature resolution below 100 micrometers is demonstrated and critical control parameters are delineated and shown that complex solid parts can be drawn out of the resin at rates of hundreds of millimeters per hour.

TL;DR: It is shown that simple adsorption of brush-like macromolecules with long side chains on a substrate can induce not only conformational deformations, but also spontaneous rupture of covalent bonds in themacromolecular backbone.

TL;DR: A series of three-arm star densely grafted molecular brushes with poly(n-butyl acrylate) side chains were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The authors engineered domains into three different classes of proteins involved in cell signaling and found that switching the proteins between active and inactive states could control the shape and movement of living cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ discrete molecular dynamics simulations with an all-atom force field to fold fast-folding proteins and demonstrate that DMD can be used to observe equilibrium folding of villin headpiece and WW domain, and sample near-native states in ab initio folding of proteins of ∼100 residues.
