TL;DR: A combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and break junction method to detect and characterize molecules between two microfabricated electrodes separated with a gap that can be continuously adjusted from a few angstroms to nanometers is developed.
Abstract: We have developed a combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and break junction method to detect and characterize molecules between two microfabricated electrodes separated with a gap that can be continuously adjusted from a few angstroms to nanometers. It allows us to obtain a vibrational fingerprint of the adjustable molecular junction while performing electron transport measurements on the molecule simultaneously. This new approach will provide not only new insights into electron transport properties of molecule junctions on a chip but also the mechanism of single-molecule-SERS.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that modulating lncRNA expression is an important mechanism for risk-associated SNPs in promoting prostate transformation.
Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent an attractive class of candidates to mediate cancer risk. Through integrative analysis of the lncRNA transcriptome with genomic data and SNP data from prostate cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we identified 45 candidate lncRNAs associated with risk to prostate cancer. We further evaluated the mechanism underlying the top hit, PCAT1, and found that a risk-associated variant at rs7463708 increases binding of ONECUT2, a novel androgen receptor (AR)-interacting transcription factor, at a distal enhancer that loops to the PCAT1 promoter, resulting in upregulation of PCAT1 upon prolonged androgen treatment. In addition, PCAT1 interacts with AR and LSD1 and is required for their recruitment to the enhancers of GNMT and DHCR24, two androgen late-response genes implicated in prostate cancer development and progression. PCAT1 promotes prostate cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest that modulating lncRNA expression is an important mechanism for risk-associated SNPs in promoting prostate transformation.

TL;DR: It is reported that polymers incorporating spirothiopyran (STP) manifest both green mechanochromism and load-induced addition reactions in solution and solid.
Abstract: Incorporation of small reactive moieties, the reactivity of which depends on externally imposed load (so-called mechanophores) into polymer chains offers access to a broad range of stress-responsive materials. Here, we report that polymers incorporating spirothiopyran (STP) manifest both green mechanochromism and load-induced addition reactions in solution and solid. Stretching a macromolecule containing colorless STP converts it into green thiomerocyanine (TMC), the mechanically activated thiolate moiety of which undergoes rapid thiol-ene click reactions with certain reactive C=C bonds to form a graft or a cross-link. The unique dual mechanochemical response of STP makes it of potentially great utility both for the design of new stress-responsive materials and for fundamental studies in polymer physics, for example, the dynamics of physical and mechanochemical remodeling of loaded materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and inexpensive self-assembly method was proposed to construct inverse opals with different spectral positions of bistructural color refl ection (i.e., ultraviolet and visible peaks, ultraviolet and near infrared peaks, and visible and near-infrared peaks) by controlling their lattice constants.
Abstract: In the biological world, numerous creatures such as butterfl ies, insects, and birds have exploited photonic structures to produce bicolor refl ections with important biofunctions in addition to unique brilliant structural coloration. Although the mimicking of bistructural color refl ection is possible, the fabrication involves a process of combined layer deposition techniques, which is complicated and less fl exible. Here, a bistructural color mimicking, based on silk fi broin, is reported using a simple and inexpensive self-assembly method. Silk-fi broin inverse opals with different spectral positions of bistructural color refl ection (i.e., ultraviolet and visible peaks, ultraviolet and near infrared peaks, and visible and near infrared peaks) are obtained by simply controlling their lattice constants. Furthermore, the inline and continuous tuning of the peak positions of bistructural color refl ection can be achieved by the humidity-induced cyclic contraction of silk fi broin. The potential applications of silk-fi broin photonic structures in eco-dying and multifunctional silk fabrics are also demonstrated.
