Predicting target-ligand interactions with graph convolutional networks for interpretable pharmaceutical discovery.

Scientific reports
Drug Discovery is an active research area that demands great investments and generates low returns due to its inherent complexity and great costs. To identify potential therapeutic candidates more effectively, we propose protein-ligand with adversari...

Screening of critical variables in fabricating polycaprolactone nanoparticles using Neuro Fuzzy Logic.

International journal of pharmaceutics
In this work, we used the artificial intelligence tool known as neurofuzzy logic (NFL) for fabricating uniform nanoparticles of polycaprolactone by the nanoprecipitation method with a focus on stabilizer selection. The adaptability of NFL assisted th...

Actuating Shape Memory Polymer for Thermoresponsive Soft Robotic Gripper and Programmable Materials.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
For soft robotics and programmable metamaterials, novel approaches are required enabling the design of highly integrated thermoresponsive actuating systems. In the concept presented here, the necessary functional component was obtained by polymer syn...

Degradation of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) by Stenotrophomonas sp. YCJ1 isolated from farmland soil.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
In recent years, poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) has been widely used. However, PBAT-degrading bacteria have rarely been reported. PBAT-degrading bacteria were isolated from farmland soil and identified. The effects of growth factors ...

A Coupled FEM-SPH Modeling Technique to Investigate the Contractility of Biohybrid Thin Films.

Advanced biosystems
Biohybrid actuators have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional actuators employed in robotics, thanks to the unique features of living contractile muscle cells, which can be used to power artificial elements. This paper describes a...

Optimization and modelling of enzymatic polymerization of ε-caprolactone to polycaprolactone using Candida Antartica Lipase B with response surface methodology and artificial neural network.

Enzyme and microbial technology
Recently enzymatic catalysts have replaced organic and organometallic catalysts in the synthesis of bio-resorbable polymers. Enzymatic polymerization is considered as an alternative to conventional polymerization as they are less toxic, environmental...

Magnetically Coated Bioabsorbable Stents for Renormalization of Arterial Vessel Walls after Stent Implantation.

Nano letters
The insertion of a stent in diseased arteries is a common endovascular procedure that can be compromised by the development of short- and long-term inflammatory responses leading to restenosis and thrombosis, respectively. While treatment with drugs,...

Bioinspired Robotic Fingers Based on Pneumatic Actuator and 3D Printing of Smart Material.

Soft robotics
In this article, we have proposed a novel robotic finger design principle aimed to address two challenges in soft pneumatic grippers-the controllability of the stiffness and the controllability of the bending position. The proposed finger design is c...

Synthesis of Water-Soluble Imidazolium Polyesters as Potential Nonviral Gene Delivery Vehicles.

Biomacromolecules
The inherent hydrolytic reactivity of polyesters renders them excellent candidates for a variety of biomedical applications. Incorporating ionic groups further expands their potential impact, encompassing charge-dependent function such as deoxyribonu...
