Inhibition of human Monoacylglycerol Lipase (hMGL) offers a novel approach for treating neurological diseases. The design of inhibitors, targeting active-inactive conformational transitions of the enzyme, can be aided by understanding the interplay between
Fractography is a powerful but underutilized tool for the analysis of fractured glasses and ceramics, for fractures in the laboratory and for component failures in service. Fractography can identify the cause of failure and can even provide quantitative
A considerable amount of rapid-paced research is underway to combat the SARS-CoV-2 11 pandemic. In this work, we assess the 3D structure of the 5' untranslated region of its RNA, in the 12 hopes that stable secondary structures can be targeted, interrupted
A measurand is defined as the quantity that one intends to measure. As tissue engineering research translates into medical products, companies must prepare regulatory filings that contain many different types of measurement data that are collected about

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in the preparation of calibration solutions for a candidate reference measurement procedure for human serum albumin (HSA) in human urine. This candidate reference measurement procedure is
The CELL-FREE Workshop sought to identify and prioritize actionable steps towards more reproducible and comparable cell-free systems for practical applications in bioengineering and biomanufacturing.
We present a generic fabrication scheme to produce polymer microparticles with engineerable, complex shapes. The polymer particles are made from a polyethylene-glycol based hydrogel using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based molding technique. A simple
