Augmenting research consent: should large language models (LLMs) be used for informed consent to clinical research? by Allen, J, Schaefer, O, Porsdamm Mann, S, Earp, B, Wilkinson, D

“…Given the complex nature of consent in clinical research, which involves both written documentation (in the form of participant information sheets and informed consent forms) and in-person conversations with a researcher, the use of LLMs raises significant concerns about the adequacy of existing regulatory frameworks. …”

How J-chain ensures the assembly of immunoglobulin IgM pentamers by Giannone, Chiara, Mess, Xenia, He, Ruiming, Chelazzi, Maria R., Mayer, Annika, Bakunts, Anush, Nguyen, Tuan, Bushman, Yevheniia, Orsi, Andrea, Gansen, Benedikt, Degano, Massimo, Buchner, Johannes, Sitia, Roberto

“…The J-chain interacts with the hydrophobic β-sheets selectively exposed by nascent pentamers. Completion of an amyloid-like core triggers JC folding and drives disulfide rearrangements that covalently stabilize JC-containing pentamers. …”

Molecular-level methylcellulose/mxene hybrids with greatly enhanced electrochemical actuation by Chen, Shaohua, Ciou, Jing-Hao, Yu, Fei, Chen, Jian, Lv, Jian, Lee, Pooi See

“…Based on direct strain measurements, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the actuation enhancement can be ascribed to the enlarged layer distance allowing more water and ions to be intercalated/de-intercalated and MC-induced sliding of MXene sheets. The assembled soft actuator has a high Young's modulus of 1.93 GPa and can be operated in air, generating a peak-to-peak strain difference up to 0.541% under a triangular wave voltage of ±1 V and a blocking force of 4.7 times its own weight.…”
