Glycans function as a Golgi export signal to promote the constitutive exocytic trafficking by Sun, Xiuping, Tie, Hieng Chiong, Chen, Bing, Lu, Lei

“…However, the role of glycans in membrane trafficking is still unclear. Here, we discovered that transmembrane secretory cargos, such as interleukin 2 receptor α subunit or Tac, transferrin receptor and cluster of differentiation 8a, unexpectedly displayed substantial Golgi localization when their O-glycosylation was compromised. …”

Neural combinatorial optimization: from routing to integer programming by Wu, Yaoxin

“…Although there is already abundant literature in such domain, some challenging aspects are still not tackled well. For example, the current deep models are generally still inferior to highly-specialized solvers in some specific COPs, and meanwhile it is still difficult for NCO methods to solve general COPs, especially the ones with uncertainty and multiple objectives. …”

Construction and utilisation of the adhesion test platform for the development of novel adaptive interfacial adhesives by Tan, Yee Yuan

“…Even though there are many breakthroughs and innovations in this field, many challenges such as requiring a releasable adhesion interface for 3D printing, possessing selective and controllable attachment and detachment for transfer printing, and having a strong, reversible, and fast adhesion response for soft robotics still exist. To overcome such challenges, new adhesive materials and novel adhesive designs are needed. …”

Surface composition dependent ligand effect in tuning the activity of nickel–copper bimetallic electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution in alkaline by Wei, Chao, Sun, Yuanmiao, Scherer, Günther G., Fisher, Adrian C., Sherburne, Matthew, Ager, Joel W., Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…Unfortunately, the principles that governs alkaline HER performance remain unclear and are still under debate. By studying the alkaline HER at a series of NiCu bimetallic surfaces, where the electronic structure is modulated by ligand effect, we demonstrate that alkaline HER activity can be correlated with either the calculated or the experimental-measured d band center (an indicator of hydrogen binding energy) via a volcano-type relationship. …”
