Lactation benefits women’s metabolic health by improving pancreatic β cell mass and function through serotonin production in cells.
Creation of tubular structures through the self-assembly macrocyclic molecules has gained great attention in chemical, biochemical, and material sciences. Through a designed introduction two octaethylene oxide diacetylene moieties, we prepared macrocycle MCDA–BisOEG, which is water-soluble photopolymerizable displays lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. The hydrodynamic diameter measured by dynamic light scattering method, was ca. 6.5 nm at 25 °C increased sharply to 2 μm...
Creation of hollow, one-dimensional nanomaterials has gained great recent attention in the chemical and material sciences. In a study aimed at discovering new functional materials this type, we observed that an amphiphilic diacetylene (DA) derivative, containing azobenzene moiety oligo-ethylene group, self-assembles to form nanotubes undergoes photopolymerization hollow polydiacetylene (PDA) with uniform wall thickness diameter. The azobenzene-PDA are photoresponsive on-and-off...
