Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease without effective treatment. As key component of the innate immune system, NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, NLRP3 (pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome, when activated after ICH, promotes neuroinflammation and brain edema. MCC950 potent, selective, small-molecule inhibitor that blocks activation at nanomolar concentrations. Here, we examined effect on injury inflammation in 2 models ICH mice.In mice with induced by injection...

The combination of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and the arm-first strategy is a widely employed "one-pot two-batch" approach for synthesizing star polymers. However, intramolecular cross-linking during core formation in homogeneous system significantly restricts production high-molar-mass polymers with complete conversion arms. In this study, we present successful synthesis diverse chemical compositions high molar mass using monomer emulsified ROMP (ME-ROMP) based on...
