Artificial ion channels that enable high-efficiency ion transport have important implications in nanofluidics and biomedical applications such as drug delivery.Herein,we show a simulation-based chemical design of a bi...
The free-energy principle entails theBayesian brain hypothesis that can be implemented bymany schemes considered in this field.The combination of multimodal brain imaging and free-energy minimization has shown promise...

Threofuranosyl nucleic acid(TNA)is an analogue of DNA with a shift in the internucleotide linkages from the wild-type 5’-to-3’direction to 3’-to-2.’This alteration leads to higher chemical stability,less reactive ...
The zinc-containing enzyme HDAC-like amidohydrolase (FB188 HDAH), identified in the Bordetella alcaligenes bacteria, is similar to enzymes that participate in epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications. The X...

In this review, we give a retrospect of the recent progress in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics in small dynamical systems. For systems with only a few number of particles, fluctuations and nonl...
Aim: Both endothelin ETA receptor antagonists and angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonists lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. A dual AT1 and ETA receptor antagonist may be more efficacious antihypertensive dr...
