Adverse Childhood Experiences and Forensic Typologies: Getting Specific about Trauma among Institutionalized Youth

Description: Article on Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Utilizing data from 3382 institutionalized delinquents in Texas, logistic regression models indicated multiple associations between ACEs and forensic typologies in both adjusted and unadjusted models, with sexual abuse and physical abuse emerging as the most consistent and robust predictors. Supplemental sensitivity models confirmed the associations between sexual abuse and physical abuse among youth who fit multiple forensic typologies. Models f… more

Theranostic Small-Molecule Prodrug Conjugates for Targeted Delivery and Controlled Release of Toll-like Receptor 7 Agonists

Description: This article presents a novel class of chemically identical theranostic small-molecule prodrug conjugates (T-SMPDCs), [¹⁸/¹⁹F]F-TZ(PSMA)-LEGU-TLR7, for PSMA-targeted delivery and controlled release of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonists to elicit de novo immune response for cancer immunotherapy. The proof-of-concept biological evaluation presented demonstrates the potential of T-SMPDCs for cancer immunomodulatory therapies.

Effect of Polymer Removal on the Morphology and Phase of the Nanoparticles in All-Inorganic Heterostructures Synthesized via Two-Step Polymer Infiltration

Description: This article uses iron oxide/alumina heterostructures formed by two-step infiltration of polystyrene-block-polyvinyl pyridine block copolymer with iron and aluminum precursors from the solution and vapor-phases, respectively, to show that the phase and morphology of iron oxide nanoparticles dramatically depend on the approach used to remove the polymer. The article extends the boundaries of structure manipulations in multicomponent heterostructures synthesized using polymer infiltration synthes… more
