Combined main-chain/side-chain ionic liquid crystalline polymer based on ‘jacketing’ effect: Design, synthesis, supra-molecular self-assembly and photophysical properties by L. Weng, H. L. Xie, C. G. Arges, J. Tang, G. Q. Zhong, H. L. Zhang, E. Q. Chen

“…Reasonably fabricating ordered structures of ionic polymers is very important for the development of novel functional materials. By combining the ions and liquid cry stalline polymer, we successfully designed and synthesized a series of novel combined main-chain/side-chain ionic liquid crystalline polymer (MCSC-ILCPs) containing imidazolium groups and different counter-anions, poly (2,5-bis{[6-(4-butoxy-4'-imidazolium biphenyl)hexyl]oxycarbonyl}styrene salts) poly(BImBHCS-X) with the following types of counter-anions (Br¯, BF4¯, PF6¯ and TFSI¯). …”

Research progress on macrophages in cardiovascular diseases by Minyan Zhu, Hongmei Zhou, Lei Zhou, Yaping Yang, Rong Chen

“…Conclusion In CVD, macrophages can differentiate into different phenotypes(M1, M2, M4, et al.) according to their microenvironment by their plasticity and heterogeneity, release different cytokines, are regulated by multiple signaling pathways(PI3K/Akt, TLR4, TGF-β/Smads, et al.), and play other functions in CVD. M1 initiates and maintains inflammation by secreting pro-inflammatory factors, and M2 participates in the regression of inflammation and tissue repair by secreting anti-inflammatory factors. …”
