Switchable peptide controls foam stability

Stability of minoxidil in Espumil foam base.

Minoxidil is a drug used to stimulate hair growth and to slow balding. It is marketed under a number of trade names, including Rogaine, and is available in varying strength dose forms from a number of generic manufacturers. Minoxidil is available in oral and topical forms. In topical form, it can be applied by a metered-spray or rub-on applicator. A hydroalcoholic compounding vehicle can minimi...

A switchable peptide sensor for real-time lysosomal tracking.

A bis-spiropyran functionalized peptide 1, which exhibits good cell-permeability, excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, has been developed for reversible and real-time lysosomal tracking.

Electricity-induced switchable wettability and controllable water permeation based on 3D copper foam.

A novel and simple method to realize the switch between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity on a (N-dodecyltrimethoxysilane)-modified 3D copper foam by electrode processes is reported. Such electricity-induced switchable wettability with rapid responsiveness and wide-range variation can be applicable in controllable water permeation and other relevant areas.

Capital Controls: Growth versus Stability∗

This paper provides a unified theoretical framework to analyze the macroeconomic consequences of capital account liberalizations and capital controls, like capital inflow taxes. It identifies two pecuniary externalities that lead to inefficient outcomes in terms of welfare and to financial instability. The first externality undermines the “terms of trade hedge” while the second leads to excessi...
