Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) wherein Y, n, R1, R2 and R3 have the meanings indicated herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate or salt thereof, are disclosed. The compounds are useful as inhibitors of protein or lipid kinases (in particular as inhibitors of a member of the PIM family of kinases, e.g. PIM-1, PIM-2 or PIM-3) and can be used in the treatment of a number of conditions, in particular cancers.

Abstract: The disclosure deals with a system and method for the design of acoustic metamaterials based on liquid crystal skyrmions. Noise attenuation, sound focusing, and harvesting acoustic wave energy are challenging issues that the technological community currently faces. The disclosed thermodynamically driven metamaterial facilitates the design of unique architectures with several acoustic applications, including sound attenuation and acoustic energy harvesting. This disclosed structure includes spherical shells in a hexagonal arrangement (or cubic), which can be designed in any size and additively manufactured for end use applications.

Abstract: Stable, macroscopic single-crystal chiral liquid crystal compositions are described. The compositions include a single-crystal chiral liquid crystal material on a patterned surface. The patterned surface seeds a particular crystallographic orientation at the substrate-liquid crystal interface. Also described are methods of forming the single-crystal chiral liquid crystal compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to SS-31 or composition comprising SS-31 for use in the treatment and/or prevention of aneurysm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a compound that can inhibit tyrosine hydroxylase, such as alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (AMPT), for the prevention or treatment of aortic aneurysm, preferably of the abdominal aortic.
