    Abstract Thermochromic materials have found widespread commercial use in packaging as temperature indicators. Often, these products utilize leuco dyes that are mixed into conventional polymeric resins to prepare coatings or films that exhibit temperature-dependent color change. Here, we consider a distinctive approach to thermochromism via the selective reflection of liquid crystalline elastomers that retain the helicoidal structure of the cholesteric phase (CLCEs). Upon heating, the order of the CLCEs reduces and approaches zero, resulting in a change in birefringence as well as material thickness, both of which manifest as changes in the selective reflection to heating. This examination systematically prepares CLCEs capable of reversible thermochromic response as a function of cross-link density and liquid crystalline composition. A particular focus of this examination is the preparation of CLCEs composed of chiral and achiral liquid crystalline monomers that reduce the strength of the mesogen-mesogen interaction and accordingly reduce the nematic-isotropic transition temperature. The low birefringence of some of the CLCE compositions facilitates thermochromic reflection tuning, followed by switching.

    Abstract The blue phases are observed in highly chiral liquid crystalline compositions that nascently organize into a three-dimensional, crystalline nanostructure. The periodicity of the unit cell lattice spacing is on the order of the wavelength of visible light and accordingly, the blue phases exhibit a selective reflection as a photonic crystal. Here, we detail the synthesis of liquid crystalline elastomers that retain blue phase I, blue phase II, and blue phase III. The mechanical properties and optical reconfiguration via deformation of retained blue phases are contrasted to the cholesteric phase in fully solid elastomers with glass transition temperatures below room temperature. Mechanical deformation and chemical swelling of the lightly crosslinked polymer networks induces lattice asymmetry in the blue phase evident in the tuning of the selective reflection. The lattice periodicity of the blue phase elastomer is minimally affected by temperature. The oblique lattice planes of the blue phase tilt and red-shift in response to mechanical deformation. The retention of the blue phases in fully solid, elastomeric films could enable functional implementations in photonics, sensing, and energy applications.

    Abstract Notch receptors control tissue morphogenic processes that involve coordinated changes in cell architecture and gene expression, but how a single receptor can produce these diverse biological outputs is unclear. Here we employ a 3D organotypic model of a ductal epithelium to reveal tissue morphogenic defects result from loss of Notch1, but not Notch1 transcriptional signaling. Instead, defects in duct morphogenesis are driven by dysregulated epithelial cell architecture and mitogenic signaling which result from loss of a transcription-independent Notch1 cortical signaling mechanism that ultimately functions to stabilize adherens junctions and cortical actin. We identify that Notch1 localization and cortical signaling are tied to apical-basal cell restructuring and discover a Notch1-FAM83H interaction underlies stabilization of adherens junctions and cortical actin. Together, these results offer new insights into Notch1 signaling and regulation, and advance a paradigm in which transcriptional and cell adhesive programs might be coordinated by a single receptor.

    Abstract Nocardia can cause systemic infections with varying manifestations. Resistance patterns vary by species. We describe N. otitidiscavarium infection with pulmonary and cutaneous manifestations in a man in the United States. He received multidrug treatment that included trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole but died. Our case highlights the need to treat with combination therapy until drug susceptibilities are known.
