Structurally, the signaling molecules used by plants and animals range in complexity from simple gases to proteins. Some of these molecules carry signals over long distances, whereas others act locally to convey information between neighboring cells. In addition, signaling molecules differ in their mode of action on their target cells. Some signaling molecules are able to cross the plasma membrane and bind to intracellular receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus, whereas most bind to receptors expressed on the target cell surface. 3, record 1, English, - signaling%20molecule

De nombreux types cellulaires sécrètent des molécules de signalisation, de nature biochimique variée, qui agissent à plus ou moins longue distance. [...] Les molécules de signalisation peuvent être hydrophobes, comme les stéroïdes traversant les membranes pour activer leur récepteur intracytoplasmique, ou hydrophiles comme les neurotransmetteurs et la plupart des hormones, activant alors des récepteurs à la surface membranaire. 3, record 1, French, - mol%C3%A9cule%20de%20signalisation

Nanogel is a term used to describe any mixture of nano-sized particles or fibers with a gel, usually protein-based. They have the ability to cross into the cells of living organisms. 2, record 2, English, - nanogel
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
There has been interest in applying nanogels to drug delivery systems, such as protein delivery and gene delivery. In general, chemically cross-linked nanogels are synthesized by microemulsion polymerization or a crosslinking reaction of intra-associated polymer molecules. We develop tailor-made functional nanogels to create novel nanobiomaterials (nanogel engineering) by the self-assembly of functional associating polymers as building blocks. In particular, nanogels of cholesteryl group-bearing pullulan (CHP) selectively interact with proteins as a host and are useful as artificial molecular chaperone and drug carriers such as cancer immune therapy. 3, record 2, English, - nanogel

Dans les méthodes de conception, on partage le calcul en deux parties, ce qui permet de traiter indépendamment les deux niveaux d’hétérogénéité : — d’une part, l’interaction des neutrons avec la matière, avec ses spécificités énergétiques et spatiales qui relèvent d’effets locaux liés à la géométrie des milieux, à la dépendance énergétique des sections efficaces et à la distribution des neutrons en énergie (spectre neutronique). Ce premier aspect comporte une modélisation très précise et détaillée des milieux physiques à un nombre élevé de groupes d’énergie, mais limitée à une région restreinte en espace (de l’ordre du libre parcours moyen des neutrons). Il est traité par les codes de cellule, appelés aussi codes de spectre, dont le rôle principal est celui de générer des sections efficaces pour les calculs de cœur. 1, record 3, French, - code%20de%20cellule
