Region‐Specific Profiling of the Gut Microbiome and Metabolite Landscape in Response to Dietary Intervention Using Electronics‐Free Ingestible Smart Sampling Capsules

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Region‐specific profiling of the gut microbiome is achieved non‐invasively using electronics‐free ingestible sampling capsules that activate at defined intestinal sites through stimuli‐responsive coatings. Deployed in a porcine dietary intervention model, the capsules resolve spatially distinct, fiber‐driven shifts in microbial composition and short ...

Receptor identification and in vivo efficacy of a lytic phage vB_EcoStr-FJ63A against colistin-resistant Escherichia coli

Veterinary Research
Bacteriophages (phages), as natural predators of bacteria, represent promising alternatives to antibiotics. However, challenges such as narrow host range and insufficient pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies restrict phage therapy.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Unveiling the immunomodulatory properties of Haemonchus contortus adhesion regulating molecule 1 interacting with goat T cells

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Gastrointestinal nematodes could release excretory-secretory (ES) proteins into the host environment to ensure their survival. These ES proteins act as immunomodulators to suppress or subvert the host immune response via the impairment of ...

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.
