Leveraging Viscosity to Unlock the Osteogenic Potential of BMP‐2 Mimetic DWIVA

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Dynamic interfaces based on supported lipid bilayers demonstrate that the osteogenic potential of the BMP‐2 mimetic DWIVA can be harnessed by modulating substrate viscosity. This work highlights that the viscous properties of the cellular microenvironment play a crucial role in the mechanosensitive regulation of growth factor activity.

Single‐Particle Characterization Reveals Heterogeneous Extracellular Vesicle Fusion with Liposomes

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
This study used five orthogonal single‐particle techniques to compare how common mechanical methods fuse extracellular vesicles with liposomes. By quantifying fused‐particle yield, purity, and vesicle integrity, we found that freeze‐thaw and sonication generated the highest fusion but that all methods introduced membrane perturbation or damage.

Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

Homefront: Black Servicemembers and Black Voters in the Civil Rights Era

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of Black World War II veterans in the Civil Rights Movement has been well documented, but the effect of Black military service on Black voting patterns remains unclear. Combining detailed information on World War II enlistments and Civil Rights Commission data on voter registration by race, we estimate the role of Black veterans in ...

The History and Ideas of George Herbert Mead's Pragmatism and Its Relevance for Operational Research and Systems Thinkers

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.
