A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Differential Regulation of the Expression of the Two Thyrotropin Beta Subunit Paralogs by Salmon Pituitary Cells In Vitro

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
We recently characterized two paralogs of the thyrotropin (TSH) beta subunit in Atlantic salmon, tshβa and tshβb, issued from teleost-specific whole genome duplication.

Guidance for assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fish and other aquatic organisms [PDF]

This guide describes the process of conducting a health assessment in areas with potential per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure via consumption of fish or other aquatic organisms that are locally harvested and consumed.

Interplay among environmental factors, development of CO2 concentrating mechanisms and phylogenetic constraints shaping Rubisco evolution across aquatic photosynthetic organisms

, 2022
Rubisco is the main CO2-fixing enzyme in the biosphere and sustains the vast majority of food chains on Earth. Although Rubisco catalysis is currently an area of active study, there is still a strong debate about the main drivers shaping Rubisco ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Identification and functional analysis of YB-1 and YB-2 from Amur minnow (Phoxinus lagowskii)

Aquaculture Reports
In vertebrates, Y-box proteins play a pivotal role in stress regulation. In this study, we cloned two Y-box genes (YB-1 and YB-2) from the cold-water fish, Amur minnow (Phoxinus lagowskii). Our findings showed that the full-length AmYB-1 and AmYB-2 genes

Acute toxicity of birch tar oil on aquatic organisms [PDF]

, 2008
Birch tar oil (BTO) is a by-product of processing birch wood in a pyrolysis system. Accumulating evidence suggests the suitability of BTO as a biocide or repellent in terrestrial environments for the control of weeds, insects, molluscs and rodents.

Cyclodextrin‐Functionalized Light‐Driven Cu2O Micromotors for Simultaneous Capture and Degradation of Bisphenol A

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Fuel‐free Cu2O‐based micromotors functionalized with β‐cyclodextrin actively remove bisphenol A from water under visible light. The cyclodextrin shell captures BPA and enhances micromotor motility, leading to faster degradation and higher overall removal than nonfunctionalized Cu2O and Cu2O@Au.
