From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Molecularly Engineered Fluorescent Magnetic Microrobots for Sensing High‐Energy Nitroaromatic Explosives in Highly Acidic Aqueous Environments

Small, EarlyView.
Magnetically powered fluorescent microrobots embedded with ketenimine‐based probes enable remote sensing of high‐energy explosive compounds in harsh acidic environments. Upon interaction with picric acid, the fluorescence of the microrobots is quenched, providing a precise “on–off” detection mechanism for selective monitoring in confined and hazardous ...

“I'm a Good Guy Who Deserves Better, Yet Nobody Wants to Give me Better”: The Accounts of Nice Guys

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Within Western popular culture and online discourse, a “Nice Guy” is someone who enacts niceness for which they believe they are owed, deserving of, or entitled to something in return—especially the romantic or sexual attention of women. In this study, we examine the use of accounts in personal narratives told in an anonymous online discussion forum ...

Constructing Difference: Maternal Boundary‐Work in Science‐Based and Natural Mom Groups on Facebook

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Boundary‐work describes the activities of social groups as they seek to differentiate themselves from others to establish credibility, authority, or to protect their interests. While a growing body of literature explores occupational boundary‐work in health care, limited research has focused on how lay actors practice boundary‐work online.
