Biomimetics [PDF]

Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science, 2003
The well-organised multifunctional structures, systems and biogenic materials found in nature have attracted the interest of scientists working in many disciplines. The efforts have resulted in the development of a new and rapidly growing field of scientific effort called biomimetics.

Dioxygen compatible electron donor-acceptor catalytic system and its enabled aerobic oxygenation

Nature Communications
The photochemical properties of Electron Donor-Acceptor (EDA) complexes present exciting opportunities for synthetic chemistry. However, these strategies often require an inert atmosphere to maintain high efficiency.

Reducing Effect of Farnesylquinone on Lipid Mass in C. elegans by Modulating Lipid Metabolism

Marine Drugs, 2019
Bioassay-guided fractionation of marine-derived fungi revealed that the EtOAc fraction from the fermentation broth of a mutated fungal strain Streptomyces nitrosporeus YBH10-5 had lipid-lowering effects in HepG2 cells.

A protease-cleavable liposome for co-delivery of anti-PD-L1 and doxorubicin for colon cancer therapy in mice

Nature Communications
Immune checkpoint blockade therapy using programmed cell death 1 (PD1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has made significant progress in the treatment of advanced cancers, with some patients achieving long-term remission without clinical recurrence ...

Challenging the biomimetic promise-do laypersons perceive biomimetic buildings as more sustainable and more acceptable?

This study investigates whether or not laypersons perceive biomimetic buildings as more sustainable and acceptable, a notion termed the “biomimetic promise”.

Biomimetic Receptors and Sensors [PDF]

Sensors, 2014
In biomimetics, living systems are imitated to develop receptors for ions, molecules and bioparticles. The most pertinent idea is self-organization in analogy to evolution in nature, which created the key-lock principle. Today, modern science has been developing host-guest chemistry, a strategy of supramolecular chemistry for designing interactions of ...

BIOMIMETIC ENGINEERING

Acta Horticulturae, 2008
Humankind is a privileged animal species for many reasons. A remarkable one is its ability to conceive and manufacture objects. Human industry is indeed leading the various winning strategies (along with language and culture) that has permitted this primate to extraordinarily increase its life expectancy and proliferation rate.

Cascade-heterogated proton nanotransistors for multiplex pH-interval imaging

Nature Communications
The pH in organisms is strictly regulated within an appropriate range for homeostasis, and many pathological processes often result in pH dysregulation to distinct intervals that serves as targets for diagnosis and treatment.
