Mechanistic insights across curing regimes for enzymatic and biopolymer‐optimized reinforcement in rock masses

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Light‐Driven Butyrate Production by a Probiotic Clostridium tyrobutyricum Enabled by a Cell‐Semiconductor Hybrid Interface

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates a light‐driven biohybrid system where CdS nanoparticles, mineralized on the probiotic Clostridium tyrobutyricum, inject photoelectrons to elevate intracellular NADH. This boosts the flux through key NADH‐dependent enzymes (GapA, Hbd, and Bcd), reprogramming metabolism to enhance butyrate yield by 33.2% and selectivity to 95.7%

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Bioinspired extracellular vesicles embedded with black phosphorus for molecular recognition-guided biomineralization

Nature Communications, 2019
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the regulation of cell physiological activity and the reconstruction of extracellular environment. Matrix vesicles (MVs) are a type of EVs released by bone-related functional cells, and they participate in the

Strategies and mechanisms of precision genome engineering: From gene editing to genome writing

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
In this review, we examined the progression of genome manipulation from stochastic nuclease‐mediated cutting toward precise editing and programmable genome writing. We discussed tools like multi‐kilobase RNA‐guided integrators and Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐designed effectors and showed how these advances enable researchers to treat genomes as ...

Silicanin-1 is a conserved diatom membrane protein involved in silica biomineralization

BMC Biology, 2017
Background Biological mineral formation (biomineralization) proceeds in specialized compartments often bounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. Currently, the role of membranes in biomineralization is hardly understood.

A uterine‐centric view of reproductive senescence: Genetic insights into late‐life performance in laying hens

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study identifies uterus weight as a heritable (h2 = 0.45) intermediate phenotype that independently associates with late‐life egg production and eggshell quality in aged laying hens. Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) reveals a genome‐wide significant locus on chromosome 3 and suggestive loci on chromosome 11 for uterus weight, mediation ...

Biomineralization of soil with crude soybean urease using different calcium salts

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Calcium salt is an important contributing factor for calcium-based biomineralization. To study the effect of calcium salt on soil biomineralization using crude soybean urease, the calcium salts, including the calcium chloride (CaCl2), calcium acetate ...
