Blueprint for a high-performance biomaterial: full-length spider dragline silk genes.
PLoS ONE, 2007 Spider dragline (major ampullate) silk outperforms virtually all other natural and manmade materials in terms of tensile strength and toughness. For this reason, the mass-production of artificial spider silks through transgenic technologies has been a ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.We investigated how gut microbiota and endosymbionts influence the success of native and invasive spiders in Hawaiian and mainland environments. Gut microbial composition was shaped more by local environmental conditions than invasion status, whereas invasive species generally harbored fewer endosymbionts, with abundance varying by site. These findings

Change of Rotation Measure during the Eclipse of a Black Widow PSR J2051−0827
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Black widows are millisecond pulsars ablating their companions. The material blown from the companion blocks the radio emission, resulting in radio eclipses. The properties of the eclipse medium are poorly understood.

Membrane trafficking of synaptic adhesion molecules
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 20, Page 5921-5934, October 15, 2025.Abstract figure legend Synaptic cellular adhesion molecules are surface transmembrane receptors that have been shown to internalize via endocytosis, and possibly also recycle, in a process that has been linked to the function and the turnover of the synaptic contact site.
