Protein‐binding aptamers remain poorly understood compared to their small‐molecule counterparts. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) variants as a tractable model system, we show how subtle changes in protein surface composition and divalent metal ions reshape aptamer selection, specificity, and binding.

Genome-wide association study of caffeine metabolites provides new insights to caffeine metabolism and dietary caffeine-consumption behavior. [PDF]
Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world and presents with wide interindividual variation in metabolism. This variation may modify potential adverse or beneficial effects of caffeine on health.

Caffeine cue-reactivity: The impact of caffeine-related stimuli and expectancies on caffeine craving. [PDF]
Caffeine is consumed by approximately 90% of adults, yet its potential addictive properties have been understudied. Specifically, this study examined the impact caffeine cue reactivity and expectancy on caffeine craving and withdrawal.

Rapid measurement of serum caffeine concentrations in acuteclinical settings
The number of acute caffeine poisoning cases have increased in Japan. We can use serum caffeine concentrations to evaluate the severity of caffeine poisoning and determine whether or not we should perform hemodialysis. In this study, we sought to develop

Two components of cocoa powder, caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) and theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), were evaluated for their effect on growth of L. monocytogenes strain V7. Caffeine (0.5%) and theobromine (2.5%) were added singly or in combination to skim milk or a modified tryptose phosphate broth (MTPB), which were sterilized, inoculated to ...

We introduce a novel method combining microfluidics, optogenetics, and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to encapsulate single iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC‐CMs) in an optimal environment for functional characterization. This method enables direct genotype‐phenotype correlation for genetic studies and high‐throughput screening ...

Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints
This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.
