arXiv, 2010 Using first-principles calculations, we show that the formation of carbohydrate directly from carbon and water is energetically favored when graphene membrane is subjected to aqueous environment with difference in chemical potential across the two sides. The resultant carbohydrate is two-dimensional, where the hydrogen atoms are exclusively attached on

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Beta‐glucans have gained significant attention as an immunomodulatory biomaterial with cell‐targeting capabilities. This review comprehensively outlines the design and fabrication methods for producing beta‐glucan particles at both the micro and nanoscale and their applications in immune cell targeting, immunomodulation, and drug delivery ...

The Meat of the Matter: A thumb rule for scavenging dogs? [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Animals that scavenge in and around human localities need to utilize a broad range of resources. Preference for any one kind of food, under such circumstances, might be inefficient. Indian free-ranging dogs, Canis lupus familiaris are scavengers that are heavily dependent on humans for sustaining their omnivorous diet.

Direct imaging of carbohydrate stereochemistry [PDF]
arXivCarbohydrates, essential biological building blocks, exhibit functional mechanisms tied to their intricate stereochemistry. Subtle stereochemical differences, such as those between the anomers maltose and cellobiose, lead to distinct properties due to their differing glycosidic bonds; the former is digestible by humans, while the latter is not.

Characterisation of Optimal Responses to Pulse Inputs in the Bergman Minimal Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The Bergman minimal model is a dynamic model of plasma glucose concentration. It has two input variables -- insulin delivery and carbohydrate intake. We investigate the behaviour of plasma glucose concentration predicted by the model given carbohydrate (CHO) inputs and commensurate insulin inputs.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...
