Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Predator-prey space use in response to chemical cues of predation [PDF]
, 2017 Interactions between predators and prey are a major component of ecosystems and have the potential to shape ecosystem dynamics. As predators and prey move together spatially and temporally throughout their habitat, each makes decisions to increase its ...

The role of volatiles in aggregation and host-seeking of the haematophagous poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae (Acari: Dermanyssidae) [PDF]
, 2010 Infestations with ectoparasitic poultry red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) pose an increasing threat to poultry health and welfare. Because of resistance to acaricides and higher scrutiny of poultry products, alternative and environmentally safe management

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

The Smell of Success?—The Impact of Perfume-Gender Congruency on Ratings of Attraction and the Halo Effect [PDF]
, 2014 Research into the concept of attraction has indicated the existence of olfactory influences that go beyond pheromonal level. Synthetic fragrances have been found to affect not only perception of attraction, but also attribution of beauty-unrelated ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Morphological and developmental plasticity in larvae of Physalaemus santafecinus (Anura: Leiuperidae) in response to chemical cues of different predators [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2011 Many antipredator responses are mediated or induced by the ability of the prey to identify chemical cues of predators. The presence of chemicals produced by predators may alert tadpoles to the presence of the predators, and a heightened response to alarm

, 2020 We perceive smells as perduring complex entities within a distal array that might be conceived of as smellscapes. However, the philosophical orthodoxy of Odor Theories has been to deny that smells are perceived as having a distal location.
