Soil Type and Associated Microbiome Influence Chitin's Growth Promotion Effect in Lettuce
Chitin amendment of peat substrate has been proven effective in promoting lettuce growth and increasing phenolic compounds in lettuce seedlings. However, the effect of chitin soil amendment on lettuce growth in mineral soil remains unexplored. The effect

On the formation of ephippia in some Cladocera (Crustacea) [Translation from: Zoologicheskie Zhurnal 61, 1425-1427, 1982] [PDF]
The determination of relative connections between families and genera of Cladocera, necessary for the construction of their natural systems, must be based on various criteria, among them on the structure of the ephippia.

Thermally Responsive Architected Actuators with Programmable Shape Morphing and Tunable Stiffness
A tunable‐stiffness architected morphing structure enables programmable shape transformation and load‐bearing functionality through thermal activation. By tessellating rigid particles with shape memory alloy‐based soft connectors, the system achieves simultaneous morphing and stiffness modulation.

Effect of Chitin in Shrimp Meal on Growth Performance and Digestibility in Growing Broilers
In order to clarify whether chitin in shrimp meal (SM) affects growth performance of broilers adversely, body weight gain, feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen retention were measured in broilers given diets containing 3 levels of SM and chitin.

Functional Synovium‐Based 3D Models in the Context of Human Disease and Inflammation
The synovium is key to joint function but is often affected by diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Finding better treatments is challenging because current lab models do not fully mimic real tissues. New 3D technologies, like bioprinting, offer better methods to study these diseases, improve drug testing, and develop personalized treatments, bringing ...

Bacterial chitin degradation – mechanisms and ecophysiological strategies
Chitin is one the most abundant polymers in nature and interacts with both carbon and nitrogen cycles. Processes controlling chitin degradation are summarized in reviews published some 20 years ago, but the recent use of culture-independent molecular ...

Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate turnover by INP51 regulates the cell wall integrity pathway in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]
Signal transduction pathways are important for the cell to transduce external or internal stimuli where second messengers play an important role as mediators of the stimuli. One important group of second messengers are the phosphoinositide family present
