Collagen‐Based Gut‐on‐Chip for In Vitro Modeling of Intestinal Barrier Function and Host‐Pathogen Interactions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A collagen‐based gut‐on‐chip model replicates the intestinal extracellular matrix, supporting villi‐like structures, tight junctions, and mucin production. This biomimetic platform enables rapid epithelial differentiation and functional barrier formation.

Mitochondrial genomes of Meghimatium pictum and Succinea arundinetorum provide insight into the gene order rearrangement within Stylommatophora (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata)

BMC Zoology
In this study, we report the whole mitochondrial genomes of two species, Meghimatium pictum and Succinea arundinetorum, which belong to Stylommatophora, one of the most abundant orders of Gastropoda. The total sizes of M. pictum and S.

Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals the operating mode and chlorination-aggravated SWRO biofouling at a nuclear power plant

Water Science and Technology
Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling and biological contamination problems faced by seawater desalination systems are microbiologically related. We used full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing to assess the bacterial community structure and chlorine ...

Coastal Protection Devices – A Review

Coastal Engineering 1982, 1982
Coastal protection devices include, but are not limited to, dune stabilization, seawalls, groynes, detached breakwaters, sand bypassing and beach nourishment. These are the "tools". The "rules" for their use comes from a knowledge of the beach processes which in many instances are site specific. Systems which work satisfactorily at one location may not

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Systematic Multi‐Level Analyses Decode the Arthritis‐Neurodegeneration Axis With In Vivo Validation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Arthritis and neurodegeneration are usually studied as separate disorders, but this study connects them through population evidence, genetic inference, transcriptomic mapping, and mouse models. It highlights RNF40 as a context‐dependent joint‐brain candidate, induced in inflammatory joints yet functionally linked to dopamine‐neuron vulnerability ...
