MagNanoTrap Enrichment Empowers Ultra‐Sensitive Quantification of Mixed Nanoplastic Particles From Environmental Water Samples

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with the bifunctional peptide LCI‐DZ‐MBP1, where LCI binds the iron oxide surface and MBP1 acts as a universal plastic‐binding peptide, combined with pyrolysis‐gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py‐GC/MS), enable efficient enrichment, precise detection, and quantification of mixed plastics (PS, PE, PP, PET, PMMA, PC, Nylon

A Novel Green Method for Producing Medical‐Grade Chitosan From Loligo plei Squid Pens

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a sustainable and simplified process for the production of medical‐grade chitosan from the feathers of the squid Loligo plei, employing mild chemical treatments to preserve the integrity of the polymer while achieving high purity and performance.

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.
