Transcription factor BnaA1.WRKY53 is involved in regulation of auxin-induced leaf curling under boron deficiency in Brassica napus

Crop Journal
Brassica napus (oilseed rape) is sensitive to boron (B) deficiency and exhibits young leaf curling in response to low-B stress at the seedling stage, which leads to reduced photosynthesis and plant growth.

Valproic Acid-Induced Hair Curling

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2007
A 47-year-old white female patient treated with valproic acid (VPA) 500mg 3xd, at Utrecht University, the Netherlands, developed curling of the hair which gradually resolved over 5 years continuous therapy, with blood levels ranging from 97 to 146 mg/L.

Why curling stones curl?- modelling and numerical experiment -

Tribology Letters, 2022
Abstract In curling, a sport played on ice, players release stones on the ice sheet at initial speeds of translation and rotation aiming to a target location with curled trajectory. To elucidate why the stones curl, we focus on the fact that asperities on the leading and trailing parts of the bottom of stone pass through the same spot on the ...

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.
