Bioinspired Additive Manufacturing of Hierarchical Materials: From Biostructures to Functions

open access: yesResearch, 2023
Throughout billions of years, biological systems have evolved sophisticated, multiscale hierarchical structures to adapt to changing environments. Biomaterials are synthesized under mild conditions through a bottom-up self-assembly process, utilizing ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Understanding creep in sandstone reservoirs – theoretical deformation mechanism maps for pressure solution in granular materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Subsurface exploitation of the Earth’s natural resources removes the natural system from its chemical and physical equilibrium. As such, groundwater extraction and hydrocarbon production from subsurface reservoirs frequently causes surface subsidence and

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Deformation of fine-grained synthetic peridotite under wet conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Fine-grained hydrated peridotite mylonites have been proposed to play an important role in controlling the strength of the continental lithosphere during rifting.

Compaction creep of quartz sand at 400-600°C: Experimental evidence for dissolution-controlled pressure solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Intergranular pressure solution (IPS) is an important compaction and deformation mechanism in quartzose rocks, but the kinetics and rate-controlling process remain unclear. The aim of the present study is to test microphysical models for compaction creep

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Effects of Plastic Deformation on the Transport Properties of Rocksalt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
It has recently been suggested that plastic deformation of rocksalt in nature can lead to the development of significant permeability to fluids, even under fully ductile deformation conditions.

The high temperature deformation behavior of a triplex (ferrite+ austenite+ martensite) low density steel

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021
The present work deals with the high temperature deformation behavior of Fe-11.15Mn-5.6Al-0.07C (wt.%) triplex ferrite-based lightweight steel in the temperature range of 800–1100 °C under the strain rate of 0.001 to 0.1s−1.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...
