Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

Quantal Regulation and Exocytosis of Platelet Dense-Body Granules [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2011
This study reports how quantal size, or the quantity of chemical messengers within a storage granule, is regulated in platelet dense-body granules via dynamic adaption of granule size according to changing levels of granule contents. Mechanistic studies using carbon-fiber microelectrode fast-scan cyclic voltammetry and amperometry methods correlated ...

Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Cerebellar Granule Cells: Dense, Rich and Evolving Representations [PDF]

Current Biology, 2017
For half a century it was assumed that granule cells use ultra-sparse encoding, but now in vivo calcium-imaging studies have shown that large ensembles of granule cells provide dense signals, which themselves evolve and adapt during training.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

First Characterization of theNeospora caninumDense Granule Protein GRA9 [PDF]

, 2017
The obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasiteNeospora caninum (N. caninum)is closely related toToxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). The dense granules, which are present in all apicomplexan parasites, are important secretory organelles.

Architectural Tuning of Bouligand Electrospun Laminates Enables Coupled Mechanical Robustness and Electromechanical Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired Bouligand architectures are translated into biodegradable polymer laminates with integrated sensing, revealing how structural design governs multifunctional performance. A 20° interlayer rotation optimizes strength, flexibility, and electromechanical response, while embedded nanotube networks enable real‐time damage detection and wearable ...

Ophioderma peruana, a new species of brittlestar (Echinodermata, Ophiuroidea, Ophiodermatidae) from the Peruvian coast

ZooKeys, 2013
Ophioderma peruana sp. n. is a new species of Ophiodermatidae, extending the distribution of the genus Ophioderma to Lobos de Afuera Island, Peru, easily distinguishable from its congeners by its peculiarly fragmented dorsal arm plates.
