DNA Nanotechnology Meets Peptide and Protein Self‐Assembly

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Combining DNA nanotechnology with peptide and protein assembly provides complementary platforms for the rational engineering of functional biomaterials. This Perspective discusses the emerging field of self‐assembling DNA‐peptide and DNA‐protein hybrid systems that combine the structural precision and programmability of DNA nanotechnology with the ...

Differential sensitivity to SHH signaling and neural crest‐mediated Gas1 expression regulate jaw size during development and evolution

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Developmental control of jaw size is crucial to prevent birth defects and facilitate evolutionary adaptation. We have shown that jaw size is established by neural crest mesenchyme (NCM), which are progenitor cells that migrate into the mandibular primordia and produce the jaws.

Disentangling functional spaces: a multidimensional framework for ecology and conservation

Ecography, EarlyView.
Trait‐based ecology often relies on a single functional space, where diverse traits are combined into one multivariate framework. While convenient, this approach risks masking ecological strategies because variance is often dominated by a few traits, such as body size.

Breeding success of, & habitat use by, eider ducks [PDF]

, 1990
The study covers several facets of the ecology of the Eider ducks of the Northumberland coast between Hadston Carrs and Craster between 9 May and 1 August 1990. Special attention was given to the breeding success of the Coquet island population.

Evidence of the trade-off between starvation and predation risks in ducks [PDF]

, 2011
The theory of trade-off between starvation and predation risks predicts a decrease in body mass in order to improve flight performance when facing high predation risk.

Sustainable plant‐leaf‐derived carbon dots with deep‐red emission enable 1‐min photodynamic therapy of tumors

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this study, plant‐derived carbon dots (CDs) were prepared using natural plant leaves as raw materials through solvothermal method. These CDs retain the porphyrin structure from chlorophyll and can simultaneously generate I and II types of reactive oxygen species. A 660 nm laser irradiation for only 1 min can achieve efficient photodynamic anti‐tumor

Conserved SERPINE2 function maintains ovarian estrogen production to support fertility in goats and mice

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and functional profiling of goat ovaries with divergent litter sizes revealed prolificacy‐associated granulosa cell (GC) states characterized by enhanced proliferation‐ and steroidogenesis‐related features, together with altered predicted cell–cell communication.
