Eosinophil-expressed galectin-3 regulates cell trafficking and migration

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a β galactoside-binding lectin, is implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation and allergen-challenged mice deficient in Gal-3 (Gal-3-/-) exhibit decreased airway recruitment of eosinophils (Eos). Gal-3 is expressed

Overcoming Printing and Interfacial Challenges in Liquid Metal Direct Writing for Integrated Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Liquid metal direct writing is advanced from a technological and fundamental point. Utilizing a kinematic bed, printing on large surfaces with irregularities is enabled. Furthermore, a pressure‐driven flow during printing is discovered that affects the thickness of traces.

Perspektiv på EØS 30 år

Internasjonal Politikk
EØS-avtalen har bidratt til at EU er Norges klart viktigste handelspartner, med kraftig vekst i handelen særlig med nye medlemsland. For varer har EØS ført til et nesten sømløst felles marked for de sektorer som omfattes.

Agar‐Based Optical Sensing System With a Phosphorescent Grid Pattern for Measuring Stress Distributions of Root Growth Using the Sampling Moiré Method

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Kartet og terrengetEn analyse av EUs forsøk på å sikre lik nasjonal forvaltningspraksis ved fastsettelse av bankenes kapitalkrav

Kritisk Juss
Rammeverket for fastsettelse av bankers kapitalkrav utgjør en viktig del av EUs bankregulering. Etter det någjeldende rammeverket følger summen av det samlede kapitalkravet en bank må overholde, av både kapitalkravsforordningen (CRR) og beslutninger ...

Multi-Climate Factors and the Preceding Growth Stage of Vegetation Co-Regulated the Variation of the End of Growing Season in Northeast Inner Mongolia, China

IEEE Access, 2020
The end of growing season (EOS) is an effective indicator of annual vegetation growth. Previous studies have revealed the dynamics of the EOS with climate change, while the influence of vegetation growth in preceding stage and peak of growing season (POS)

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

ROS‐Responsive Nanobubbles for Dual‐Enhanced Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tumor Oxidative Stress

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report the development of biotinylated PEGylated bilirubin‐coated perfluoropentane (bt‐PEG‐BR@PFP) nanobubbles, a novel class of ROS‐activatable and dual‐modality contrast agents that amplify both ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals in response to elevated ROS.
