Phase Separation of Nucleic Acids: Mechanisms, Properties, and Applications
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Recent discoveries have shown that single‐stranded long‐chain nucleic acids can undergo temperature‐induced phase separation, enabling formation of micrometer‐sized condensates. This Minireview discusses the current mechanistic understanding of this phenomenon, highlights strategies for controlling the physical and chemical properties of these ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
