Molecular Creep Induced Fatigue Rupture of Fibrin Clots. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Fibrin networks in thrombi paradoxically exhibit low fatigue resistance despite high fracture energy, as cyclic loading triggers irreversible α‐to‐β transitions in fibrin molecules, causing molecular creep, crack propagation. Multiscale experiments, modeling reveal how nanoscale conformational damage accumulates, linking molecular disorder to ...

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Tunable 3D‐Printed Static Mixers for Gradient Bioprinting With High Cell Viability

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 13, 8 July 2026.
ABSTRACT The fabrication of native tissue‐like structures with gradual transitions in material properties, cell types, and growth factors remains a major challenge in biofabrication due to the lack of suitable methods. Mimicking the hierarchical organization of living tissues is essential for functional models, yet creating gradient, multimaterial ...

Morphology‐Dependent Sensitivity of Chitosan‐Based Sensing Materials for the Colorimetric Detection of β‐Glucuronidase From Pathogenic E. coli

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
The impact of different morphologies and surface‐to‐volume ratio on the sensitivity of the detection of the enzyme β‐glucuronidase from E. coli using chitosan‐based enzyme‐sensitive autonomous sensing materials is unraveled. Using freeze‐drying, materials with a close to ten‐fold increased sensitivity are fabricated.

Turning Electrode Orientation into a Design Parameter: Gravity‐Driven Convection for Coupling Electrochemical and Enzymatic Reactions

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Electrochemically induced density gradients are harnessed to drive gravity‐dependent convection at partially fouled electrodes. By controlling electrode orientation and surface heterogeneity, mass transport is enhanced without external stirring. This enables coupling of electrochemical reactions with enzyme catalysis on insulating domains, exemplified ...

Black Gram (Vigna mungo L.) Hull as a Source of Soluble Dietary Fiber: Preparation and Application in Chocolate Cake With Lowering Glycemic Index

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Black gram hull (BGH), by‐product from a sprouting process, is a source of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) with bioactivity, making it an interesting ingredient for development of food products with health‐promoting effect. This research aims to examine the effect of alkaline‐aided extraction (0.5%, 1%, and 2% NaOH solutions) on physicochemical ...

Phosphate‐ and pH‐dependent self‐assembly of recombinant spider silk proteins

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The process of molecular self‐assembly is an omnipresent mechanism in nature to generate a variety of efficient and functional hierarchical architectures, and inspires tailored material design and development. Thereby, self‐assembly is based on a controlled interplay and association of monomers into highly ordered structures triggered by ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Properly Speaking, Sir Isaac Newton Was the First Perceptual Psychologist and, Therefore, the First Psychologist

Color Research &Application, Volume 51, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Newton’s insight that “the rays are not colored” anticipated a constructivist view of perception in which physical stimuli provide input but perceptual qualities arise from neural processing. Framed by Newton’s view, early sensory psychology and modern neuroscience converged on the conclusion that color is an internally generated percept, shaped by ...
