Reducing Plastic in Consumer Goods: Opportunities for Coarser Wool

Fibers, 2023
Production and use of plastic products have drastically increased during the past decades and their environmental impacts are increasingly spotlighted. At the same time, coarse wool, a by-product of meat and dairy production, goes largely unexploited in ...

Characterization of Indonesian Banana Species as an Alternative Cellulose Fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
The pseudostem of banana (Musa sp.) has a high value for fiber. In this study, we characterized two wild Musa acuminata, i.e., ssp. malaccensis (LIPI-030) (M1) and var. breviformis (LIPI-218) (M3), an accession of diploid M.

Slot Spiral Silicon Photonic Crystal Fiber With Property of Both High Birefringence and High Nonlinearity

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2014
A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) made of silicon is proposed and numerically optimized with both ultrahigh birefringence and nonlinearity. By introducing an elliptical low-index slot in the core region, one of the orthogonally polarized fundamental modes ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...
