Molecular Engineering Mediated Interfacial Assembly as an Artificial Extracellular Matrix Remolds Bacteria With Enhanced Abiotic Resilience

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic artificial extracellular matrix is assembled directly on Pseudomonas fluorescens by co‐assembling amyloid‐like lysozyme and alginate at the cell surface. This conformal nanocoating acts as both a hydration buffer and a physiological priming layer, markedly enhancing desiccation tolerance, seed adhesion, storage stability, and biocontrol ...

Novel estimation of gear selectivity using a concurrent mass mortality event: A case study using red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) in the northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

, 2023
Fishery-independent surveys are commonly used in modern stock assessment models to inform trends in abundance and these surveys may become more important when there are gaps in other data sources, such as harvest data.

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Sloppy gear mechanism for coupled stochastic transportation: From antiequilibrium flow to kinetic selectivity

Physical Review Research, 2022
Nonequilibrium transportation of particles through a restricted space (such as porous media or narrow channels) significantly differs from free space. With a simple model of two types of particles competing to transport via a passive single-lane channel ...
