Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

Contrasting abundance and residency patterns of two sympatric populations of transient killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the northern Gulf of Alaska [PDF]

, 2012
Two sympatric populations of “transient” (mammal-eating) killer whales were photo-identified over 27 years (1984–2010) in Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords, coastal waters of the northern Gulf of Alaska (GOA).

Higher‐Level Structural Classification of Pseudomonas Cyclic Lipopeptides through Their Bioactive Conformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Solution structures of a series of cyclic lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas reveal that these specialized metabolites adopt left‐handed alpha helical conformations of only two types, being either ‘stapled’ or ‘catch‐pole’ helix. The particular modular distribution of the biosynthetic gene clusters is found to determine the extent of their conserved ...

CGRP Enhances the Regeneration of Bone Defects by Regulating Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Promoting ANGPTL4 Secretion by Bone Blood Vessels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CGRP interacts with HMEC‐1 by binding to surface receptors, influencing the downstream FAK/AKT/VEGF signaling pathway, and promoting the secretion of ANGPTL4 from vascular endothelial cells into the bone microenvironment. This, in turn, regulates the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, thus promoting bone formation. ABSTRACT Bone angiogenesis is
