Study of the Application of Alkaline Extrusion to the Pretreatment of Eucalyptus Biomass as First Step in a Bioethanol Production Process

Energies, 2018
Eucalyptus biomass was studied as a feedstock for sugars release using an alkaline extrusion plus a neutralization-based pretreatment. This approach would be a first step in a bioconversion process aimed at obtaining fuel bioethanol from eucalyptus ...

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Encapsulated Leptin‐Producing Cells Facilitate Entrainment of Circadian Rhythms in Rodents and Nonhuman Primates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A clinically translatable cell line can be engineered to produce leptin, encapsulated in biomaterial and safely implanted to produce and deliver the metabolic regulating protein within the body. Implantation of these encapsulated cells decreases the time it takes for mice and non‐human primates to adjust to circadian disruptions similar to those ...

Developing a strain‐dependent susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma in a murine model based on histopathological evidence and genetic context

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Using F1 (C57BL/6J/Smad4+/− X CC) mice, we found that partial loss of Smad4 promotes liver carcinogenesis in a strain‐dependent manner, highlighting the importance of genetic modifiers in tumor susceptibility. The use of Collaborative Cross mice provides a valuable platform for uncovering genotype‐specific cancer susceptibilities in preclinical ...
