A Strong and Water‐Retaining Biomass Adhesive Inspired by Tofu

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the formation mechanism of the traditional food tofu, a strong and water‐retaining adhesive is designed using the soybean meal (SM) oxidized by glucose oxidase (GOx) and calcium sulfate oligomer (CSO). This design strategy effectively addresses the conflicting requirements of water‐resistant bonding strength and water retention

Nonequilibrium and nonlinear kinetics as key determinants for bistability in fission yeast G2-M transition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
A living cell is an open, nonequilibrium biochemical system where ATP hydrolysis serves as the energy source for a wide range of intracellular processes, possibly including the assurance for decision-making. In the fission yeast cell cycle, the transition from G2 to M phase is driven by the activation of Cdc13/Cdc2 and Cdc25 and the deactivation of ...
