Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Bio‐Inspired Sclerotization of Lignin: A Robust Adhesive for Photothermal Wood‐Based Panels
A high‐performance lignin adhesive is engineered via an insect‐inspired sclerotization strategy involving oxidation and hyperbranched polymer grafting, overcoming lignin's adhesion failure, and yielding a wet shear strength of 1.02–1.21 MPa. The adhesive endows wood‐based panels with photothermal functionality; building energy simulations indicate HVAC‐

Cytotoxicity of 19 Pesticides in Rainbow Trout Gill, Liver, and Intestinal Cell Lines
Abstract The rainbow trout gill cell line (RTgill‐W1), via test guideline 249 of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, has been established as a promising New Approach Methodology, although to advance confidence in the method more case studies are needed that: 1) expand our understanding of applicability domains (chemicals with ...
